Consider changing the effect of 'invalidating' a square #849

If it can be inferred that invalidating a square is causing new mappers to stop, consider if some other action can be taken.

Perhaps remove the message to the mapper involved, so that the square is released for additional work and anonymise the information as to who originally mapped it. But there may be other, more appropriate, actions which could be considered.

Perhaps this may involve changing the name tone. Instead of invalidating, something like needs more work.

Agree that the wording should be changed, "invalidated" may be interpreted as something very harsh, especially to someone new.

About this current issue: Feedback is important, and traceability too. Therefore I disagree about no message to the original mapper and anonymisation.

Regarding the further comments I agree and do think changing the tone/wording is appropriate, e.g. for some consideration on wording, see #484 where one wording/design proposal (among others) is 'Stop and mark as complete' for the mapper then for the validator/reviewer:

See in the same issue the associated mockup https://github.com/hotosm/osm-tasking-manager2/issues/484#issuecomment-66981760 for full workflow.
