Blocked from reporting hazards

Hi, I have been blocked from reporting hazards. I can’t recall the exact wording of the pop up message, but it did mention that it may be due to the number of reports made.

There was a lot that happened on a stretch of the Western Freeway (Melbourne to Ballarat) - stopped cars and construction.

I was making reports of these legit hazards until my account was blocked.

Please help?

I believe that is not a permanent block - it happened to me once - just a safeguard I imagine - give it 24 hours and you should be right.

I just checked your account, and there are no big nasty blocks in effect. It is as Scoota said above. It is used to discourage spammers.

I’d encourage you to pick the most relevant hazard you see and just report the one. When multiple hazards are reported clsoe together, Waze only announces the first one anyway. There needs to be about 300m between hazards before Waze will pop up a notification again anyway. :slight_smile:

Stay safe!

Yep, happens to me frequently if too many reports are made within a short space of time. The message says you have been blocked (and makes it sound bad) but it is definitely only temporary :slight_smile:
