New editors contact
Frequently, all we've found bad editions, make it by new and inexperienced editors.
In Spanish Community we send a PM to those editors, showing what they are making bad, inviting them to know the Wiki and forum or offering them our help.
Usually this editors don't know about the existence of Wiki neither forums and therefore never read our messages, continuing with his bad and useless work or leave to edit because never see his work in the maps.
I think would be an interesting tool if when we open WME, would appear a message advertising that they have a unread message, similar thing we have like a optional tool with "Toolbox" but, naturally new editors don't know it exist.

Some of us in the US have suggested that editors with a management role (Area Manager and above) be allowed to send a "blocking PM" -- an emergency Private Message that temporarily suspends an editor until it is read. Not responded to, just read. This would stop unresponsive editors from continuing to damage the map until they were at least aware of attempts to contact them. This would go a LONG way towards protecting the map. We made the suggestion two years ago I think.
