Methods to Validate User Supplied Data
- by clifgray
I am working on a website where users record data from certain locations and they input an address to tag that location with a GPS coordinate. Pretty frequently those locations are tagged more than a mile away from the actual location and I am trying to implement a few ways to validate the data.
Right now I am thinkiing of:
having a tag of location pages for other users to say "incorrect location" so I can go one by one and fix it
letting users with a decent amount of experience (reputation) edit the location GPS coordinates
making the location be validated by a mod before it goes live and they make sure it is a good location
Are these reasonable? I know the first will take a lot of my time and I would love some suggestions.
