A couple of weeks ago, Wikidmilk and myself created what we thought would be a very challenging cache in some very interesting areas – we called it The Marsh Master.
As soon as we submitted it for approval it was turned down and archived. At first I wondered why and asked but then realized that this is exactly what should happen. I knew one of the stops was very close to a sensitive area (250 feet it turns out) but there was no way for those who approve these to know where our final placement was without doing the cache. The prudent thing was done by archiving the cache and the burden was placed on us to provide the final waypoints and they were then plotted and mapped.
Guess it took Brian and Dustpuppy as much time to approve it as it did for us to place it.
Thanks for all the hard work and its great to know that you guys are protecting the areas that we need to have protected.As soon as we submitted it for approval it was turned down and archived.
Your cache was not turned down… There were concerns and questions that prevented it from getting an immediate approval. Once those were answered/resolved, the cache would be approved.
Please note that when a new cache you submit is archived by an admin, in no manner does that mean its permanent. An admin can un-archive a cache just as quickly as they archived it.
It is common practice to archive a cache to get that cache out of the ‘pending’ queue, while working on issues with it’s owner(s). Once everything is resolved, the cache is un-archived.
If it was a permanent archival, then the admin would not have bothered to ask you any questions and/or try and work with you to resolve issues.
Good luck with your new cache!
