Gonna add myself to this mark. Tonight is my first anniversary of using Waze and after a year:

It’s been a hell of a year! I’m particularly proud to have gone from nothing to being part of the UK self-management team.
I could not have done this without the help and support of all my fellow Wazers, not just here in the UK but across the world. I just hope I have managed to give back a fraction of the support and help I have received.

Your Ranking 81
Even though I have not been very active the last months, the amount of points per year has more or less been stable. Map updates have decreased a little bit, as have the alerts.
No surprise that the recorded km’s have stayed exactly the same. My country is 95% finished, my region about 99%. Existing km’s stay the same, around 25k kms. Solved UR’s and forum posts show my decreased activity.
Another thing that shows the completeness of our map: I munched cookies for less than 1 km this year.
Last: My rank keeps going down. I no longer spend 1-2 hours a day in the editor, and it shows…
Same here - less time spent editing and with all those new tasks and goodies (Forum, new Editor education, Chat in WME, etc.) the number of map updates decreases. But it still is fun and that’s the important part.

with little less time spent on waze, a bit more active on forum than in WME in comparision with last year, oscilating around rank of #200 most of the year…
april - we finaly agreed on AM self-management in Slovakia and with new segment-lock system I finally asked for L4 upgrade
july - meetup of local leaders wich lasted till late night, together with other local leaders (most active editors) we discussed and then made segment re-categorization of our capital and several other topics/editing rules
october - L4 area lock of few cities due to repetitive mistakes together with agreeing on exeptions for granting L4 to trusted editors. which resulted into having more than doubled number of L4s.
december - when I got Xmas present - promotion to L5 from our coordinator
2 years completed - time for the obligatory comment that you can get less than that for killing someone in some places.

As you can see, my editing pace has slowed down somewhat in the last year - mainly due to much more work involved in UK Self-Management and the editor community. But the UK map is also getting more mature - it’s rare to find any sections of untouched basemap now and most areas have at least seen the touch of an editor.
I’m now #7 in the thanks list with 1145 thanks. But that includes thanks on the closed forums, so that figure only shows for Global Champs (I think). When not logged into the forum, I’m #5 with 1047 thanks. As you can tell, I’m pretty active on the forums.
Number of times I’ve seriously considered giving it all up in the last year - at least 4. Pressure from outside Waze has been fairly intense in the last year, not to mention the pressure of all the things I’ve committed myself to within Waze. I miss the days when there was nothing I had to do, but could just do some editing when I felt like it.
Number of times I’ve changed my mind about quitting in the last year - at least 3. But you haven’t got rid of me yet. :lol:
3 Years!

Now #5 on the all-time thanks list with 2172 thanks (including on the closed forums). #26 all-time number of forum posts. As with last year, there’s less editing and more community work. I have been as high as #38 on the ROW all-time scoreboard, but I generally seem to be floating around #40.
I made a rough estimate of the amount of time I’ve spend on Waze in the last 3 years. If I turned that time into 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, I would now have worked for Waze full time for over a year - and that’s without taking any vacation time! :lol: I wonder what the average annual salary of a Waze employee is?
June - September - big summer competition for local Wazers (also forum post) - everyone with more than 10 Waze friends got original Waze sticker and top 3 got special surprise. more than 100 Wazers won the sticker. the best one had 105 friends on Waze. (and she is regular user, not local champ). congrats.

less map updates, significantly more URs solved - map in Slovakia is pretty mature, numbers of users are growing nicely, fine tuning is needed… the UR+MP Tracking script is amazing. many URs are related to setting correct speedlimits, what is also cause for high number of solved URs
4 Years!

Up to #4 on the all-time thanks list with 3469 thanks (including on the closed forums). Now #15 all-time number of forum posts. I’ve moved quite a way up the ROW all-time scoreboard to #19 and I passed 4M points a week or two ago.
Another new stat to quote is Map Problems closed. If 9666 seems a lot, it’s because we have acquired a feed for road closures in the last year and the vast majority of that number is from road closures.
I’ve also become a script author, with 185 installs of my script so far in just under 8 weeks. :mrgreen:
There’s still always too much to do, but I think I’ve been a bit less stressed about it this year. I don’t remember seriously considering quitting, but I have managed to take the occasional day off and I try & save up my frustration to give Waze staff hell at the meetups! :lol:

nice year with Waze, several very nice wazewins, bit more map updates compared to previous year (implementing speed limits). looking forward for the next year!
5 years with Waze - and it only took me 5 years to do it. :lol:

I’m now the second most-thanked forum user (including on the closed forums I can see) with 5333 thanks. Now #13 all-time number of forum posts with 7993 posts. I’ve managed another 4 places up the ROW all-time scoreboard. I was hoping to make 5M points, but it wasn’t to be.
I’ve had a bit less time for Waze this year due to my job. I’ve spent the last year visiting remote sites to install complete networks and a typical day sees me arrive home at 7-8pm with not much mental energy left. This is also reflected in the 35K kilometres I’ve added this year.
My script has 991 installs - just shy of 1000. It’s good to know I’m helping so many editors, although I’ve been a little remiss with updates lately.
The highlight/lowlight of my year came last October. I actually quit Waze completely through disillusionment. After over a month, I returned with a bang, posting this little message. I generally refer to it as my “rant” or “explosion”. I don’t think I really expected much to happen, but I was wrong.
Without doubt, this single post has had more effect on the entire Waze community and staff than anything else I have ever done. From the community side, 261 thanks makes it the most-thanked post ever, by a margin of over 100. From the staff side, it seems I sent a shockwave through Waze HQ. Staff communication has improved massively, as has their commitment to continue working on it. There’s still a way to go, but things are moving in the right direction. At meetups this year, staff have thanked me for what I said. Despite all the stats above, this is the contribution to Waze of which I am proudest.
