I try very hard not to invalidate, but if the mapper pressed Done, where he or she should have pressed Unlock, I don't hesitate to do so. I do try to write encouraging remarks. I also try to show them how JOSM is a lot better adapted to getting actual work done. Usually be means of screencasts of what was involved in gettting their task validated.
It created a very positive feedback loop. At the moment I'm validating the Ugandan schools project though and there I'm happy to be the only one validating. I created a 'tool' to assist me with the chore, but it's all rather specific. Hard to get started on that project, as you have to create a separate account and whatnot. At some point, I'll probably get back to validating of the easy add building projects and cherry picking those tasks that were done by newly arriving mappers to guide them with their first steps into OSM mapping.
