Caches With Little Merit

[+dysdera]

I also think the rating system employed by moote is rather pointless. I think at times moote likes to court controversy for the sake of it so I dont take much of what he says very seriously.

As for ratings, another good way is when someone finds a cache they think is really special they say so in the forums. SP recently spoke of a cache in such a way and it is now on my to-do list for the very near future in spite of being 100 miles or so from my home.

The owner of the cache always receives a copy of the log, and when it is very complimentary as some of mine on a particular cache have been it really cheers you up, and is ample reward for placing the cache in the first place. Indeed when someone travels a100 miles to do a cache of yours, that makes it even more worth while. To find another 5 from someone who gives 5 to every cache he does quickly becomes meaningless.

This is a good point, and I too think this.

 

It's a bit like crying Wolf, if you keep being controversial, when you finally do need to be controversial to get a VALID point across, no one wants to know, as you are always like that!

 

Maybe that is the way you like to express yourself, but you are already at the beginning of people thinking your opinion is worthless.

 

Please don't take that as an attack, it is meant as advice.

oh the angst!

 

trouble is like everything it's all subjective.

 

the chances are you and your mates like the same sort of things so a mate is likely to rate one of your caches highly as it appeals to them. they may also increase the rate as they know you but both apply.

 

without really strict criteria any rating system is purely a guidance and should be taken with a pinch of salt.

the only fair and safe way is to not have a rating system at all and just rely on peoples comments in the logs. again you're going to get a wide variety but you'll atleast see some of the reasoning behind the judgements.

 

just my 5p worth

 

 

A good 5p's worth in our opinion .

Thankfully not in a waste bin I hope (Green one being worst I guess)

The cache is not IN the picture, but it's well within the 30' accuracy range.

Which cache is that, as I think I may have done it??
