Re: [OSM-talk] Spam vs. Vandalism : Example and Future Procedure (Example from Israel)

There's a real jeep renal business here: in theory their headquarters is
mappable.
But Hebrew text is pure advertising copy (and it's used for both the key
and value... making it look like a spambot).

they made no effort to comply with the general conventions (tags in British 
English), to me this looks more like spam than a serious effort to get on the 
map ( if it is Jeep advertising (do not understand Hebrew))

A pull-request
 (by me)
is still open about reporting changesets/diaries entries/users on the OSM,
and a GSOC project
is
proposed for that matter.

OSM is not an advertisment tool. It is a geographical database. I'd say in
this case delete the node and associated relations, as it seems the mapper
have made no effort to try to enter relevant and standard information on
OSM.

But you're right there are some edits in grey-area, where the best course
of action is hard to determine.
