Worried about privacy:
Here the "driver" who probably is sitting on his/her couch at home, states in spanshi "Borrar casa", that means "Delete house".
Since it´s an user reported error, and someone will fix it for sure, I include a pic and a permalink so everyone can ignore where this fellow lives. :D

Poor soul considers it a general error when all is good.... ;)

Your assessment is most likely correct, couldn't pass up that comment though :)

I realize this topic is for some fun but want to give a shout out to tackdetack for handling that abusive user with professionalism, a standard that most of the community holds and should be promoted to the new editors.
As volunteers it is sometimes hard to refrain from lashing back but it is a great feeling to be a part of a respectful and professional community such as the waze editors.
Thank you tackdetack :D
PS Not sure I could have held the same restraint :?

Got a UR in Mexico (that is within my 2 miles of driving area through El Paso) of wrong driving directions. I guess one ways are just suggestions in Mexico since the user trace has the driver making the turn. :lol:

Well that's interesting. If I switch to Intl server that street is flagged as one-way the other direction despite the street-view one-way signs indicating that is wrong. What is also interesting is the number of El Paso streets being mapped out on the Intl server and now I switched back, the number of Juarez streets mapped out on the US/Canada server.

... not that I was going to do any editing over there, just was browsing and saw that UR and found it funny. I guess the user was on the US/Canada server when he submitted the UR somehow. /shrug. Must be a bit weird that close to the border.

Wonderful. Coming soon....

"Resolve 50 map problems" - +500 pts.

I'll think positive and believe they will actually take "resolve" to heart and not mark 50 reports as solved like some do...

I'd have filed a UR complaining that Waze didn't accurately predict the likelihood of a suicide attempt on that segment based on past occurrences and failed to route me around it before it happened ... then I would have given my paypal address and demanded money sent to me for my time wasted sitting there (I had one of those once...)
