I suppose if a mapper is ONLY using import data then they only need one account? 
As long as it is flagged as being an account with data based on a single import 
source? I know that it was identifying where data came from that initiated the 
use of a separate identified account for that data, so 'Marcussacapuces91' 
failing to identify that he IS importing data is still a problem in my eyes ... 
giving the local community some of their own autonomy should not allow them to 
rubber stamp changes that remove this simply courtesy to other mappers to 
identify 'importing' over 'mapping'?
