Hello,
recently I have found myself cleaning up a number of duplicate Gas Stations dropped through the App by ‘trusted’ Wazers. Below is a screenshot of such causing an UR due to incorrect navigation.
I want to suggest that App-reported Gas Stations will ALWAYS have to be confirmed in WME and thus be not subject to the trusted status.

I would take this a step further and raise the standard for “trusted” Wazers for all places. To maybe 25 approved places. What is it now, like 3?
If I recall correctly it should be 10.
While I fully support your thought on raising the standard of required places to become trusted, for me gas stations should be considered as an exemption to the rule.
Down here in SoCal I would assume we have 99% of all gas stations properly set up and locked - assisted by the major gas stations import from Waze.
I doubt there is a need for having gas stations ‘go live’ immediately by trusted Wazers.
ANY new gas station should - alike cameras - be confirmed and properly set up in the Editor (including Brand, full business address and services).
