Cheat!!

Postby Yulauz » Wed Jan 18, 2012 6:46 pm

I'm just wonder if is possible to cheat on Waze??

Not cos´ I want to, but cos´ I´m working hard on doing driving, editing and all that and my points are almost the same, but others user have amazing numbers!!

I suppose it depends on what you mean by cheat. I see user tracks all the time which have clearly been generated while sitting on a train. I see users report minor potholes etc (one regular user leaves a little trail behind them all the time.) there used to be users who would ping many times (fortunately that no longer gets points). As for editing I can see a large number of ways of cheating - marking URs fixed when not, repeatedly making unnecessary changes, etc. At the end of the day we have to rely on trust.

Don't get me wrong I think all of the above are cheating and if I had my way such users would be banned.

I've seen tracks that could only have been made from an airplane. Like these.

I 2-3 nights a week, 14-16 hours to edit. We work to editors around 100 steps, and save. Save do not look forward to doing again in a another window of about 100 construction. And so it turns doing it.
So I can do it for a week around 20,000 points. ;)

There is always someone who will do this, no matter what you try to implement.

Just keep working and you will know that you deserve your points because you worked to earn them :)
