If you think it's vandalism or spam you'll have to contact the DWG (Data Working Group) here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Data_working_group#Contacts_in_case_of_problems . They will look into the behavior and can decide to block users or revert edits. But in regard to some of the changesets, e.g. this one: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/118310523, how is adding a power pole there (if there is one) spam? I would think this is relevant information, esp. for e.g. blind people a power pole is an obstacle on a sidewalk. 1
At least some of the barrier nodes mapped in that area, such as this barrier=entrance node which isn't connected to anything, or this random barrier=yes node, are almost certainly errors.

You are right, it seems a hit and miss - some useful, others not. Anyone familiar with that app?
