Please, can't you just speak for yourself rather then trying to speak for the "people"? I'm sure they can comment if they feel the need. I've liked the microcaches I've found, good containers, good locations. I've actually got some good container/location ideas from some I've found. I'm taking exception to the fact it seems like you are speaking for me (being that I am one of the people who geocache), when I don't agree with what you are saying. Also, to me "a lot" means a large amount but not necessary a majority. I've never seen reference to "a lot" meaning more then 50%. Especially not in the context you see on the news.

The same thing can be said with a thumbs up thumbs down rating system. That's why it needs to be more elaborate (but still easy to use). Questions like how accurate the listing is, how clean the cache area is, how does it rate against others hidden in a similar way, how fun was it, etc. Make each question optional and allow PQ filtering on each one. The more elaborate, the less accurate. I'd still only use 1* or 5* to rate 99% of finds. Either I liked it or I didn't. Don't want to turn peoples caches into some popularity contest when so many depend on how the last finder left the cache. I just like the hunt of any sized cache. However, I TNLN, so maybe that is a factor. I like the exercise and fresh air. I've seen some great caches destroyed by either muggles or other cachers, would hate to have a great cache poorly rated due to others actions. -edit- Assuming the data provided on accuracy was accurate. If you are doubting the accuracy of the accuracy data, how are you assuming the other accuracy data is more accurate?

Do you have stats to quantify "a lot" or what the standard of "lame" is? You seem to be quite sure about what "people" want.

I love drive by micro caches and was a non posting stranger. There is only so much time I have for hikes through forests. Rating system seems like it would be highly flawed unless it was a plain thumbs up thumbs down rating. Hate this 0-5 rating systems where everyone has their own reasons for what number they rate. I <3 Microcaches and their creators. -edit- microcaches were enough to get me to become a premium member.
