Note, lots of the above would be violations of our ToU, and outside of
that, neither desirable nor a good idea.

IRL editing on OSM is very near to publishing a blog post or similar,
something you are doing in public with the intent  of the results being
public and there are limits to how far you can do this in an anonymous
fashion. If you can't live with the resulting consequences I would
suggest not contributing in any larger fashion.
