User:CMoffroad/Corporate Vandalism

Background

Thailand and its small OpenStreetMap community have struggled for years dealing with remote companies/organizations low quality mass modifications.

use of hundreds of careless temporary paid workers
inconsistency across remote mappers
lack of quality control
overwhelming mass additions/modifications
lack of local knowledge about the features of the Thailand road network and landscapes (farm huts are not residential houses!)
conflicting own guidelines and highway classification methodology
changing classifications from local mappers
watching changes in areas and reverting them to fits their agenda
remote mappers not responding to changesets comments
exaggerating curves including at visible sharp intersections
low-quality road additions zigzagging thru visible intersections
adding residential roads everywhere in rural/farming/agricultural areas
empty promises things will be improved over the years
providing no tangible solutions and guarantees that concrete actions have been taken and problems will be improved/solved

most of the issues and efforts within the community relate to corporate vandalism, and so the community has lost focus and enthusiasm to work together as a community.
the local community spends considerable time fixing the issues above, and they only represent the tip of an iceberg.
the small community does not have resources to design stricter rules and monitor them and is tired and frustrated
mappers have left OSM (most likely many) and some even blamed the admins and community for the lack of actions taken to prevent corporate vandalism.

On April 8th 2022, a vote has taken place among the local community to decide whether mappers would:

(A) volunteer to design stricter rules and monitor them
(B) agree on a full ban of remote organizations/companies doing mass-modifications
(C) prefer to not change anything
