Your point about no more notifications of invalidated tiles is quite thought provoking Blake. My first instinct would be to disagree because I like to know when my tiles get invalidated. It can happen that some reviewers ask for more mapping than the instructions (in particular important buildings vs all buildings). Any time the instructions are unclear it is getting worse. Some personal examples: http:// <http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/751#task/154>tasks.hotosm.org <http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/751#task/154>/project/751#task/154 <http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/751#task/154> http:// <http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/765#task/163>tasks.hotosm.org <http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/765#task/163>/project/765#task/163 <http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/765#task/163> http:// <http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/767#task/261>tasks.hotosm.org <http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/767#task/261>/project/767#task/261 <http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/767#task/261> http:// <http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/767#task/207>tasks.hotosm.org <http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/767#task/207>/project/767#task/207 <http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/767#task/207> Anyway any default behavior for notifications could be overridden by specific @-mentions from any comments/validation/invalidation. Notification for validated is positive feedback. Notification for invalidated is negative feedback, but comment is compulsory. Notification for invalidated with comment (automatic or @-mention) is constructive feedback.
