BUT something has to be done against the Spam on the User Diaries page.<br>

Soon or later, we will have more spam than real diary entries if it's<br>
not already the case. Since the devs have no will or resources to<br>
struggle against spam, I would suggest to remove the diary feature<br>
completely.<br>

I just think the diaries are too important for that, right now. They are pretty pretty much the only place where you can share something with the community outside of mailing lists. In addition those blog entries can actually be formatted and shared online compared to mailing lists. (e.g. <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/duckduckgo/duplicates/24yqc2/nextduckduckgo_uses_openstreetmap_for_places/" target="_blank">http://www.reddit.com/r/<u></u>duckduckgo/duplicates/24yqc2/<u></u>nextduckduckgo_uses_<u></u>openstreetmap_for_places/</a>)<br>
<br>
OpenStreetMap does not really have a news page, which gets regular updates and submitting the larger announcements to the official blog to be published will be even more work.<br>
<br>
Also they are on the <a href="http://openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">openstreetmap.org</a> domain which means is really great from a SEO perspective (compared to private blogs), which unfortunately also is the main reason for all the Spam.<br>
