Events: additional tickbox "event needs push notification"
Requesting push notifications for events through the editors' community still doesn't work very well and is not rewarding.
Now contributors get a notification if their event was published by Waze staff but they get no notification about the event being reviewed at first. If Waze decided to not send a notification, the contributor doesn't get to know the reason, nor the information that the decision has been made!
When I enter major events I -as a local member- often know that they have a high impact on traffic in the near area.
I suggest adding a tickbox to clearly show that the submitter expects a push notification for the respective event to consider for Waze!

Maybe it would be even better to have three options (“please send a notification”, “please do not send a notification”, and neutral), essentially like with routing preferences. If a sports event leads to a closure of one residential road (affecting approximately 20 residents), there is no need to notify users in a 100 km radius. (Yes, this has happened before.)
