I personally like devious caches. Especially the fun ones. I don’t get a lot of favorites, maybe because when it’s devious it’s not a park and grab. .. lol.. honestly, I’m going to start more swag caches because new cachers need incentive. It’s not rewarding or fun when you go into a forest and a few things are unrewarding like, nasty caches, no swag and unkept caches or hard puzzles with no reward. Even a spider ring would of been rewarding. Lmao

Ah, so you don't really mean that you think it's a rule violation. Got it.
Too many possibilities to place my judgement on. I would enjoy being trumped by this. Lol

So I came across this placement recently. Looks to me like the hole was created specifically for this cache and container, especially given the size and proportions of the cache hole and the fact that it in no way resembles any of the much smaller holes in this tree and in the surrounding trees. But of course unless there happened to be a security camera set up randomly in the middle of the woods that also happened to be running when the cache was placed, there's no way to really "prove" that the hole was created specifically for the cache, and the CO can very easily just claim that the hole was already there.
So really I'm just curious as to what people think about hides like this and how they should be handled. Do you just shrug and look the other way? Is it worth reporting? And even if it is reported, is there anything that can really even be done?

Now when I say rule breaker I mean, not fair not fair, I would be left puzzled.... lol! Lighten up folks.lol

I really enjoy geocaching but my only issue( of which I'm working on) is puzzles. I never could sit and focus on solving a puzzle. If it's research I got that, but when it's cryptic I'm SOL!

A great quality cache is a cache well planned, great theme meaning for area and cache. Making the cache fun but not overly difficult. KEEPING IT MAINTAINED ALL THE TIME!!
a poorly done cache is not maintained or missing constantly. Not answering messages in regards to that cache. Wet, nasty bug infested caches. Caches that are placed in poison ivy or thorns have become troublesome.
As as a community, we need to report these caches on a consistent basis. Offer help with those interested in placing a cache, regardless of how many finds they have. This is suppose to be fun!!!! Help them to organize their cache. Stop placing negative or criticizing logs. It makes to cache not want to participate. Place more caches with swag everyone like a reward for those really hard to finds. A micro is not nice in the forest.... really? We need more get together son Memphis! Not everyone can travel to get to an event.
HQ, caches need archiving! We need caches that have not been maintained to be archived. Other caches that haven’t been found in a year or more should be checked on with the CO to makes sure it is there and proof it still exists. There are many spots occupied by these caches and aren’t there. I love caching but I get so discouraged when I want to find or place a cache and it’s not there or it’s hasnt been maintained.. just sayin!!
Thanks,
