Waze forum

If that was somehow automatically created off of Google maps, there wouldn't have been any opportunity to get that many points. But if that IS the case, point it out to Waze and they'll cut access very quickly as its a major copyright violation and they'll be very fast to protect themselves from that sort of thing.

Sorry. Reread my Edited post because tapatalk cut half of it off.

Why?

Guess it's sort of like the desire to know how to drive a Model T Ford.

Next time you see these, report them to your nearest Champ. Don't delete them.

This is why it's important that you report these, rather than delete them. I tried replying to Alan's earlier post about test segments, but Tapatalk put it into the wrong forum, but I'm specifically referring to long straight red lines that look like they were paved from an airplane. I don't think there are going to be any test segments like this. If there's a username attached to that kind of thing, it needs to be turned over to the Champs so we can run a scan for more activity from that user, and if necessary, it can be reported to the Administrators.

CMs likely even get robbed from scoring from unlock & relocks, due to editing the same segments in short succession.
Talk about an unappreciated job

There is now a user on the Australian Waze users register, "reklama1", who has somehow racked up 161,000 points in only a couple of days. Have no idea what they are getting up to though, but I reckon it's not genuine.

I think that is the bottom-line problem. I don't think that any of the active participants around here care too much about points and rankings, but it's the activities of those who seem to care about those that can really wreak havoc.

Careful. Some of us have Facebook accounts because we have kids.

That's huge, but possible if you mass edit all day.
