Six Things I Bet You Don’t Know About Trapster
Every day I shuffle through Trapster support emails and new forum posts helping users with technical problem, listening to new ideas/suggestions, and answering questions. The questions range from extremely technical to very simple. And here lies the root of this blog post. I’ve found that there are many Trapster secrets. Are they really secrets? Well, no. But through the support emails and forum posts, I’ve found that we haven’t communicated with our users some of the basic in-n-out’s of Trapster. So here are a few tidbits of information about Trapster I bet you didn’t know…
1. Aged Traps
These traps are translucent in color and ONLY apply to Police Often Hide Here traps. A trap becomes “aged” after there has been no activity on the trap for three weeks. You will see four different translucent levels. The POHH trap becomes more translucent with each week.
These traps become active again if a user votes positive on the trap or a user reports the same trap in the same location. When the latter happens the aged trap automatically turns active and the new trap that was reported in the same spot counting the users vote as positive).
Translucent Steps to Becoming an Aged Trap:
A. Trap was last voted < 1 week ago
B. Trap was last voted >= 1 week ago but < 2 weeks ago
C. Trap was last voted >= 2 weeks ago but < 3 weeks ago
D. Trap was last voted < 3 weeks ago (aged trap)
Trapster Moderator on CBC Radio

Just recently one of our very own Trapster moderators, Ken Murray, was on CBC Radio in Victoria, Canada. And guess what he was talking about? Trapster of course!
Mr. Murray, an auto parts delivery driver by day, always uses Trapster when working. He says he’s not a big speeder but Trapster keeps him check. Since Mr. Murray logs so many miles, he says its easy for his speed to creep up without notice. But when he hears the voice of Trapster warning him about an upcoming speed trap, he instantly checks his speed.
Here is the CBC radio clip of Ken Murray talking about Trapster:
