This would be their OSM username. There is no internal messaging system in MapRoulette, clicking the 'message' link would actually send you to the OSM message screen. > Is there even any quality control when people create new MapRoulette > tasks?

There is ample documentation on how to create challenges and best practices for doing so, but as with all things OSM, it is up to the community to maintain quality standards in mapping. I have reached out to the community before asking for volunteers to help monitor new challenges, there was no interest then, perhaps this is a good time to ask again? You can see the newest created challenges using https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges?sort=created, there is also an API call you can use. Drop me a line if you want some more guidance.
