I share your experience. Typical maps.me edits are of low quality and 
frequently show a misuse of tags, certainly not following to our 
community standards.

I have a very low response rate on comments. Probaly one out of hundred 
responds. And I have not seen them going back to fix their edits ever.

I think OSM API should block edits until email address is confirmed.
And probably re-check the response to emails once a year or switch the 
account into read-only mode.
Participating in changeset discussions or using osm messaging could 
reset that counter as well.

Stephan
