Which leads us to need a tool with a white -list of trusted contributors and a mechanism to watch for edits by less-trusted people within a particular area. I would, for example be happy to monitor the East of England for rogue editors, but not the whole of the UK or Europe. For Wikipedia there is a product called Huggle that does this and maintains a white-list somehow (ie this is not an OSM or Wikipedia thing, it is definitely not a foundation thing, it is an independent tool) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Huggle/Whitelist We would someone to create some tools to monitor the minutely feed with edits from non-trusted contributors within an agreed area. Anyway, for now I recommend that we don't block him or he will start jumping around user-names which will make him harder to follow. Let's only block im when we have defences in place for what might be the next game!
