I guess one can loose one's 'established > user' credentials by partaking in vandalism. I don't think the number of edits is a good indicator of beeing established. How about the time beeing an OSM member? Half a year (maybe with activity every month) would be better, I think.

Our cool-tool could allow this as well. I'm thinking of a list of all changes with the option to choose an action (revert, keep, revert tag(s), revert position, ...) So you could mark those things that should stay as "ignore", leave the rest as "revert" and let the tool do the work.
