Should I just report them to the DWG, especially since he hasn't talked to talk-us about running the script? The reason I'm asking is because I've already spotted one of these type of users who is just running a script that is just changing tags from one to another type to rack up the edits. Heck, he's also somehow editing some nodes just to make them his without doing anything to them (no idea how he's doing that!).<br>
