Just today… we (professor & earth angel) had to visit one of our caches because Wis Kid disabled it after 11 logged no finds and one needs maintenance log. Turns out the cache was still there!!!!!! So I added an extra hint to the hint and left a “bigger” cache container and put the original in it. Enjoy! EA
One NM log might not get the cache disabled, but after 11 DNFs, it must have looked like it wasn’t there, and WisKid needed you to go check on it. Depending on what is said in a DNF and who has logged that, we’ll usually check on a cache after two or three DNFs, unless it’s a close one, in which case we’ll go check as soon as we can.
We agree with Sandlanders-WisKid did the right thing with this one. 11 DNF’s in a row is major red flag. We would check out a cache after 2 or 3 if it’s normally getting “Found” logs.
Thanks-we’ll check those out!

There is no approval process. You write the cache description, you post the cache. Done. I could see it causing some problems in the future, but we’ll just have to see.
The problem we’re concerned about is that one badly-placed cache could mushroom into some sort of “anti-caching backlash” that would be harmful to the sport. Also, since the proximity guideline is just a suggestion, this could lead to issues, as well. As glorkar says, we’ll see.

There is a Dodge commercial where a monkey pushes a detonator switch to blow out confetti. Recently it’s become an ‘invisible monkey.’ What’s up with that?
We don’t have a clue. We were thinking it was just us that didn’t get it.
Outstanding!!!!!
This gives us hope for our missing TB’s and coins!
So, we could hide a cache and publish info. about it on this new site. Will there be any guidelines, or could we hide it anywhere we want (on private property, in a dangerous place, in a place that will aggravate Homeland Security folks, etc.)? If there is no review of what gets published, that could open a whole can of worms that could be very harmful to the sport. A side note: what would motivate someone who’s been with Groundspeak for a long time, is happy with the site, and has a lot of finds to suddenly want to switch? Will it offer the same advanced features that premium members pay for now ($35/per year?).
Excellent!

We submitted “WRR 80 – County Highway E” for review today.
That was our method, too. It worked great for us.

Edit the attributes of one of your caches, the Field Puzzle icon is under conditions.
It’s the last one in the “Conditions” section-it looks like a little piece of a jigsaw puzzle.
We just had a situation with one of our caches where a finder, in attempting to retrieve the container, accidentally caused it to fall where it couldn’t be retrieved. We have to take responsibility for the placement, which could have been better, so we told them to go ahead and log the find. They definitely had their hand on the cache.

I think a certain “probationary” period before a cache can be nominated is in order…say, 6 monthes. This would give a cross section of cachers time to find a good cache to nominate.
Nominating the newest “Flavor of the Month” is not very accurate. If it’s THAT good, it will still be THAT good 6 monthes later, when more cachers have found it.
Limiting a COTM nomination to # of finders pretty much rules out Northern Wisconsin, where some of the most scenic caches are located!We would have to agree with JimandLinda. We seldom vote for COTM because we often are not familiar enough with the nominated caches to make a good choice. It seems voting for a cache because others liked it or because you know the owner aren’t good reasons.
