I honestly don't know whether this user is spamming, but it looks suspect. https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/4LikeEver/edits It raised the question for me, of whether there is a process for marking users or changesets that are suspect. Can't remember seeing a button/link anywhere - something to consider? asked 04 Nov '11, 02:20  woowoowoo |

As for 4LikeEver's spammer-status, it's hard to tell indeed. Looks like a spammer sending usefull content (http://xkcd.com/810/) ? Couldn't find any of those shops on streetview yet, but that could be a false negative. Maybe need someone to check on site ? :/ And to contact that user, anyway.. answered 04 Nov '11, 10:50  Vincent de P... ♦ |
Well usually it will be a fast discussion on mail or chat what admins gonna do with the spammeraccount. if the changeset broke something important and does not got a good discription I usually just revert them. Then I write a kind mail to the user: What he did wrong, why this is wrong and ask for adding any changes which not belong to the wrong edit again. answered 04 Nov '11, 09:33  Bürste |
Well, unless the information is inaccurate...

Looks like he is adding shops and including some advertizing for them. The benefit might be doubtful, who ever reads descriptions of changesets anyway, outside osm I mean?
