(Disclaimer: I've not done any work in the areas affected, haven't looked at the user's edits and so have no specific opinion on whether the user is in the wrong or not). If there is a user who (by general consensus) is making nonsense edits and is continuing to do so after having been taken to task by email, I would have thought the first thing to do is to ban the user from making edits before considering what to do about the edits they have already made. Bonus points for being able to display a message explaining *why* they've been banned when they next try to edit stuff, with details of who to contact to resolve the situation. If you just revert all the user's edits without doing something about the ongoing problem, you're just going to end up with a whole load of more edits that need reverting in the future. - Steve xmpp:st...@nexusuk.org sip:st...@nexusuk.org http://www.nexusuk.org/ Servatis a periculum, servatis a maleficum - Whisper, Evanescence _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
