   @Wuzzy I'm not sure the negative of vandalism outweighs the positive of the thousands of people who've learned about OSM trough PoGo, and maybe started contributing constructively.

     I know this #news is slightly dated, but as a former #OpenStreetMap contributor, this is #infuritating.

     OpenStreetMap is awesome. But vandalism to get an unfair advantage in a game (#cheating) is not.

     But I also blame Pokémon Go; the game should have never trusted a source data blindly in the first place; if you know the Internet, you should have predicted this.
