Me too.

I think Waze had planned to raise the bar to 200k, but either a) forgot or b) decided to manually promote a few people that were close. They also said that country-wide editing right wouldn't be given automatically any more, but that doesn't appear to be the case either.

I don't think it was ever automatic.

I got it at about 50k in response to a request for a *much* larger AM area, that was quite a while ago though.

I'd love to be a country wide editor. I'm quite often editing at the edge of my boundaries and get the no permissions error. Only 150,000 more edits. :roll:

I'm at 155k but I got to 100k just before they changed the level 4 to 200k. It's helped me keep a smaller area to manage URs, so giving me time to get some other areas at least workable.

Also mentioned at the Palo Alto meet up - at some time in the future Area Manager requests will be via pre-defined areas vs selecting an area and Permalinking it.

I got the impression of them intending to add an "AM grid" layer to WME to where you simply "checked" which grids you wanted and hit submit, which would then generate a canned request to whomever handles AM area changes. This would also deal with the CM border issues as we could simply fill in the gaps ourselves.

Unsurprisingly, the same permission errors are there in the new editor released today.

Fabulous.

Has anyone communicated this issue to support?

That reminds me: I had a problem with my editable areas being only visible between two longitudes. I wonder if they fixed yet. Must check later (not that it matters to me any more). [Edit: Yes!]

Yep, long time ago.
