Can't wait to see how things work. I just signed up for beta. Are you gathering photos for texture map? In that case, how can an user take pictures of building roofs? how do you make sure the user made models are of the correct proportion? What if I make my home ridiculously tall to stand out. Am I allowed to do graffiti in your world?

1. We don't gather photos, we give the sets of prepared textures to users, so they can customize this textures and apply it to the building. 2. We will pre-moderate building models. First time we will do it by ourselves, then active users will have a chance to become a moderator. 3. We don't actually like "tags" and don't want to add it to our map but if graffiti is really cool like Banksy's works, we will add it. :)
