Alex, StopForumSpam was very unstable for around 2 hours today because of the Verizon BGP issue. You also share all your customer data with Cloudflare. You are clearly passionate, why not focus time on improving things there.

To correct a few items:

• I cannot see any diary entries on the first few pages with spam. The sysadmin team are successfully mitigating spam via non user-privacy invading methods. We are not sending user details (IP etc) to https://www.stopforumspam.com/ or similar sites. It is my understand that Alex is involved with the running of stopforumspam.com and he is very aggressively promoting the service with us. Have the sysadmin team solved the spam? Nope, it will require on-going remediation. If the spam problems grows out of hands, we may to consider using 3rd party services. (Pending privacy policy update)

• SEO wrong. Even the latest diary entry page are in Google Search results.We receive 1,000s of requests an hour from Googlebot and other search bots. We do not wildly deny content from being index.

• Alex appears to have misconstrued what we said about the piwiki. Alex contacting our hosting company to complain about piwiki is not a cool move on his part. We are reliant on the generosity of the institutions which provide us with hosting.

@alexkemp I have emailed you and cc’ed the DWG. Please read the email.

To be clear, “Unilaterally actions” by TomH… he has been the lead developer and primary sysadmin for over 10 years of the project. It is well within his domain to make these sorts of changes (they are all public and immediately reported via IRC to reset of the team). Like him, the operations team all have a best intentions in keeping the project up & running and running reliably. If there was a simple way to deal with the low level spam issue, while ensuring the extremely high bar of user privacy we maintain, we’d have done it already.

What spam?

Please refrain from perpetually insulting our voluntee admin team, of which I am a part.

Awesome! Happy mapping.

PS: Nice work all ;-)

The issue has been fixed. As above it was the failure to load the TTC font files which caused the issue. A force re-render will be run on the next stylesheet update.

You also forgot “Penderel’s Oak” ;-)

Awesome work!

Java 7 should work without issue.

+1 Would love to see.

Sounds awesome! Hope you had a great trip.

It is most likely agricultural of some sort. At a guess each circle is land cleared to tend to a single plant… Cassava or other tuber.

To confirm, the fix went live on OpenStreetMap late Friday: http://git.openstreetmap.org/rails.git/commit/3f6d40c092706f87e3161c93c5e370c5b937ae47

The problem has now been fixed. Please refresh.

All site visitors were being presented using the same IP address due to a change at hosting ISP. A spammer was blocked and everyone was blocked due to the IP address conflict.

Awesome. Bring it on.
