How is that? West Harrisburg was created using ordinary editing tools over a matter of months. Certainly you're not proposing that new editors can't draw roads?
What is the story behind this West Harrisburg vandalism situation by the way?
"Didn't realize this map was supposed to be a real map. Just through[sic] some stuff in there. Thought it was a game or something. Come to find out it's more like Wikipedia."
Creating "badges" for a certain number of edits or other such grinding would, if anything, increase the amount of bogus editing as new editors try to get those badges, and would piss off new editors who know what they're doing (for example, soon after joining, I imported the complete NYC Subway system from a shapefile I had previously created by tracing USGS topos, and successfully merged the portions that had already been mapped).
