Post by JulioRamosCR
I'm just wonder if is possible to cheat on Waze??

Not cos´ I want to, but cos´ I´m working hard on doing driving, editing and all that and my points are almost the same, but others user have amazing numbers!!

Yeah, I've got a guy that 3-4 times a day, marks a cop, object in road, vehicle on the side of the road, and a traffic jam in front of his house. He does it in the morning, before and after lunch, and then when he gets home.

I've commented a few times, telling him to stop reporting non-existant items, but it does no good. Not much can be done about this.

As much as this doesn't help Waze, it's pretty interesting to see how airplanes travel on the runway of the airport. You can see how the planes come and go on the runway as well.

There is always someone who will do this, no matter what you try to implement.

Just keep working and you will know that you deserve your points because you worked to earn them :)

There's an employee at MSY who paves roads all over the Tarmac. He must be a baggage handler or something like that.

The main concern is the damage that can be done by cheating here. The senior editors are now spending more time scrutinizing the edits of newer users than we are editing.

Without special tools, it can be difficult to distinguish between an abuser and someone who has a lot of time on their hands and does a lot of editing. Sometimes it's pretty blatant and in that case, it gets handled by the Administrators pretty quickly.

I wouldn't be too concerned about a person getting too many points for reporting hazards. The number of points you get from them is insignificant and after you've reported a few in a short period of time, you don't get any more points for them. If the hazard is legitimate, it shouldn't be a problem.
