<p>I agree that spamming is a problem.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>My current way to contact the mapper is to add a comment to the <br>
</p>
<p>changeset, did that > 100 times now, typically with good response.</p>
<p>A typical comment looks like this:</p>
<p>Please review [way(s) / node(s) ] id,id,...</p>
<p>The tag tagkey1=tagvalue1 is rarely used, did you mean <br>
</p>
<p>tagkey2=tagvalue2 ? See also <link to wiki page></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Another typical comment looks like this:</p>
<p>Please review [way(s) / node(s) ] id,id,...</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've changed the rarely used tag ... to ...</p>
<p>See also <link to wiki page><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So, what I have in mind might be a JOSM plugin.</p>

<pre>Of the above I would prefer </pre>
<pre>man_made=weighbridge</pre>
<pre>Can be applied to railways, highways with equal ease. And yes both railways and highways have them.
A weighting scale, machine may be for postal items, personal scales... a weighbridge is for vehicles.

<pre>I would think the critical things would be the weight limit and the weight resolution.
Not what kind of sensor is employed. </pre>

<p><tt>Need to be careful not to support spam! <br>
Other than that .. yes, would make contact easier .. but a discussion page would be better rather than private emails?
