Groundspeak is already considering some guidelines for placing caches.

I always find it amusing that everytime someone brings up a topic like, "newbies placing caches" or "iphone users bad logging techniques" the overly sensitive types come out and try to defend said groups. Obviously there are exceptions to every rule. I'm positive that many new cachers hide great caches and many old time cachers hide crummy caches. I'm also equally sure that many iphone users have good logging etiquette and plenty of GPS users type "tftc" or the like, only. It's just more likely for certain types of cachers to have certain annoying habits. A new cacher is absolutely going to make more mistakes in several ways. A rookie in anything is more likely too. I don't understand what is hard to understand about that fact of life. People should just accept it and quit taking offense to it. If you are one of the exceptions, then kudo's to you. You are the exception, not the rule.

I agree ! I'm new and I made a couple of mistakes yesterday, I went out today in the cold rain and snow and found one out of three (all day) I learned my lesson FAST ! I'm 61 years old and have been around the block (several) times over, so I learn fast. I can understand how people can get mad about Newbies BUT - It is (a game!) if They want to solve the problem - JUST DON'T GO LOOKING FOR CACHES THAT NEWBIES PLACE - (REAL SIMPLE ! ! DHA !) THAT WAS EAST ! ! ! !
