The Philippines is a SELF-MANAGED waze community.
This means that all editing related issues need to go thru the Pinoy waze community.
With the surge of new users (including editors), Barangay waze is now experiancing a high rate of map vandalism. This includes inadvertent edits of well intentioned individuals.
Intended or not, bottom line is the waze maps gets damaged and throws wazers into utter chaos.
To prevent this, the ranking and level locks were put in place.
no, they were NOT placed in the sytem for power tripping (as what some fools with overwhelming sense of entitlement out there percieve it to be).
Barangay waze is currently in the process of clamping down on level ups and editors who are not in contact with the Pinoy community (hermit/lone wolf editors) and are in contradiction of global & particularly the local editing conventions.
Patience is a virtue most admired by senior editors.
The prerequisites installed often weeds out those who edit just for points or just for fad.
For those who persevere, leveling up is more than just an achievement. It becomes an accomplishment!
Editing waze style is nowhere near other mapping styles (Google, OSM, Foursqaure, Wikimapia, Facebook et al)
Mind you, impatience only led Anakin to the dark side.
Nevertheless, the Pinoy waze community always welcome all those who wish to help and contribute and be part of the community to make a better waze experience for the general public. You are most welcome to join.
