<div dir="ltr">I echo Bryan - this is a much needed feature. I started incorporating OSMCha into my review of new users in my area. That I could easily capture "good and bad" edits and post a comment to the user at the same time is nice. When I do come across a bad edit, and it doesn't happen often, I post a more complete changeset message. For example, a yesterday a new user made one bad and one good edit. The bad edit was to add a natural=water rectangle in a back yard, his I'm assuming. It was so large you could fit two or more olympic sized swimming pools in the same area. The other edit was to add a parking lot. I often even post tips when they make a good edit but the edit could use some improvement - often squaring houses.<div><br></div><div>OSMCha offers us the chance to catch problems early which is going to discourage vandalism by removing any trace of it. That way the new user can't show their friends how they added say a pokemon spawning feature next to their house.</div><div><br></div><div>Willie - thanks for the feature</div><div><br></div><div>Clifford</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 12, 2018 at 6:17 AM, Erwin Olario <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:govvin@gmail.com" target="_blank">govvin@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><br>reposting an earlier reply, which i mistakenly sent directly just to Michael<div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: Erwin Olario <<a href="mailto:govvin@gmail.com" target="_blank">govvin@gmail.com</a>><br>Date: Fri, Jan 12, 2018 at 10:15 PM<br>Subject: Re: [OSM-talk] Automatically generated changeset discussion comments by OSMCha<br>To: Michael Reichert <<a href="mailto:osm-ml@michreichert.de" target="_blank">osm-ml@michreichert.de</a>><br></div><br><br><div dir="ltr"><div>I believe it's a good idea.

<br>
OSMCha started posting comments to changesets a few days ago when a user<br>
marks a changeset as good or bad.<br>
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/wille/diary/43101" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/<wbr>user/wille/diary/43101</a><br>
I would like to ask the author(s) of OSMCha to disable this feature.<br>
<br>
We expect to read all mappers incoming message (personal messages and<br>
changeset comments). If third-party tools start to post comments to lots<br>
of changesets automatically, this is some kind of spamming. If OSM sends<br>
to much emails to a user, the user will probably ignore them or treat<br>
them as spam.<br>
<br>
I think that OSMCha should not post a comment automatically except if<br>
the user has explicitly asked for feedback or there are quality issues<br>
regarding the edit (mistakes, vandalism, guideline violations or<br>
anything else which makes it necessary to talk to the user).<br>
<br>
I post this email to this mailing list instead of filing a bug report a<br>
Github [1] because I want to bring this problem to the wider audience<br>
and initiate a general discussion on the acceptable usage of the<br>
changeset comments API.<br>
<br>
What are your thoughts and opinions on this issue?<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
Michael<br>
<br>
<br>
[1] Btw, which Github repository would be the correct one the file the<br>
bug report at?<br>
