The Stragglers

One was found and the container must measure 10 inch by 8 inch(Mega Extra large sandwich box) and not very hidden, no wonder they are getting wrecked! There has been some successful caches in Clumber for quite some time, so blame the inexperience of the people putting these new ones down. Sounds like they didn't want advice from people who actually know how it all should work, all I can say typical. These have been so so long in getting done and have turned out to be very disappointing.

Sounds all a bit rubbish, was going to find them tomorrow, but not sure whether to bother now.

Have they put any goodies in it?

Still waiting for these, any updates?

This is getting old. I think you should re-evaluate your "perfect-ness". That makes two of us then I've learned this isn't the most welcoming place to post questions. Some of the people here are really nice and some can be downright rude especially if you're a newbie. Some people here are extremely informative but if you feel you're being talked down to, you aren't alone--I actually see it a lot on here. Most of these people have been doing this for a long time and clearly have no patience for someone who is new and not completely understanding of ALL of the rules. I've learned to just do my best to find the answer on my own. Thank you ROand Joe, I have realised that I have jumped into a pit of snakes. I was thinking of asking a moderator to take the post off. I am a 60 something year old lady who has got very upset today with all of this. Not because I am not clearly winning the agument, but because the site is so very very rude.In fact it is bordering on bullying. Yes, am thinking again about the whole idea of geo- caching, good idea but some very wrong people in so many ways. Anyway, pleased to report a successful find and praise for my cache today, so am happy with that. If a mod reads this please take the topic off...thanks

You came here looking for opinions, you got them, both from Reviewers and non. Knitting is usually a solitary affair so it might be, as you suggest, better for you, since social interaction doesn't appear to be your forte. One thing I can tell you is that Groundspeak is very aware of and sensitive to its corporate image, and those who are selected to volunteer as Reviewers are therefore among the nicest and most helpful people you will ever meet. really?

Okay I am getting how it works. Reviewers can be as unhelpful and as rude as they like, even when they have got things totally wrong. I, as a newbie to this game, have to not take it personally, after all my hard work and expense,and musn't point out any short comings, because I am new, what do I know? Well I thought I new the difference between a plastic bag and a camo bag. I bow down. I have no issues with being asked a proper question, when trying to get a cache published, but the way it was done, leaves a lot to be desired. I am not here to be lectured at. Pehaps I had better take up knitting.

Errrm , well actually, I was sent an email saying my replies were angry at her,and I also should not have changed the wording (one word). I did this as this seemed to be causing the confusion. She was pretty rude about this and said that she hadn't told me to change it. Do I need permission to edit? She really didn't need to mention it, (well perhaps a thank you)as it was done to help her. there was nothing wrong with the cache. Does anyone else know what a camo bag is? Respect works both ways, and I am nothing but polite. she made the mistake by presuming that all bags are plastic. Them she went on to quote the rules and regs about bags. She was wrong, the rules state non use of plastic bags. If she had just ask me what the bag was made off and left it at that fine.but she didn't she suspended the cache until I was to go and retrieve it, and also did the lecture thing on bags. It is a fabric bag by the way. So much confusion because I presumed everyone would know what a camo bag is. So my fault then I am new

Just wondering as I have got off on the wrong foot with mine. This was my first cache and I did everything by the book, but the reviewer picked up on something, which wasn't an issue. She went off on one and gave me a lecture and suspended the cache. I replied as best as I could, to explain what was really there and not what she thought. My cache has now been published but also got a snotty e mail, saying that there was no need for me to be angry with her etc etc (another lecture) and I had changed wording, when SHE hadn't asked me too I feel well and truly told off, for no reason. If I have to deal with this person everytime I want to hide a cache, I feel its no fun and whats the point. Yes I know perhaps some people don't get it right first time, but my experience of this has now put me off doing anymore.
