it may have been a common sense rule at one time, but not anymore. They now edit and delete caches one puts out and then tell you not to re-edit them. I'm sorry, but now that I paid for a service, that should make me a customer and treated as such. Yes I believe Jeremy is a busy person and I give nothing but praise to him for what he has done, but anyone who doesn't think this is paying out is kidding themself. Geocaching is just part of a bigger corp. Ground Inc. and if the RONA is not there they would not have it. Excuse the rant but after the problems I had with getting IDS VI approved, even though all my others had no problem, it just got to me.

looks like it just isn't going to fly. They will not let me have it. So be it

IDS VI had nothing to do with the bonus. The place IDS VI leads you to does. That is why I put them down as 2 seperate caches, one being locationless.

I submitted it 3 times and the first 2 times the denied it, the third time I have been waiting 8 hours now for approval

sorry for the crosspost but I thought I'd post thiis here too,
Looks like I ticked off the admin. First off let me apologize for my remark made earlier in a post about the Porshe cache on ways to beat the system. I only read about it on another post in the General section and didn't think much about it. Now it seems I have a black mark (via e-mail "The admins are all well aware of your posting in the forums re. the PORCHE cache, so I wanted to give you a friendly warning that admins have their "watch lists" too. ") No names given but again I apologize to the admin and will be careful in the future about what I write.

i changed the font...hopefully it will be better

Why won't they approve the bonus? I know it is locationless but in a sense it isn't. Man they are becoming sticklers.

I tell you what. Getting this cache approved was like having a root canal. Between the posted coordinates not being the actual coordinates and my fonts being too large I thought I would have to pull it for sure.

This one can take some time

hey wayne
just put the coordinates down without the going into the store part..after it is approved edit the cache to include going into the store

Creativity is always good

Just got done creating my masterpiece of a container. I would like each of my team members to bring some items to put into it. I would like items that most represent Geocaching to you. The container is about the size of a coffee can.
-
I have been giving some thought about it. I will be out there Friday to scout the area for placement. I do have one question. Do I need to bring a container for the cache? As far as a them goes I will post another topic to get ideas from my teammates.

As for gloves I know Oregone is bringing extra! I'll need large ones, myself.

I agree on leaning heavy on the cache owners. However a cache can be maintained even if the owner does not have internet, and being maintain won't be an issue. I believe the the following things should be considered as suspect caches
1) A cache that is in disarray AND the owner cannot be contacted within a 4 week period
2) A cache that is in disarray AND the owner is contacted but doesn't give a darn.
Missing caches-if it is missing how is it an issue
My definition of a Disarray cache-A cache that is left unattended that is either deteriorating, full of trash, pretty much garbage.

So you have to have a means of transfer, but you have to play it safe including posting a note in the cache itself.
newbie comes up empty
in How do I...?
Posted
1) I always print out the cache page of the cache I'm looking for
2) You got to realize that GPS setups are not 100% accurate. You may be 30 feet off. Now considering there GPS may also be 30 feet. You get what I mean
3) As far as the Magellan I do not know
4) Try hooking up with someone in your area for the first couple of times
5) You can download them into your GPS or manually input them. I find doing multiple caches in a day downloading them is easier
