I just tried it myself on OSMCha: -I needed to log in again, and OSMCha now requests the permission to edit the map. -after log in I am presented with a pop up on the bottom right, stating that osmcha will now comment on changesets that I reviewed. I marked a changeset of an experienced mapper as good, and after that, the changeset comment appears on the changeset page, without further interaction from my side. I immediately felt obliged to apologize for the comment, because that was an experienced mapper. So I agree that the comments are too automatic. The reviewer should be presented with the choice to comment (or not) each time, and have the opportunity to change the message. Especially because this is one of the rare cases that go directly to the users email inbox! If this gets used a lot, mappers will be trained to ignore messages from OpenStreetMap. This being viewed as spam is a concern for me as well. Michael _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
