works fine here

buried? tsk tsk. Predates the guideline. It wouldn't get published under today's rules. in fact looks like it was quite acceptable http://web.archive.org/web/200011091427/http://www.geocaching.com/articles/making.asp

i agree, while it may not reach out to the whole community a thread here would reach out to some i didn't know either, until recently about their position right, my bad...fingers sometimes don't like to follow the instructions from the brain there is place for everything same as you have your strong opinions about things, so do i, and i feel i need to express them, more so since we have a right to do so perhaps what worries me seems petty to you i never asked for changes to be made to suit my needs, i've always come to the forums to ask for a logical explanation as to why things are done the way they are done unfortunately seems that those that have the answers, first opted for the "because i say so" and now are adopting a very unprofessional and biased attitude of ignoring any questions i post anyways, it looks like we're taking this thread off topic please do open a thread about Ontario Parks, i would be interested to learn more too

with so much concern about the issue i would suspect you opened a thread about it already, right? also please show me where does it say that my tax dollars entitles me to place caches within their boundaries this entity provides parks, trails and whatnot in exchange for our tax dollars i would love it if there were caches in there, but they are not obligated to allow it just because our tax dollars go to them how is your concern with Parks Canada and trying to change their rules any different than us here trying to get the rules to be applied consistently?

i'm sure there must be something for your taste here

Um, nope. I went to sign up for the event on the morning of the 4th and noticed it was disabled. At that time there were no other events of the same name. Later that same day, I checked the event listings again after this one was archived and saw the other one there. huh? what you mean nope? they all took place on December 4th original event disabled, maybe at 00:01 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=f506a279-64f9-437b-97d2-d834adcec840 as a result of the original event being disabled the CO of C&P event removes line and the event is published sometime during December 4th http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=96d67004-28b8-4a0c-99d5-b5f4cab7219a archival took place on December 5th http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=e228b3c5-297e-4368-8f3e-9241d98840b6 come on, its no brain surgery...a day has 24 hours perhaps is the reason why there are no time stamps on the logs

seriously? its just too obvious lol the second listing copied and pasted everything, including the "charity" part...CD reviews it and notices the line, points it out to the CO who in turn points out the original event....the original listing is disabled december 4, the other CO removes the line their event gets published december 4

and the mystery is solved busted because of a C&Per timeline makes a lot of sense now...C&P event gets published on December 4 and the Original Event gets disabled on December 4 The Original Event The C&P Event

so technically you are asking to replace the current "REGULAR" size with "MEDIUM", so the result will be that the caches between "medium" and "large" will vary makes no sense to me

Here's what makes me laugh. Back in the summer CacheViewer declined a cache listing because it promoted the virtues of the drive-thru window of a restaurant. Instead of simply accepting that and updating their listing, this whiner kicked and screamed like a child that they were being treated so unfairly then promptly went on their own personal vendetta. They collected over 50 listings and DEMANDED that the reviewers take IMMEDIATE action against those listings just to satisfy the ego and entitlement issues that so cripple their delicate self-confidence. As the logs went out they likely puffed up with pride knowing the swath of disablings were sending shock waves across the province. So while this whining child-like cacher sat veiled in secrecy, the reviewers took all the heat from the locals that were so frustrated. All of this just because some listing wasn't allowed to promote a local restaurant. So here's what I see. SOME cachers in Ontario simply cannot accept that things don't always go their way, but instead of being adult about it they would rather see everyone else suffer too. "I didn't get my way so I'm going to take it out on everyone else. And I'm going to do it behind everyone's back safe in my secret bunker where no one will ever know it was me." So from time to time things like this happen in Ontario, because when some cacher with entitlement issues gets turned down they sabotage a bunch of other cache listings... claiming it is to be fair, but never with the courage to be public about it. How does that make you feel "thebruce0"? Imagine that guy was reading or even posting in this same thread... Any special words for the person that flipped out and emailed me that list of 50+ caches demanding they be changed? I blame THAT guy for all of this nonsense that has happened this year. I blame the mentality that SOME people have, that they need to take others down all because they didn't get their way. Boo hoo! you did mention in the original thread that the whole fiasco was caused by one disgruntled cacher, but...since when do the reviewers give in to demands from cachers? i thought that's when they distance themselves from the situation and directed them to appeals i asked if they were directed to appelas in the original thread but nobody replied also, that would have been a good time to invoke the no precedence rule that keeps flying around every time someone brings up a similar older listing, and the majority of those listings that were disabled were older, mine at least were 2 years old to me, giving in to their demands was as bad as them making the demand so now you got one "happy camper" hiding somewhere behind a screen at the expense of dozens of others meanwhile in the announcement you made we are told not to bother gathering a list of similar caches because nothing will be done about it and you are surprised the reviewers were blamed? and with all due respect to the CacheViewer, he/she does seem to have an inclination towards interpreting everything as being commercial i find it amazing that people like this, the disgruntled cacher, are allowed to throw mud and start a "war", invoke the right to "privacy" thus cowardly remaining behind the scenes its a wonderful thing the society has created with the right to "privacy" we can live in comfort that we can do pretty much anything and be allowed to remain anonymus

