I think that this is a load of waypoints turned into a track.

This type track makes an area unworkable when made public. The mess of gps
tracks conceals the more 'sensible' tracks, and thus should be strongly
discouraged from being uploaded (and make public).

Go to:
http://openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=52.2911315395146&lon=8.54396750234422&zoom=14
in potlatch and press 'g'

Is there any way to prevent particular GPS tracks being displayed in
potlatch? I know you can limit to your own with 'G' or edit just 1
specific track, but is there something in between all and one?

Once made 'permanently public', can the user/admins remove a track?
Simon.
