The new rate limiting prevents participants to Missing Maps mapathons from saving buildings

But are we really interested in new users barging in and uploading 2500
edits? Is that a healthy approach for good and lasting contributions?
Even in a Mapathon situation, do we want to gamify the whole thing into
a “who maps most” competition? There’s enough overlapping, duplicated,
jarry-angled buildings in OSM as it is. What’s wrong with “you can only
add 100 buildings on your first day, so take your time and do them well”?
