Description

This task http://maproulette.org/ui/admin/form/379/Challenge/1481/task/381689 was flagged as false-positive for my challenge, so I investigated. The task appears in my challenge, but I didn't create it. It looks totally different than my tasks and is in an area that my tasks doesn't cover. Looks like some kind of database corruption that got this task from somebody else put into my challenge.
