We also see often newcomers starting to draw manually 2 or 3 building footprints from the aerial imagery (because they see nice ones in neighbourhoods) and stoping to contribute when they realize the effort it would imply. They simply don't realize that a building footprints repository "ready to be merged and maintained" exists somewhere... We know that we had some mass-importers not taking care about our recommendations but, as a responsible "local community", we have no possibility to restrain or block them (and we know that DWG is not reacting fast enough).
