This dude, shmupi, came to question me: Why did you do that? with anger, like a policeman. I explained to him, in detail, with patience.
Then I asked: Why couldn’t I do that? unexpectedly, I didn’t get my answer, I did get my question deleted.
I didn’t spam, abuse, talk dirty, nor bully anyone, I was just asking my question, but I got my post deleted, silently.
What I learn is, I’m not allow to delete anything created by myself in Waze, but you guys can delete my post here as your wish.
But that’s alright, no biggie. I live behind the GFW, shit like this happens everyday here, I’m fully aware of what people are capable of online.
I’m just curious is this what you called community? is this what you said to make discussions public? to work together to achieve great goals? you guys are funny.
No, it was you and another guy (ktheyes). We admitted our mistake and asked you to let it go, and unlike the second guy, all you have done on the 5 pages of this thread is to start drama. You ask for respect, but you don’t offer it. As said above, once you edit something on the map, it belongs to Waze, which means it is not yours anymore. Your post was deleted because i posted that we would focus on the reason being of this thread, and it is getting the chinese community to grow. If you don’t believe that it can be achieved, then fine, don’t keep editing if you don’t want to.
Again, if you wanna join us in this adventure, help and post new ideas about this project, then you are welcome. Otherwise, PM the person who you need a question answered of, because this thread wasn’t started to have or expand any drama and it looks like you are the only one interested on that.
Let’s keep the thread on-topic. Based in the forum’s and Waze’s ToS: we are allowed to remove your post if we consider that it is not helping in any way to the topic’s aim.
Our maps are being built and updated by thousands of amazing users who make navigation possible worldwide with the most updated information.
Damaging the maps is certainly not what we are here for, millions of drivers rely on the connectivity of roads and we fully trust our editors to keep the maps safe and intact.
This will be my last comment on the city name changes since I already explained why it was important even when we knew it might damage some of the names.
China was full of spam city names such as:
“z”
“`”
“Gap”
“p”
“Казакевичево”
“Error”
"g"
These are all actual city names we cleaned from the map and there were thousands of them.
The cleanup was done with the help of a local Chinese speaking editor ericIsim.
The culture of Waze communities worldwide is what makes this thing special, this is how we work and it’s proving to be most efficient and resulting in truly magnificent things.
Thank you all, looking forward to start the project.
