I can understand why you're saying this, but isn't education of remote
"fixers" that an alarm isn't necessarily an error the better option
here? If we can help them to think a little more, and interact with
local mappers a little more, then surely that's better for everyone in
the future? *
The aim of OSM isn't "no errors displayed by QA sites", it's "a map that
best reflects reality".
Cheers,
Andy
* as an aside I'd also suggest the same approach with new mappers - give
them a bit of time to get the hang of things, then after that try and
help them with issues that they might be having trouble with, rather
than just diving in and fixing stuff.
