It should be optional to post a changeset comment. If someone marks all changesets in his home area as good, all changesets get a comment. If I get a comment on all my changesets, I will write a filter on my personal mail server to drop all these unsolicited emails (all comments with the OSMCha default text). I can write filters on my own but I am sure that many of our users are not able to do (or don't want to do and might reduce their OSM activity). Ideally, this comment should be localized. If a user uses the German locale of his editor, he should the receive the comment in German if the reviewer also uses a German locale (it is then very likely that they would use German for their normal conversation). Receiving lots of similar foreign-language comments is not far away from receiving ten emails whose subject is "Bitcoin Millions". That's why I consider it as some kind of spam (half of all recent comments are just automatically generated): http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussions?c=Germany#6/51.727/9.338 All in all, the usage of the changeset discussions by OSMCha just points out that a feature is missing on osm.org. This cannot be fully replaced by a third-party application. Best regards Michael -- Per E-Mail kommuniziere ich bevorzugt GPG-verschlüsselt.
