==========================================================================When a user posts a Report and another user "thanks" them, the user posting the Report would receive some reasonable amount of points (2-3).
This would thus not allow a particular user to inflate their own point totals, but serve as a further incentive for users to report road issues that are relevant and valid.
Another benefit of this proposal - If the user posing the Report takes additional time to add pictures and/or comment this make for more informative Report - would be inclined to receivng more "thanks" due to higher quality and thus incentivize more informative Reports from community as a whole as users can see that high-quality Reporting equals greater recognition for contribution via points vs. simply submitting a Report with no helpful details.
Again, this prevents the issue of one trying to inflate their own points - the focus is on having users reward other users who post high quality Reports. Those thanking would then be encouraged themselves to go out and make their own high quality Reports.
This could be a very exciting feature and strengthen the quality of Reports community through a positive feedback loop. Please share your thoughts and hopefully this is something that could be vetted out further at Waze HQ (and one day implemented)! :)
