They need a dead bug button!

If you are familiar with WAZE for driving, you know how users can “vote” to authenticate data.  GC really needs one to help control dead bugs.  If a bug is missing from a cache, finders would just need to click the “not here” button.  Too many “not here” votes and it goes into a missing status and is removed from the cache.   It would really help clean up the data!

I’m looking at caches with TB that have been missing for years..  Owners are long gone.

Good idea.  I was at a cache today that had all nine TB’s missing, most of them since 2011.

I posted it on the official GC forum.  Let’s see if it gets any traction..

It would be good to build in a 30+ day delay in marking a trackable as missing in case someone is slow to log their trackable finds.

And they could institute a “death penalty” for cachers who take tbs and coins and never move them again. Grrr!

Have a link to the GC post? Curious as to any conversation being made there on that. Sometimes I’ve gone out of my way to go to a cache with a bug in it without reading prior logs on the cache or bug to get there and find out people commented it missing 🙁

Same here. I do try and audit all the WGA SPS of caches to check for TBs every few months but haivng cachers log their DNF trackables helps a bunch.
