Severin I like the ideas here. Essentially, we're talking about calculating and recording mappers reputation, and then incorporating into handling of validation. How did you contribute http://hdyc.neis-one.org/ is one example of reputation calculation. It's entirely automated. Your suggesting to

Hi Severin, Sounds like a nice approach. However the first two steps are unneeded - we can detect new users when they mark squares as done, not via changeset hashtags. In my experience newcomers often forget to tag changesets, so your approach would miss many of them - yet we already know their
