<p>Agree with you, I don't really like this feature, mainly for two
reasons:</p>
<p>1) I see myself as a quite experienced mapper and I guess pretty
much 99% of my edits improved the map, I think it's nice to see
that someone double checks some of my edits using osmcha or
achavi, but I also think there's actually no need to add a comment
saying that my edit "looks great". I reckon it might be useful
when dealing with new mappers as adding a comment saying "you're
doing a great job, keep it up" might improve the new mapper's
motivation, but shelling my email address with emails from osm,
saying that someone added a comment (automatic and useless) to one
of my changeset does only annoy me. It's like clapping your hands
to the supermarket cashier every time he/she prints you the
receipt.</p>
<p>2) I've always been using the "changesets w/comments" line of the
HDYC page to double check suspicious mappers. Usually a mapper
with a ton of commented changesets was to consider suspicious,
from now on this osmcha feature is going to add a crazy amount of
positive/useless comments and then looking at the number of
changesets with comments of a mapper is not going to be useful
anymore. It also makes things more complex when trying to double
check a mapper which already saved hundreds of changesets.</p>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
OSMCha started posting comments to changesets a few days ago when a user
marks a changeset as good or bad.

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