Hi, It seems a reasonable option, but we better make sure that users are aware they need to log in! For now judging from the patch I don't see any new messages, but I stand to be corrected. Another thing on top of my head - having commented/fixed many MAPS.ME notes, it seems that people using

Re: [OSM-talk] Anonymous comments on notes now disabled

Good afternoon, I think in future when there will be more space on servers it would be a good idea to add a possibility to attach an optional image to a note for the registered users. Nowadays a lot of people do have a good camera in their pockets. After the note is closed down the JPG file

Such portals are ours (OSM's) to manage as we see fit. "After two years of discussions" sounds like consensus. Defining something as "rarely useful" (then agreeing upon that) seems a helpful approach. Looks like a good call, Frederik. SteveA ___

I support this, I've even seen SEO services open notes just to have a "link back to their site" On Thu., Aug. 29, 2019, 5:49 p.m. Frederik Ramm, wrote: > Hi, > > after two years of discussing the pros and cons, a decision has now been > reached to disallow anonymous comments on notes. > > Up

Hi, after two years of discussing the pros and cons, a decision has now been reached to disallow anonymous comments on notes. Up until two days ago, anonymous (i.e. not logged-in) users could create notes and comment on existing notes; the only thing they could not do was close a note. Now,