does the Bomb Squad fall under law enforcement? Or you can blame Groundspeak for not dealing with it effectively. its a geocaching site not a photo storage site tbh i wouldn't blame them if they capped the number of pictures you can upload to a log

And you should capitalize your sentences. But I doubt that is gonna happen either. what the heck does that have to do with anything? what is this, grammar and punctuation class?

It's clearly not a simple statement of fact. It's a statement of opinion, since it's "in the CO's mind". When you submit a cache, what matters is not what's in your mind, it's what's in the reviewer's mind. When you appeal a refusal to publish, what matters is not what's in your mind, it's what's in Groundspeak's mind. wrong...its a matter of arbitrary interpretation by reviewers and GC nowhere in the guidelines is there such wording GC should put a big, red, bold note at the top of the Guidelines "the interpretation of this guidelines are at the discretion of GC and the reviewers, which may result in different outcomes on different parts of the world" guaranteed nobody will ever question any decision the Guidelines are there to guide me, i don't want to spend time creating a cache only to find out that my reviewer decided to put a different spin on some wording, totally different than a reviewer in Lapland, for example

not everyone frequents forums, no matter what they are... Just wondering. If you don't get what you want, does that mean you still want them to delete your account? an account is never deleted

i don't like it either, but you can blame those that use GC.com for photo storage instead of the many external sites

I'd use your tag and 'Exercising my right to disagree' !! Using GSAK is a far better way of organising your caches rather than just putting the downloaded PQ's on..... by all means, feel free i offered them a second option since Triple Crown made it sound like GSAK is the only option iPhones are very popular and embraced by most of the world, yet i chose an android LG phone its personal opinion with GSAK, i gave it an honest try, but its not intuitive to learn by any means, and believe me i am all for learning and embracing new technology, but GSAK is not one that tickled my fancy its kind of hard to explain my position, when i decide to give something a try i like the challenge of discovering the inner works of it but i loose interest when i keep hitting roadblocks and it becomes a "job" to learn it and when that happens i never look back, just how i am OMG I can't use GSAK I must be an idiot, is that it? i am willing to bet that people have used a GPS and have been managing just fine before GSAK came along FYI i had no trouble and i found it fun to get a PC running on Ubuntu on a long sleepless night, and no, not just from the CD, properly set up PC

Ok, that strikes me as very funny right now. my crystal ball is out for cleaning so i can't tell why you find that funny, but i'm glad i made you smile

this is not the right section to post this, nothing will be done about it Dr.House gave you the correct link in the other thread I wonder if this off-topic post might best be served as a feature request? While it's not my cup of tea, clearly there is a subset of players who enjoy the race for FTF and this request may benefit more than just Ontario. You may find the Geocaching.com feature request thread here.

no, we don't and it ain't going to work because the geocoins and TB's are mostly dropped just before the event and if they are "unique" they most likely are private collection items for discovery only how is the CO supposed to know what your definition of "unique" is? assuming you want to move the said unique coin, i don't supposed you want to drive 130kms just to discover a coin

Or those with the most favorite points. Not ironically, many that have the most favorite points ARE in the woods. to me that is what the original intention behind geocachng was, get out there, have a considerable hike, enjoy nature and the sights and find a cache urban caches are just an "emergency" supply during the winter months when days are short and there's a blizzard out there but you don't want to break your [insert number] days streak

get out of town! no, seriously, go hiking for caches on a different note, can you show me where does it say that the premium membership has anything to do with the quality of caches YOU choose to find? well unfortunately your are stuck with mostly less than desirable hides all the good stuff is out in the woods

I guess not. bare in mind that the reviewers don't necessarily read the forums

i agree with Team Pixos, shipping is not that expensive to Canada there are many items that no store carries them here and there's the mark up to deal with, take the TB for example, i've seen it as much as double the price Groundspeak sells it for plus tax why is European Union listed as a country?

personally i don't think changing the name makes a lot of sense now after so many years in any case would make way more sense to have the Help Center in the "learn" drop down menu rather than play

get out of town! no, seriously, go hiking for caches on a different note, can you show me where does it say that the premium membership has anything to do with the quality of caches YOU choose to find?
