This is not a question which users are more valuable @mmd-osm. It is not either, or. The open mapping community should enable to map both experienced users and new users. I think we should value people who join the community and want to contribute to humanitarian organizations on the ground, as in this case. Blocking the new ones if they are not doing anything wrong, just using the powerful plugins that experienced mappers train them in, is not particularly welcoming.
