I was wondering if Groundspeak could add a special feature to the
'Hide A Cache' form: A 'release at date and time?' option.
We will be having an event in my local
area, and it would be nice to release to the world any new caches that we
made for the event at an exact date and time (as the event cache starts).
I realize any new caches need to get approved, but if
we were to turn our caches in early and get approved early,
before the requested date, then either the cache maker could release it to
the world, or the cache could be released at an exact requested date and
time (so no one would have an advantage before our event cache date). I
would also like this feature for all my caches so I could tell everyone to
be looking at your web site at an exact date and time for any of my new
caches. Right now, other cachers keep constantly scanning the GeoCaching
web site all the time for any new caches that show up so they can be first to find.
You might event have a 'Release Status List' that shows only the name of the
cache (not its location) and its release time and approval status for
caches in the state (or local area). That way, others could look at this
list and know when a cache was approved and going to be released. That
way, they would only scan the web site after the release date and time for
any caches that catch their eye. Thank you for your time.
