There comes a time when the WGA should step in and start to censor its forums. Starting from the actions of one cacher who promotes his “tours” (puzzles or any other)in these forums. There now have been 3 or 4 other cachers who have begun to archive/adopt many or all of their caches. I understand freedom of speech, but when it starts to ruin the sport by breaking “unwritten rules” maybe the WGA should not let these promotions of “tours” happen here. The forum for Looking For Someone To Cache With should be just that, not for setting up group tours. This should be taken to a outside blog page, private webpage, or some other private communications.
Posting it here and rubbing it in other members faces is not helping this matter. I’m glad that our Wisconsin Spirit Quest caches are scattered out over 6 counties in NE Wisconsin and others in the UP of Michigan and not centrally located so a tour would be possible.
In my opinion the WGA has let this go too far in our forums and now it is hurting the sport in general. This is a public forum but it still can be censored, look at the GC fourms, bring up the word pathtag or non trackable geocoin and see how fast your post disappears.
We are not in it for the numbers, with Val being partially handicapped we just enjoy the time we are out together and every find that we can get to together. I can count on one hand the times we have cached with others, and have enjoyed each one. but they were not tours, no one pointed the way, just the best parking coords.
