<p dir="ltr">In general these are maperthon mappers of the type I call disposable mappers so leaving feedback really doesn't work. They map once and that's about it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Any suggestions on how to catch them. I have noticed that building=residential is often used in this way. Having smaller tiles helps as you get fewer mappers completing the tiles and once I spot one by a particular mapper then I can roll out the to-do list plugin.</p>
