When you say more trouble than it’s worth, do you mean for you or for people on the map? I wasn’t saying “you should do this”, I was going for “it might be neat if someone wrote software to do this”. I agree that doing it manually would be a pain in the ass, and would be somewhat spammy because people didn’t opt in for that when they added themselves.
I mean in general. Clicking a confirmation link might not seem much, but when you multiply by every person every month it is. I suspect it would be more work than just fixing problems as they are found, but I might be underestimating the amount of problems that will be found I guess.
Most importantly, I don’t want to risk people not participating because they don’t want to be spammed. An alternative solution to consider is redoing the map every year, but I still feel it’s unnecessary.
I agree, these aren’t good reasons not to try.
