Designed and built for Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team collaborative emergency/disaster mapping, the OSM Tasking Manager 2.0 divides an area into individual squares that can be rapidly mapped by thousands of volunteers.
This is the easiest for sure and a very good way in general to motivate people to do things. "thanking" someone should consist of clicking the 'Thank you' icon next to a person's username anywhere it appears throughout the Tasking Manager now.
We should track ty's and they are accumulated something along these lines:
validator thanks everyone who open and closed the task square when clicking the 'validate' button - 1 ty for the mappers
mapper thanks a validator for feedback - 2 ty for the validator
any user thanks another user in a comment each gets 1 ty
project manager thanks anyone other person gets 5 ty

I love to say thank you and I think people like to get them. I hope they do, they are sincere. And I think this mild sort of creative engagement might tap into those same sort of sincere thanks exchanges, which we need more of anyway :)
