I suspect that the problem is that people think they can play a bit, then get a "Do you wish to save your changes?", and be able to press no. ~ So I guess Potlatch may need a splash screen that makes it's "all changes are saved straight away" philosophy clearer to new users. Personally I think the play mode is very confusing. Now that we have http://main.dev.openstreetmap.org/, it's arguably not necessary. We should just direct new people to have a play there.
