Look at the leader board up to today... 100k points in a few days? How do you explain that without ET? I don't see how anyone can stay up that long, especially with the new editor :?:

I was referring to the All time top ten. However, on the weekly top 10, the highest one is 42,420. That's about 13,000 edits. At 1000 edits per hour, it's doable if someone has a lot of time on their hands. Most likely it was aided with ET.
You're right...I was looking at the leading score from the week before :oops:

If you do the math it comes to around 1.5 edits per every 5 seconds non stop for an hour. Seems highly unlikely unless you're a robot with a computer processor for a brain.....or using ET:smile:

How to get 97,000 points in one day

While I don't want to see ET go away, this makes a good case for doing so.

Hopefully the link works...this is the first I've tried this with tapatalk. If it doesn't, I'm sure you will find it in the forum.

Actually it is more like 1 edit per second for 5 minutes, and then 5 minutes off. I scan the area for (potential) problems, find some, take a deep breath and plunge for another 5 minutes. I take your reference to being a robot as a compliment and as an encouragement, but for now I still have to break every few minutes.

Can anyone explain me the benefits of putting a cityname on every street in a remote village, with no Wazetracks around? By enabling all roads in a village you are solving problems that do not even exist - remember, there where NO WAZETRACKS. Some day local editors will pop up and start editing. Using ET means robbing them of half the points. There is less chance that they will pick up editing. By leaving the raw basemap as it is, with all its quirks, unnecessary split roads, loose ends and whatever you burden those future local editors with more complexity then they can handle.

The current pointsystem does not discourage using ET in that bad manner and it does not encourage adding love to detail. It should be changed in such a way that you can not become CM if the only "technique" you learned is mass-editing with ET.

Sorry, there is no way you can do 1 edit per second 5 minutes straight without some sort of assistance....just not possible. You may dispute this if you want, but you won't convince me without proven data:smile:

It doesn't, at least in Firefox/Greasemonkey. :(

I agree, splitting/unsplitting should be difficult so that borderline roads don't get changed back and forth continually.

there is a new version (1.2.3), with plain road type, not only numbers, and some new features, but can't tell them all :)

Is there still a 'anglophone' branche of the script ?

[edit because of the jen's edit] : do am I writing such a bad english ? (of course, I'm joking :) )
