Some like to think there is 2 types of importing, implopping is where
people blindly upload data without checking what they are importing or
what already exists,

...which is unacceptable in any area or type of data for which there may be existing data in OSM. A good example was the import of the EPA superfund data, which was poorly geo-referenced, not discussed with other users, woefully incomplete (for some unknown reason), and duplicative of existing data. It was eventually reverted.
