Tenths of anonymous notes opened in a short timeframe is a signal that the reporter is doing something wrong, or that the reporter should start mapping.

In Italy, we do not have a PD source of street names. The government DB is called ANNCSU and is CC BY 4.0. So we have whole towns without street names.

The Italian community has recently discussed multiple cases where someone (presumably the same person) regularly covers towns with a lot of non-actionable anonymous notes, in a timeframe of a couple hours, declaring they copied from ANNCSU. So I thought to ask for a rate limit.

This is not just one episode, this happens regularly.

The anonymous person can always make an account and take the legal responsibility to import themselves.
