New edits by one "busmiles" user in the UK

Hi all,

Just an update from our end and to answer some of the new posts.

We have now established a channel in our community chat where possible routing engine issues can be flagged so that users can discuss them there and whether it is suitable for an OSM edit, and if so what tagging should be amended. This should prevent the occurrences of ‘incompetent’ edits, and for full on vandalism we have been taking action on our end with those users.

Apart from the earlier example of vandalism which caused the creation of this thread, the other edits seem to be (new to OSM) users not understanding where the issue lies or the proper resolution, and we are hoping our new channel will help our community collaborate to establish the correct way forward for each issue instead of users trying to take matters into their own hands and causing problems.

I agree with others, please keep raising here if you spot any changesets that raise concern.

As always, feel free to reply to this thread or contact us directly if you have any questions or ideas and we will take them onboard.

Thanks,
The Busmiles Team
