A bit of a moan, but I need some advice.

Currently https://openbenches.org allows *anyone* to upload a bench & photo without registration.

It has been mostly fine but yesterday an anonymous user added some stupid photos. Only the 4th time that's happened.

I wanted to restrict adding & editing to registered users. But today a GitHub user went in and deliberately vandalised one of the entries.

The users have been banned and the changes reverted.

Is there a realistic way to stop this?

OpenBenches Welcome!

@Edent Pretty impressive to have gone so long with minimal vandalism

@Edent (although looking over my contributions has reminded me of a nice walk along the river from Worcester that I'd forgotten about)

@Edent although would be nice if I could transfer the credit from my twitter account to masto/bluesky instead

@ignoredambience if you let me know your usernames, I'll manually merge them.

@Edent Thanks, not actually logged any since 2021, but the next bench I log will keep in mind
