The Maintenance Needed Attribute: Why do we have it?
A J Pombo replied to edexter's topic in General geocaching topics
I think most owners don't check if the maintenance request is true or not, nor do they register the maintenance visit to remove this attribute from their cache. -
I think something important is missing here: Adventure Lab Caches They don't need maintenance, they don't go through the revision process, and they don't have saturation issues either. In very busy places and with many possible visits, they are the ideal solution to show a place worthy of a cache. So, why should I put a physical cache when I can put an Adventure Lab cache?

Same problem all arround the world. Geocaching is not only numbers. Please remove the "found counter" from public profile ...

Yes, i agree. Something like this: - Share/not share my logs with Auth. Dev. App's - Share/not share my souvenirs with Auth. Dev. App's - Share/not share my #founds (including LAB Caches) with Auth. Dev. App's

Struggling with my virtual 3.0 award
A J Pombo replied to Korichnovui's topic in General geocaching topics
Hello I'm very happy with my "no virtual cahche" ... yes, in Portugal i am the third owner and have no virtual award ... never ... why? I don't know ... maybe for having too many caches ... or because my name is not a "lucky name" or bacause my name is in a "black list of owners" ... I have no problems because i don't have a Virtual Reward ... (and yes, this post is "off topic" but is what i feel about Virtual Rewards ... be happy and don't forget "geocaching is about friends and having funny, not just numbers or yellow smiles". -
Are fake logs allowed on Adventure Lab?

Why do you think the log is "fake"? -
Viva. GPS para caches urbanas: smartphone - permite aceder a mapas detalhados que apresentam as ruas, mobiliário urbano, nºs de polícia, etc. Esta informação adicional no mapa ajuda muito nas caches urbanas, porque mais importante que uma coordenada é uma localização no espaço urbano, e isso o GPS tradicional não consegue fazer, porque os mapas (pelo menos os que eu conheço) são muito limitados na informação que apresentam. Para caches no "meio do mato", uso um GPS Garmin, porque nestes casos o smartphone acaba por ter um erro enorme de coordenadas. Recordo que parte da precisão do GPS do smartphone provém da rede móvel/dados, coisa que no "meio do mato" geralmente não existe. Espero ter ajudado.

In Portugal there are about 43000 caches. Some of that (>7900) have the atribute "needs maintenance". Some of these caches have the atribute "needs maintenance" since long time ago (one year, some years, many years). Some cache owners don't care about it or are absent from geocaching. Therefore maintenance requests have no practical effect on their caches, keeping the attribute "needs maintenance" eternally. To minimize this problem, there could be an automatic process that would disable caches after, for example, 60 days (since "needs maintenance" request). What do you think about this? It is acceptable to have caches with "forever needs maintenance"? These caches must be deactivated and archived?
