| 183379012 | I guess I must have forgotten to mention in the report that I already manually removed the remaining SEO spam tags for their changesets, so it seems I ended up wasting both of our times here without anything to show for it. Oh well--lesson learned for the future. |

| 168871006 | Thanks; unfortunately, this is not the first time I've seen online gambling promoted on OSM, especially in East and Southeast Asia. The methods may be modern, but the lure of a quick buck (or rupiah, in this case) is timeless. The sketchy online gambling operation is likely paying some low-budget SEO outfit to spam them on different websites--in just the past couple weeks around ~400+ SEO accounts with ~1000+ total changesets have been blocked on OSM (a backlog which I'm working through remediating at a rate of 20-40 accounts/50-100 changesets a day), and that's only the fraction of the total that actually gets detected. And the scale of these operations can be pretty huge--I've spotted others myself that turned out to be a ring of hundreds of accounts with thousands of changesets over the course of a few months, all by the same group. Thanks for doing your part and keeping an eye on changesets in your area, and happy mapping! |

| 169101557 | Yup, as you surmised the location of the node was already incorrect and then they inexplicably changed the details for this Fort Collins, CO location to those of the Amarillo, TX location. I reverted this, moved the point to the correct location per the (original) address and fixed other tags in changeset/183280371, and merged the relevant tags with the actual intended Amarillo Texas POI in changeset/183280328 |
|

|
| 169207547 | Thanks for actually responding to the bot and trying to fix this yourself. I removed the SEO spam image=* and description=* tags as well as redundant healthcare:speciality=* tagging (`psychotherapist` and `counselling` are primary `healthcare=*` tags that you are already using here, not listed specialties) in changeset/183278382 |
|
| 169292185 | Removed SEO spam image=* and fixed addr:housenumber=* and name=* in changeset/183278228 |
|
