[OSM-talk] Indiscrimate layering

[David Earl]

An anonymous user has being changing all bridges without layer tags to 
layer=1 in my area. I suspect this is a bot.

Because the continuity is better without changing layer along a road, 
for streams I often set the stream to layer=-1, and leave the layer 
alone and that is the case in many of these changes.

It looks like the change has been made blindly with no real reference to 
  what the bridge is doing.

Humph. I'm going to change a lot of them back, but if this procedure is 
run repeatedly this will be an edit war where I'm competing with an 
anonymous robot.

(If this is your work - please stop it.)
