TOPIC: Editing limits<\/a>

\nFrom: keithdtyler@gmail.com I’m going around my town, looking up places I know of, especially
\nfairly newly opened places, and updating them in Google Maps.<\/p>\n

But after every 5 edits or so, I get a message saying “You’ve edited
\ntoo much lately, come back later.”<\/p>\n

This is dumb. I’m actively trying to go around my town fixing places,
\nand I don’t see the point in doing 5 now, then having to wait an hour,
\ndo 5 more, wait another hour, 5 more, etc. I’ll just stop doing it,
\nbecause it’s not worth the insulting annoyance.<\/p>\n

Actually, I think it’s great. Google wants to prevent people from
\nabusing the system. They don’t know if what you are doing is true or
\nnot, so they limit the number of times you can do it.<\/p>\n

If you understand, that’s fine. If you want to be insulted by it,
\nthat’s fine too. But, then, how do you propose they prevent abuse?<\/p>\n

Nobody likes spam (unless it’s spiced ham, in which case I’m all for it),
\nbut we’re definitely not out to frustrate you and prevent you from using
\nthis feature, either. I’m making a note of your request. Thanks for your
\nfeedback, and thanks as always, NWT, for your insights!<\/p>\n
