I thought that anonymous users were supposed to be blocked from reporting anything on the new version.
I know some on Centercode were complaining and asking for it to be restored... I hope it wasn't, for a number of reasons... I am also getting obscene comments on my road closures, and being anon or no-name, all I can do is report them, but that only gets those that send the comment while I am online.

I have someone in my area who spams the map every day with the same bogus pothole reports. I have their username, who do I report it to?

This is a good idea in principle, but it seems that in practice, there are a few users who are abusing the reporting feature, cluttering up the map with alerts for potholes that aren't there: alerts that never disappear, since 48 hours gives them plenty of time to thank themselves too. It weakens the alert feature by retaining alerts for nonexistent or inconsequential hazards. In my town, 20 new potholes are being reported by one user every day. I've also seen similar abuse in other nearby towns.
