Big problem in Bamako with a user mapping with Maps.Me
Unviáu por UNGSC-DTLM-Ale_Zena el 4 December 2020 en EnglishYet another big issue with a user mapping with Maps.Me In Bamako (Mali) this user https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/seydoukone mapped 3000 POIs, all with the office=government tag. You can left comment to his/her changeset, but Maps.Me doesn’t implement any messaging system. So, what can we do? Erase all the POI is not a good idea, because the user add pharmacies, fuel, etc. The only way is make pressure on the Maps.Me developers I think

Maps.me doesn’t need to implement a messaging system, it is just another editor (just like JOSM, iD, Merkaartor, OsmAnd, etc.).
If a person edits OSM then it means that this person has an OSM-account and receives messages that anyone sends to her/his account.

@UNGSC-DTLM-Ale_Zena:
As Yury says, he/she should receive an email after getting a CS comment or personal message. That is independent of which editor software has been used.
If a mapper adds wrong data into the OSM database and does not reply to changeset comments after a little waiting time you can contact the DWG (Data Working Group) of the OSMF (osm.wiki/Data_working_group). They will then try to get in touch with the mapper and / or block the account if not successful.
In order to make possible reverts easier you should not change the applicable objects as that would lead to conflicts while reverting.
