I understand your frustration. It is maddening when an outsider edits the
map in your local area when they don't have an appreciation for the local
way of life.
Could you provide some example change sets? Perhaps some of the rest of us
can take a look and provide some comments that might help.
Are they really systematically only undoing your edits, or are they
systematically going after a certain data characteristic?

You could revert their edits, but given the circumstances as you have
described them, that is likely to only fuel the edit war. If efforts to
resolve the issue through discussion are unsuccessful perhaps this is an
issue for the Data Working Group (DWG)?
