[OSM-talk] SPAM notes in Brazil again

[Mateusz Konieczny]

To me https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/1230095#map=19/-22.97415/-43.33452
looks like a request to add unmapped restaurant (not spam) - why you closed it?

"2401429 is a mere copy of note 1230095"

In such notes note should and can be closed, I did this.

"Please block this IP" - note that IP blocks are not effective, it works only against dumb
spammers and affects also innocent people :(

> Some time ago I reported that several anonymous SPAM notes were being created in Brazil, through the "Report" option available in the note. Someone told me it was not SPAM, so I showed the amount of notes in sequence, so they blocked the IP of this account. But now they started creating several SPAM notes again, I reported again and the user @mavl told me that I should close the notes and not report them anymore, but the "report SPAM" tool exists for that, if not to report SPAM cases , then it should be removed from the selectable options. For example, note 2401429 is a mere copy of note 1230095, another example: note 2401510 merely copies the name of an existing element under it. All notes are sent in sequence, anonymously, copying from non-anonymous notes or existing elements. Please block this IP, it is getting in the way.
