In reverting, OSM looses the information that these new people made.
OSM also looses a potential new mapper, as I doubt they will return
following their attempted addition being removed.
There are large additions in some parts of the world being made from
commercial firms - eg petrol stations. These too are a form of 'spam'.
I have no problem with a firm adding their details to the map... spam?
Yes, it is a form of advertising... but they can only add facts .. no
flummery. So I am for it.
OSM also . On 10/05/18 10:11, Andrew Harvey wrote:
This is a global problem, happening in other regions too, just
unfortunate we're caught up in this as it's a real waste of time
dealing with it.
In a couple of recent ones they were trying to pan in iD but dragged
features instead by accident, breaking other features. I've reverted
these completely. Since they are done by an SEO who obviously has no
respect for OSM, let's not waste our time to try to filter out the
useful parts (if any!).
The ones which didn't damage other features, I've left in, but at the
same time have no issues with them simply being reverted when they
match all the hallmark signs of this kind of spam.

Just a heads up that there has been a rash of poor edits in the
past 24 hours or so with new editors listing their businesses but
in doing so many have accidentally shifted other mapped items or
added the wrong tags to their edits.
