I too have encountered at least one armchair mapper who (in my view)
incorrectly tagged large areas of Bodmin moor with this nonsense.
I changed this rubbish in the areas that I have directly surveyed, but
did not think that I should override another mapper who clearly had
spent a lot of effort in adjacent areas without consultation.

I first noticed this problem several months ago: I cannot remember
whether I tried to contact the mapper to ask what was happening.

I have had other instances of armchair mappers adding what I regard as
very dubious landuse tags to areas that I have extensively surveyed.
When I contacted one of the main offenders; I didn't get a very helpful
response.

Anyway, I suspect that this is a problem over large areas.
