I agree that no rules fit all. But with the old rules, people could choose to hide challenge caches that allowed previous finds that benefited experienced cachers. Others could hide challenge caches with date restrictions that would level the playing field and in some cases give newer cachers an advantage. With the new rules, only the the first type is possible. So the old rules allowed a variety of challenge caches, while the new rules restricts challenge caches to a certain type. In addition, interesting challenges can give an experienced cachers like myself inspiration to go out and find new caches.
So I think that the new rule should be relooked at to allow the flexibility in challenges types that we have enjoyed until the recent change.
