Hi, It seems someone edited the map in the area near to my town, but the things he added / modified are definitely not real. He drawn ways, added roundabout like things tagged as "construction" but there's no any construction at that place and most probably there will be no change, since it is not possible that way. I sent a message to him, but no response (yet, in the last two days). He made modification in a ~50km area, but obviously I cannot check all of those, however those can be false too. What should I do in this case? Should I simply correct the area I know, and ignore those which are far from me? Is there a way to rollback his changes? Can we defense against his further improper modifications? (Of course we can't, if he is malicious, he can register an account with an other name and continue his "work") So, what should I do next? /sza2 asked 05 Dec '12, 13:26  sza2 |
