| 178429499 | > The osm-revert has some problems. Just FYI, I've previously had it not work due to the overpass-api.de server that is unfortunately used by default most places being extremely overloaded and underresourced to the point of being almost unusuable; using another Overpass server e.g. https://maps.mail.ru/osm/tools/overpass/api/interpreter with more resources and much less load has worked like a charm for me. |

| 179651156 | > I designed the bot with the goal of not reverting an entire changeset, but instead trying to keep any "good" tags from a changeset. However, doing a full revert would definitely be much simpler for such spammy edits ... 🙂 Yeah, that definitely makes sense especially for a bot like this that doesn't require human effort. That was also the approach I've taken in the past with SEO spam changesets, trying to manually preserve what I could and fix or remove what I couldn't. On the other hand, on the advice of the DWG members I've worked with lately helping deal with hundreds of SEO spam changesets/accounts I've also done more full reverts in situations where the SEO spam was more egregious, complex, or there wasn't much of value to preserve (like in this case, where it was just a node with no top-level tags and just a name and website), and to avoid rewarding SEO spammers by doing what they should be doing for them. |

| 179243590 | Awww, you're too kind, but you're most welcome Pascal! Your fantastic tools really help motivate me (and surely thousands of other mappers) to keep mapping as well, especially HDYC! Speaking of which, your own kind words gave me the motivation to finally get around to typing up and sending you (via OSM user message) that feedback on HDYC that I messaged you about on Insta, both the original two inter-related issues and a few others I'd found. Cheers! |
