I’m in the process of having a cache reviewed where a WP is less than 528 feet away from the final of another cache. These two points however, are separated by a river, where the nearest crossing is about 3/4 of a mile away. Considering this, would it be acceptable to leave my cache as is, or should I move the WP in question? At current, my cache has been temp. disabled by a reviewer, and I just put a reviewer note in with this consideration. I seem to remember there were two caches separated by this very same river that came within about 200 feet of each other, but I know that I may have to throw that precedent away if need be.

Speaking as a former reviewer…..
Bringing your pending geocache issues into the public forums usually doesn’t help anything. As a matter of fact, it might actually further inflame the situation…. and the reviewer has the upper hand. My advice is to work privately with the reviewer.

Indeed you may have to. Past precedence doesn’t mean much when it comes to publishing new caches. Rules change. Situations change. The game itself changes.
You are allowed to appeal the reviewers decision. However, an appeal on proximity may not fair well as you go up the chain.
The path of least resistance (if you can) is to move yours.
Good luck on getting your new cache published!
03/20/2011 at 1:29 am #1945072The whole situation is resolved. What I should have done in the first place was put in the reviewer note that I knew about the proximity issue, but I didn’t. After I posted here, I put in a note explaining I knew I was about 300 feet from the other cache, but that they were separated by the river, and my cache was published just minutes ago.
Happy hunting from The Happy Hodag!
