Thanks for doing this Steve. However, is there a way to report script kiddies who are running a script to just rack up points that aren't doing anything to help out OSM and just want to win the prize? Should I just report them to the DWG, especially since he hasn't talked to talk-us about running the script? The reason I'm asking is because I've already spotted one of these type of users who is just running a script that is just changing tags from one to another type to rack up the edits. Heck, he's also somehow editing some nodes just to make them his without doing anything to them (no idea how he's doing that!).

For three years, Telenav has been dedicated to helping the community through map updates. Today, we’ve kicked off a contest to see if we can help drive even more edits over the next 30 days. Anyone can win and it’s pretty easy to enter. All you need to do is sign up here to register for the contest and make as many quality edits as you can by the end of March 10th! We’re asking that editors focus on the U.S. and to make edits either through OpenStreetMap.org or Battle Grid. We have created a point system for edits and the person with the most points between now and March 10 will win either an iPad Mini or a Samsung Galaxy Note (your choice!). Good luck and happy editing! Steve _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
