Trapster Moderators Visit Chicago
Posted by Stefanie in Events, Trapster Life, Trapster Moderators on March 16th, 2011
Last week, I had the opportunity to bring three Trapster Moderators together at our headquarters in Chicago, IL. This was the first time I’d met any of our 500 Trapster mods face to face. I usually interact with the mods via skype, email, twitter, facebook, and our forums, so it was a delight to finally meet a few of them with a handshake and smile.
The premise for our meeting was to have them show our Chicago team how they moderate Trapster. The data and information we collected is being used to update and redesign our Trapster moderating tools. Very exciting stuff! Read the rest of this entry »

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)
