This is a thorny issue bit will ask anyway. ;)<br>
<br>
Not very often, but we do encounter questionable contributions.<br>
Normally, local mappers would contact the specific contributor to<br>
explain and provide guidance. But in some cases, these messages were<br>
ignored and the contributor continues to do questionable edits.<br>
<br>
There is a DWG [0] to resolve such issue. We do understand that DWG<br>
members are volunteers like most of us and local issues might not get<br>
attention immediately. I would like to discuss the possibility for<br>
our local chapter/community to form our own sort of DWG where we can<br>
address local concerns/disputes.<br>
<br>
We have a few active and trusted volunteers who can discuss and<br>
resolve such issues. But in rare occasions we think we should have<br>
the rights to do "temporary blocks" within our local areas.<br>
