Thanks for reply! I reverted most of edits from user
who misused StreetComplete for edits not based
on a survey.

Not all due to edit conflicts - given that
it was guessing not a malicious damage I decided
to not bother with untangling them.

If someone spots edits done using StreetComplete
and not based on survey - please, at least request
in changeset comments to stop damage
(preferably also revert them).

Note: in very rare cases SC may have gigantic bounding boxes
with actual survey (no internet connection between making
edit and long-distance travel and next edit and upload),
ask in changeset comments if situation is unclear.
