Have you been receiving unsolicited messages in your #OpenStreetMap inbox?
Well, it seems like this feature has been quietly introduced recently: "mute this user" link is now available for every @openstreetmap user page.
I didn't know I had an OpenStreetMap inbox...
@MapAmore @openstreetmap I haven't seen unsolicited messages recently, but from time to time over the last decade spammers would take out an OSM account, drop a load of spam messages then vanish. If they didn't go away on their own, contributor complaints would usually result in their banning within a day or two. I suspect the new feature is more aimed at the periodic flame/edit wars that can break out in any crowdsourced community, of which OSM is sadly not immune.
I've been receiving unsolicited messages in every inbox I've ever had.
