I think we should look at those users not as organizational, or paid users, but as users that have too steep a curve of added nodes over time. An account registers, and immediately starts adding or modifying hundreds of nodes. That could either be an import, a very zealous early mapper, or someone who is paid by node. Either way, they should be controlled in some way.
Maybe put a limit on number of added nodes over time with some function that permits long-time mappers to add or modify as many nodes as they want, and limit new users. Of course, show them a link to where you can say what that account is doing, and get permission to add as many as you want even though you are a new user.
