I have found that you can have a Pokémon-themed cache, as long as you don't directly promote the other game. I placed this puzzle cache and it passed review easily. In my case, the information is part of the card-based game and not the app game exclusively.
It's been found many times and seems to work out nicely. As with anything, it's all in how you word things and present the information.

They would both be meet and greet-style events...just different spots and days.

Hey, folks...question.
I know there's this rule about event stacking...so many events per day, especially around Megas, etc., but how about this...?
We have been hosting a semi-regular meet and greet dinner/breakfast event just after midnight at a 24-hour chain restaurant. Someone suggested having dinner at one spot late at night, and then a bit later, after midnight, having dessert at another spot.
So, would it be possible to have an event in two different spots on two different days, but one separated by an hour or so?

One of my Earthcache pages gets a visit every single day from a particular cacher and I find it kind of odd.
Why would you make an Earthcache PMO? I make most of my caches PMO, but never Earthcaches. There's no container to lose, but there is an education to be gained. Why restrict it?

As the title suggests, are we getting souvenirs for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day like we did last year?
There are no plans for a New Year's souvenir.
Bummer. Thanks for the reply.

Or you could just Enable your Listing. I don't put Listings pending Review on a Watchlist, so posting a Note on the Listing page without Enabling it won't get my attention.
Oops...I am sorry. I didn't know that.

I feel that my proposed Earthcache stands on its own from the one nearby.
How far away from the published EC are we talking about?
Over a mile away in a city.

Hi there...
I recently submitted an Earthcache (GC6XYN9) and it was denied because the reviewer said it was too similar to a nearby Earthcache (GC4FAAC). I feel the lessons are different enough to allow for both. My lesson is almost totally based on fossils and the existing one is more based on rock formation, with a casual mention of fossils in it.
I sent the reviewer a reviewer note, but I have not heard back from them. Is there any way I can appeal this decision? I feel that my proposed Earthcache stands on its own from the one nearby.
Thanks.

Hi there...
On the main page there's links to search for events near me and the newest caches. They used to show the local caches, but now they show far more caches hundred of miles off. Is this a bug or something? How do I get it back to the way it was? Thanks.

I love geocaching...I love it so much that I had this crazy idea. When I pass away, I wish to be cremated. After that is done, I'd like to have a few mega bison containers filled with some of my cremains and then somehow permanently sealed. Add to them a travel bug dog tag and voilà...I am now a trackable. I'd have them post missions asking people to take me to events, popular caches, etc. I'd stiil be able to participate in geocaching!
So, what do you think of this? Would you actually take and move on or otherwise help such a bug with its mission?

Don't worry about what other people think about your logs. Think what you want and let them think what they want.
This is exactly how I feel.
-
I cut and paste but add something to the ending if I find there is something to write about. This is way better than, TFTC or Found it or nothing at all.
This is what I do.
Some people just can't write long logs. Creative writing was never my thing in school. Asked to write a 3 page short story, I'd struggle to come up with more than a paragraph.
Bingo.
I have a novel idea when it comes to how people log caches. Ready? Grab a pencil and write this down:
Don't worry about how people log their finds. Log how you want and let them log how they want.
Don't pet the sweaty things.

I have the Moto G4 and I have been caching with it just fine.

...
Even though a GPS unit might not be the only thing that can bring me to Ground Zero of a geocache, I do think it's a nice thing to have with me.
...
Am I reading correctly that a GPSr is the new status symbol? Now that *everyone* has a smartphone, a GPSr distinguishes a person as a notch above the commoners??
Precisely. Real cachers use GPSr units.

I find it fascinating that a feature that is ignored by many premium members can be considered "a crucial feature" by others.
Ignored? As far as I can tell, it's one of the favorite features of most.

Now, ohgood, since it seems that you like making claims and not backing them up, I will engage you no further on this topic until you have definitive proof of such accuracy that only you have claimed.
Basically, back up your claims or stop spouting nonsense.

...and always keeps me on the right trail, thanks to +/- 10ft accuracy, on the fly, in tree cover, on the side of a mountain.
Somehow I doubt this. That would be dang good accuracy even with a dedicated handheld.
my almost four year old smartphone thanks you for the compliment !
I'm glad there are skeptics, they just need to get out and try it next!
It wasn't a compliment. I am calling out your male bovine excrement...
but, when you call bs, you have to prove it. or you lost credibility every single time.
good luck !
Not quite. You made the claim, so...
However, I'll play along. Read enough threads around here and information on various websites, and you'll find +/-10 feet to be good in optimal conditions. You claim it in bad with an old phone. You're full of it.
if you prove me wrong I'll really enjoy the evidence and completely agree. unfortunately we have no proof you've provided. politeness still counts in the process. I am not provoked.
You made the claim, the burden of proof is on you. Go.

Additionally, at some point the technical capability of a device crosses a point of irrelevance in the context of geocaching. If a device is as accurate as needed for geocaching then arguing how good a device is really isn't very helpful; it would come down to user experience and preference alone. A device accurate to 10cm vs a device accurate to 1m? Considering posted coordinates are probably on average off by 4-5m (educated guess) and there's no guarantee whatsoever that posted coordinates are accurate in the first place, that amazing level of accuracy is really pointless when geocaching.
Hone the geosense for 5-10m and you'll have a better time caching than trying to narrow down the precise GZ every time before searching for the container...
Very good post. When it comes down to it, if it works well for geocaching, then all is well.

if you have an agenda to present here, do it or retract your comment. I'm fine either way. go for it.
Nice attempt at transference. Again, why are you *really* seeking this information?

... Pro-life smart phone posts aren't questioned. ...
As for caching, I'm pro-choice.

So it's only art if it's made out of a certain kind of cache? That is ludicrous.
