Hi Clay,
Not a direct answer to your question, a little bit the opposite
actually. I am a new user of the mapping tools (both Potlatch and JOSM)
and I have done a (significant) mistake in the beginning (at least that
I know off :-) ). Another user got in touch with a very courteous email
and pointed out my error and how to rectify it. I answered with a thanks
and a promise that I will be good in the future :-)
I just want to say that I am very grateful for that email and it's
something I would have not noticed for a long time otherwise. Sometime
when I change stuff on OSM I worry I might ruin some other stuff which
I'm not aware off - and really hope that somebody will get in touch and
let me know if that is the case.
So not really an answer, but just a note to say thanks to those who take
the time to double check other people's work and let them know when it
can be improved.

I've come across a particular new user who is making a lot of common
newbie errors. The first thing I did was send them a friendly message,
in which I pointed them to the wiki and the mailing lists, and also
pointed out (politely) a few mistakes they made and how to fix them (and
that I would fix the mistakes for them).
A few days pass. No response; subject makes a few more changesets.
I notice another common newbie error in the new changesets, and I sent
them another (polite) message pointing them out. Again, no response, and
a few more changesets.
I'm getting tired of cleaning up after everything this person does and
getting ignored. How should I go about dealing with this? Is there
anyone I can report them to that can deal with them better? I don't want
to have them temporarily banned or anything. I wish there were a way to
put a giant flashing banner above the map that says "CHECK YOUR INBOX
CHECK YOUR INBOX CHECK YOUR INBOX" for a targeted user but I'm pretty
sure that functionality doesn't exist yet.
