I am currently back in the USA. I do not normally read the forum and the email from raking in the cache telling me I had 24 hours to respond or be demoted was the first I heard of the proposed changes to the group. I sent a reply email to raking in the cache by way of the geocaching contact link.
The proposal above makes sense to me now that I found it here on the forum. A location still needs to be from one of the books or ebooks.
Since returning to the USA because of the Covid situation I have been trying to limit my screen time. I purchased two of the books when the catagory first started. I do not travel with the books since there are low weight limits on several airlines and in the last two years I have lived in or visited 41 counties.
I believe I am the only active officer in a few categories so I do understand the need to make changes at some point.
I have seen that Wayfrog has frequently approved submissions in some categories by the time I have seen the email notifications.
