Hi David,
it's not (anymore) about "treated a bit unfairly",
but to avoid futher issues like that.
The automatic reply has to be misunderstood (what Martin was referring
to Mon, 6 Mar 2017 17:37:52 +0100)
and will lead to "process problems" like the current (as long as the
promised check by the "moderator" doesn't take place).
I'm not really sure about which issue you talk in the 2nd part of your
message "not actual rules",
do you refer to my entry in the proposal about a "code of conduct" ?
Regarding the 3rd part ("tags in OSM") :
I wanted to have this tag harmonized,, but there was little to no
reaction on my proposal mail.
After the voting had taken place and more noticed the wiki entry,
there was at least a question about the definition of "yes",
which I appreciated :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:motorcycle_friendly
(while there were also some nit-picker questions as well in both, wiki
and proposal).
"own data, as an overlay" doesn't make sense to me in this case,
as it's data the community should collect, not the transformation of
existing data collections
("motorcycle friendly" web pages, as they are often randomly listing
hotels).
This is the motivation of this tag.
Didn't understand what you mean with "digest approach" ?
Cheers,
Thilo
