Perhaps a bot to auto-ban accounts that are running unauthorized bots ;)<br>
<br>
Seriously though, I've all-but stopped contributing to the map until
after the SOTMs because of issues like this.<br>
<br>
One of the other things that OSM desperately needs is a way to
coordinate tagging across editors and renderers. Yes I know that the
traditional answer is "tag for reality, not for the renderer", but in
all seriousness, the data is useless without renderers and vice-versa.<br>
<br>
I haven't had the time lately to check-in with the US SOTM group, but I'd like to see a schema file for tags that have gone through the approval process that JOSM, mkgmap, Mapnik, Potlatch, etc... can all read. <br>
<br>Obviously, the file would need to be kept centralized and only be writable by a limited number of people. CVS, GIT, and MediaWIKI all have user-rights functions to accomplish this. Any takers?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

You might want to extend your message to talk as there are quite a few<br>
bots running that are not maintained by US based contributors. In PA I<br>
have seen a lot of duplicate nodes fixed but with duplicate ways left<br>
behind. I messaged some of the users doing this but did not get any<br>
response so far.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
