In the FB forum, most people have said that they favor a rule change to delete the extra points for replacing a cache, even with the permission of the CO.
I am in favor of this rule change, if the game admins can easily change the rule.
Thanks,

Me too!
I agree with this too, as there is still the cache rescue option. If a CO wants someone to maintain a cache, they can file a CR mission and the person who completes it gets 10 points. Currently, I believe that someone could “double dip” by replacing a cache on a cache rescue for 10 points, then claiming the 5 bonus points in LCG for replacing a cache.

Git ‘er done!
Now would be a good time to make a change.
The best sig is no sig.
I don’t see a down side to this. Theoretically, if a cache owner isn’t able to maintain their own stuff, they have the option to put it up for CR. And if the CO is out of the game, maybe its better for the cache to go away as well. Looking forward to what the new BOD has in store for us.
The views expressed here are that of myself only and do not necessarily represent that of the WGA board.

Here’s the problem with this: if a CO just quits the game, who is going to put them up for CR? We just lost 6 or so caches to archive within my 30 mile notification radius. The look like great caches, and I hated to see them archived, but the CO said they are no longer active. I guess I have LTF on the last one I linked to. No notice from the CO if he pulled the caches or just archived them. I don’t know if he was ever active on here to post a request for a CR either. Then what do we do? This has been my biggest concern about CRs in general. So many caches get archived, but if the CO isn’t on here, and doesn’t post any indication about the cache being pulled….then what do we do?
BTW, the cache I found was a very well disguised cache, with jumpy GPS at the location. I could probably find it again and would love to recycle it as one of my own – if it is still there. With the snow we have now though it would be almost impossible to find.

Why aren’t my links working like they should? 🙁

Sorry its a feature of the site 🙂 There is a tool that when it recognizes a GC code it auto makes it a link, sad thing is when you actually try to link it yourself it breaks.

Anyone can submit a CR mission for any cache. If it’s not your cache, be sure to explain why you think that a CR is needed in the notes section. Then it goes to the adminstrator(s) (just me right now).

I mentioned this on FB, but I’ll put it here, too. As administrator for the LCG and CR, I have several notifications set for archived caches, that cover almost all of the state. There are a couple gaps between areas, which are sparsely populated with caches. When I get a notification, I look at the cache page to determine whether or not I feel a CR is justified. If the CO archives the cache, I generally assume that they have removed the cache, unless they post something to indicate otherwise. I also look at recent logs. Numerous DNF’s usually indicate that the cache is no longer at GZ.

Depending upon the D/T though, several DNF’s don’t mean a whole lot these days. Especially for those cachers that are newer to the game. Just my 2 cents.
Oh, I agree. My post may have been over-simplified. I do take D/T and cacher experience into account. If there are several DNF’s by inexperienced cachers, I’d be more likely to believe that the cache may still be in place.
