I've noticed that if I report an incident such as an accident when someone else has already reported the incident that the accident icon will now show a number 2 on top of it to show that more than one person confirmed this incident. If however I thank that person's report of the accident, no number 2 appears and the fact that I can thank the report before I can even see the accident seems like less confirmation that reporting the incident myself as duplicate.

Am I not understanding the concept of thanking? I know next to the thank button is a not here button so it seems I can tell Waze that the incident is not longer occurring but it doesn't seem like thanking the incident confirms it.

Also does anyone know if you receive points for either thanking or marking an incident as not here as opposed to reporting the incident myself? I feel like thanking someone else's report should confirm it, but the window to thank it should be closer to the incident and last longer after the incident occurred. Potentially even points could be given for a thank that confirms an incident.

Thank you in advance.
