Third party node submission

We don't like this for several reasons:

• OSM mappers would not have a way to get in touch with people adding data; messages, changeset discussions etc. would all end up in your personal account.
• Some of your users might contribute copyrighted or otherwise problematic content, and it could become difficult to separate the good from the bad.
• You would gain undue influence on what your users map - e.g. because you design the software, you could make sure they only use tags you like and nobody could tell them.
• People contributing to OSM through your app might not even know that they are OSM contributors; they wouldn't be part of "our" community but of "yours".

It's not completely impossible and exceptions have been made in the past but don't bank on it. Rather, explore how you can use OAuth to let your users seamlessly log in with OSM and then your application can perform edits on their behalf.
