Sarah, my understanding is that MapRoulette does not support it -- I cannot upload the following:
For Object ID nnnn, change one set of tags for another -- accept or decline? Would be great if I was wrong. Yes, the community can do it, the question is - should it? Given 2 challenges, one that requires some thought, and the other that require clicking yes without thinking, shouldn't we opt to the one that computers cannot do? We seemed to assume that donated time is free, unlimited, and has very little value. I feel we should treat donated time as the most precious and most scarce resource we could get.
