  1. Log your DNF's and post NM's and NA's accordingly. It's all a player can do. I have really got discouraged because the game has changed so much.
  2. Looks like the days of a community volunteer doing a clean sweep of their review area are long gone. What a joke the health score is if it's not used. I'm seeing abandoned caches flagged with NA being ignored by the volunteers, things have really got bad. I know geocaching is in a decline, but what can players do?
  3. I did not intend for it to be funny, and GSAK is NOT part of Groundspeak. If the company offered a filter by cache owner and made it a Premium feature, I would renew my PM today. Give me something I can use and support this site, not a 3rd party service.
  4. I thought GC5AA1H was a drone cache? I have it on my watch list, but my PM has expired and I can no longer view it.
  5. That only works for those that use GSAK.
  6. I would post a NA and alert the reviewer while I wait on GS to reinstate my log. Normally in my experience they take about 3 days. Do you have proof that you signed the log?
  7. Sorry, I misunderstood your question. I do agree that a ignore caches by owner would be a great feature, and often requested here.
  8. I believe that most of us that are also letterboxers like to keep these two hobbies apart. It really isn't about the numbers to a few of us, and geocachers would want a letterboxing powertrail like we have with the birdhouse event passport caches. I'm guessing it already exists here as geoart.
  9. I'm seeing the same from one reviewer. Are the caches in your area old with lots of FP's and a HUGE inventory of trackables that the the owner abandoned? Over all the six or seven reviewers I have had dealings with were professional except for one. The held a large area open for a "buddie" that was working on an "epic" cache that never happened. I felt he was power tripping, and still do. After I complained to HQ another reviewer was assigned me it seems. I'm not so sure that they have a secret set of guidelines, but it seems GS will support them right or wrong from where I'm watching. I remember when a reviewer would at least correct the TB inventory, but what I seen recently was the reviewer re enabled several listings that the CO had disabled and then deleted his note. Months later the same issue returns and the throwdowns begin. I enjoy geocaching much less than I did a few years ago because of how the game became all about the numbers and cache quality plummeted.
  10. So when it comes right down to the facts of this matter it is just internal bickering against a few, maybe three waymarkers that are playing Waymarking as a numbers game and not a grid game?
  11. It's sad to hear that this is happening in other places as well. It really gripes me as well that the same reviewers have held me accountable for my geocache listings and ignore others. Did something official change? Can abandoned caches just be temporary disabled and never archived? It's confusing to me too.
  12. 10 free checks per month. 1 per parcel. You can purchase unlimited requests. I just started using the app about 45 days ago for hunting, but as a past geocache hider I saw it's usefulness.
  13. Here is an app that I find interesting for deer hunting and geocaching. Not only can I use it to take coordinates, I can use it to view who owns the parcel of property. It comes in handy for asking permission to hunt or geocache. Hunt Stand
  14. I'm guessing many are like mine that have no other data and ended up here or an alternative site? There seems to be more interest in BM's from what I read.
  15. Do you think they were removed because of this challenge cache or what? Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point.
  16. I was totally unaware of this, but it is equally as silly as those here that pleasure themselves as being the world's best waymarkers. It's just a silly side game to geocaching.
  17. Don't get discouraged. It only took me a little over three years after I posted a thread here looking for a partner.
  18. I believe it was just a dead fall tree on a hiking trail and people started driving pinnies in it.
  19. A few of this CO's caches which are virtuals were temporary disabled because of the historic wildfire in the area. I'm sure the community complained enough that the reviewer re enabled them. I would have thought that would be up to the cache owner and not the community.
