This mapper just registered today. Even though he managed to 'destroy' some data during his first attempts at editing the map, I believe our first priority should be to welcome him in our midst. The second step is show him the light and explain what JOSM is and how it's far superior to iD, LOL.
If the data is terribly disrupted, it's relatively easy to revert the edit for really serious cases, especially when no further edits have occurred yet. Losing/alienating 'fresh mapper blood' is a much bigger problem. So it's important we're as constructive as possible. It's a community project and we desperately need that community to grow bigger.
