Dear everyone, This is a thorny issue bit will ask anyway. ;)
Not very often, but we do encounter questionable contributions. Normally, local mappers would contact the specific contributor to explain and provide guidance. But in some cases, these messages were ignored and the contributor continues to do questionable edits. There is a DWG [0] to resolve such issue. We do understand that DWG members are volunteers like most of us and local issues might not get attention immediately. I would like to discuss the possibility for our local chapter/community to form our own sort of DWG where we can address local concerns/disputes. We have a few active and trusted volunteers who can discuss and resolve such issues. But in rare occasions we think we should have the rights to do "temporary blocks" within our local areas.
