The problem is not with people that know what the conceptual trade-offs
are and if they so want could generate a more current map. That know
that they might be duplicating existing data and that will not be upset
when it promptly gets zapped. Try softening the experience for a well
meaning newbie of having the work you just did summarily removed right
after you entered it .

Now that might be rare if you are adding stuff in the middle of nowhere
where nobody is editing. But the people using maps.me are editing in
areas that can easily have 1000s of edits in a week if not 10'000s, they
are tourists in the busy centres of the world.
