-'''Limitations on earning
+'''
-editing points'''
-Another
-line of defense in protecting the map is a system that detects anomalies in
-number of edits per time frame and prevents accumulation of edit points for low-quality
-edits. Scripts used for editing many objects are allowed, but do not always result
-in the awarding of editing points.
-How it works
-Waze
-has many thresholds for different types of editing activity. Once a limit is
-reached, the next round of edits results in no additional points. The
-transaction is followed by a time frame during which edit points are not
-awarded.
-The
-system was put in place detects anomalies in number of edits per time frame and
-to prevent cheaters from unfairly accumulating points with excessive edits.
-Waze is aware of the value scripts have to the map and recognizes that many
-scripts are used for positive contributions to the map. Some scripts, however, cause
-specific harm with the goal to gain editing points. Point limits exist to allow
-excessive edits, but deter cheating.
-'''Types of editing limits'''
-Different
-limits exist for each object type (segments, MP, UR, places etc). Some limits are
-calculated on various time scales (from seconds to days). Other limits can be
-based on editing rank or editor role (e.g., area manager), number of changes
-made between saves or Waze’s map objectives. The exact numbers are internal and
-may change occasionally as needed (new scripts, etc).
-These
-limits are high and are unlikely to be reached while editing manually without
-using scripts.
-'''What will I see if I’ve
-reached the limit?'''
-Nothing.
-This is an internal process calculated by Waze and is invisible in the editor.
-Edits will go through, everything will look the same, but points will not be
-granted. If you reach one of these limits, it may take a few minutes to a few
-hours for the limit to be reset. The exact timeframe is internal and may change
-occasionally.
-'''Will this block me as an
-editor?'''
-Currently,
-Waze won't auto-block/lock users due to excessive edits. This may change in the
-future.
-You are encouraged to continue editing as rank can also be awarded through peer
-review.
-'''Cheating'''
-Waze
-defines cheating as behavior such as performing edits to the map that do not
-add value to unfairly move up in rank. The editing point limitation is one of many
-methods we use to identify these types of edits, when done on a massive scale. Some
-normal, legitimate behavior may trigger the editing point limitation and not be
-the result of cheating. The system currently does not differentiate between
-“good” and “bad” excessive editing behavior. Contributing to the map with the
-use of scripts and bulk editing is allowed, however, this may trigger the points
-limitation.
