<p>Hi Michael and Christian,</p>
<p>I don't know if there's any other way than going through
imagemagick, if that's the only way, then sure it would cause
extra work on (y)our servers. if that's too much, let the server
manager measure and decide.<br>
</p>
<p>my approach was trying to find a solution to the problem raised
by Simon Poole, not to deface any web site relying on OSM. or we
would put the wrongdoing on our side.<br>
</p>
<p>but then, that was what just »I would probably do« … maybe after
half an hour spent on trying to do it this way, I would fall back
to Christian's way.</p>
<p>"whatever works"<br>
</p>
<p>btw, Christian, you are measuring the effects of your action, and
the timings. you started with 20 "abusers", you got immediate
effect on some, then you added the email address in the tile, and
got more results, how far are you now? and what further steps
does your team plan?<br>
</p>
<p>ciao,</p>
<p>Mario<br>

A transparent overlay requires calling Imagemagick or a similar tool for
each tile and to cache the results. It makes the setup more complicated
and requires more processing power. Should we spend even more volunteer
time and donations on abusers? No.
Best regards
