<h3 dir="auto">Problem</h3>
<p dir="auto">Common sources of vandalism and spam include anonymous users or those with recently-created accounts.</p>
<p dir="auto">Specifically regarding notes, the debate is still open as to whether anonymous accounts should be able to create notes at all. See <a href="https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/we-dont-need-anonymous-notes/105335" rel="nofollow">https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/we-dont-need-anonymous-notes/105335</a></p>
