Amen!!! I'm running into that same problem in this area. Even around the Gettysburg Battlefield, I was excited to find some nice caches surely....DENIED.... most are as you put it, "ME TOO" caches in locations far less supreme than where most would put on the battlefield. Most would've taken the travelor to great lookouts such as on top of a tower or across a valley. Then to top it off...they required me to go out of my way to get online and email them to let them know what was on the statue in order to get credit for the cache. What a joke. I visited 7 caches today all under playground equipment. We can only hope it wasn't some pedo placing those. I totally agree with the star-rating idea. Geocaching.com... please adopt this feature!
I'm tired of being required it seems to first go through mazes, computer access and coding just to simply go sight-seeing. It's retarded.
