[Tagging] How to tags webshops

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

for me, the most important thing is to ensure that people don't abuse
OSM as a business directory - in the sense of "come to xyz.shop for all
your xyz needs, we carry these products and accept these credit cards"
but without any physical presence. If it isn't something that you might
want to go to, then it doesn't have to be on a map, does it?

There have been situations in the past where a bona fide advertising
agency with proper offices (say, "ABC Internet Agency Ltd.") tried to
tag themselves as "name=cooldomain.com" in order to promote their online
presence of cooldomain.com; I changed that back to "name=ABC Internet
Agency Ltd." because that's what is on their door sign.

Provided that the fact that this is a company office is visible from the
outside. Otherwise, I would not tag it at all.
