Strava flagging

Hello Strava community, and especially strava employees:There are a few segments I "keep tidy", meaning I flag obvious motorized assistance.  Sometimes I wonder why... but recall that strava is community moderated, so I try.They are obvious - the hill climb holder is a former world tour pro who set the KOM when he was in the world tour.  Then there's 2-3x the speed and totally unrealistic VAM's of people with their tracking on in vehicles.  This is against strava's stated rules.Strava used to allow 10 per day of these flagging, so I'd do 10 per day when work was slow.  Now for 3 days and counting my account is prevented from flagging.1.  When did the quantity per day change?2. Has strava permanently flagged my account, for doing what is the intended purpose of community self regulation, on entirely legitimate basis of rides?

Flagging rides as a non premium member

Curious as to why a non premium member can only “create” a flag but nothing happens to the rider in question. We have a couple of strava trolls in our region that record their rides as normal bikes but are obviously on e bikes. The useless strava algorithm does nothing to them. Tried to take the diplomatic approach but they continued to do what they do. So I started flagging their rides. This led them to blocking me and continuing to record as regular bikes on e bikes. So I couldn’t flag their rides anymore. Others have tried to flag their rides but they are not premium subscribers. All that happens is a message pops up that says your flag has been created. And the ride stands. Pretty much all of our climbing segments are now irrelevant. Thanks strava!

Golf Round uploaded minus the activity map

I played a round of Golf yesterday whilst wearing my Garmin S62 watch. Previously the activity uploaded to Strava which included a map of the activity i.e walking route taken. However recently the activity map is not uploading to Strava whilst the basic details are.

Why are Heat Maps Activity Specific?

Heat maps are so great but I feel like making them activity specific takes a huge amount of value out of them. Especially when they are split up between trivial differences like Run and Trail Run (or even Hike for that matter). Does anyone know why this decision was made? Any word of just One Heat Map™ on the horizon?

Share image now being cropped to 16:9 portrait

Up until recently, when I shared a run, the image with stats would retain its aspect ratio. This seems to be no longer the case (in the last week).For example, here is my latest run, ready to share; However, when I post or even save the image, it is cropped to the portrait aspect ratio. This has only happened recently, as I have been sharing in the same way every time. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Strava Accuracy Compared to Other GPS Devices

I am puzzled that Strava on my IPhone 14Pro or Samsung S20+ 5G always records longer distances and different elevation to my other devices. I have attached two printouts from GPSSee which superimposes the tracks. The Samsung/iPhone Strava tracks are always the longest with about ten per cent added to a track of about 16km.. The other devices are WorkOutDoors on an Apple Watch, Bad Elf GPS Pro, Garmin Fenix 7X Pro Solar and a Dual XGPS160. Why is this happening as ChatGPT does not have a solution? Thanks.

How to keep a Strava segment updated if the trail line changes?

On my local hill, the MTB trails have been maintained and upgraded over the years, i.e. got their lines slightly changed and features added. Hence, the existing Strava segments and leaderboards aren't relevant anymore because the trails are now different, often longer. How should one go about this? Add new segments on top of the existing ones? Will this make a mess? How could the old segments be removed (not sure I can find their creators and make them do it)? Many thanks!

Route Editing does not work w/ "Error: Sorry, we couldn’t complete that action. Please try plotting the point again."

I’m trying to edit a new route and most (but not all) actions I try result in: “Error: Sorry, we couldn’t complete that action. Please try plotting the point again. This can occur when routing across large distances, so try plotting more frequent waypoints that are closer together.” I’m only creating or dragging points a few blocks apart. This also happens when I try to delete a waypoint. The entire route is only 1-2 miles long. Looks like an API error, but status.strava.com says all is operational. Again, this is sporadic, but not a result of 100% of my actions. edit: every action seems to be trying to calculate the resulting action from a point WAY far away. I’m in Oakland and editing a route in SF, but the calculation point is far to the west beyond both (see attachment). I even started a new route since the initial report, and this started in halfway through. Very frustrating to have basic route creating be this broken. edit 2: the route had placed a finish point somewhere near Buf

Is there a limit to how many clubs you can create?

We have a challenge at work where people compete in teams of 5. We have 100 people who has signed up, so we need to create 20 different teams. But when I came to create the 11th club, I got the error on my phone and online on PC:“Something went wrong. Looks like this isn’t working. Please try again later” I can’t find any documentation that there will be a limit/max of how many clubs I can create. Any that have similar experience or am I just experiencing a bug?
