Dave from Glanton Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Following on from the current thread about rating found caches, what are peoples' thoughts on this relatively basic (but possibly effective?) scoring system... Start with a 3* for each category and upgrade/downgrade according to personal rating. Average out all of the ratings to get an overall rating for the cache. My initial thoughts on categories to be scored... - General location around cache - Cache contents/condition - Walk to/from cache site (quality/scenery) - Walk to/from cache site (distance/terrain) - Nearby features (e.g. historic or natural site to visit) - Muggle potential - 'x' factor? For example cache location starts as a 3*. If the location is a bit special (really pretty forest clearing) then it gets 4*. If it's somewhere truly outstanding (spectacular views for miles in all directions) it gets a 5*. Likewise, it's along a fairly unremarkable lane maybe it only gets 2*. If it's next to a municipal tip it only gets 1*. I'd be interested in reading what people think. Viable? Needs more categories? Provided the system doesn't get ridiculously complicated, then I'd be happy to knock together and host a web page/script to allow people to calculate ratings online. Quote
+Moote Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 (edited) - Walk to/from cache site (distance/terrain) I think this is already covered in the initial cache page and is often how some cachers choose a cache, maybe it could read - Does the GC.com description \ difficulty \ terrain match the location? Rest looks fine though, I can't fault this at all Milton (aka Moote) Edited November 27, 2005 by Moote Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I personaly feel that we don't need guidelines on how to rate caches. I rate a cache for many different reasons, but mainly on how I feel when I am at the site. There are an unmentionable amount of things that can persuade you one way or the other. To categorise how you rate is wrong in my opinion, ratings should be on your personal feelings, and not because it meets a certain criteria, such as, well they went to the effort so I'll give them 5 stars. I also think this makes 3 threads on the same topic on the front page of the forums. Quote
+Stuey Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 what are peoples' thoughts on this relatively basic (but possibly effective?) scoring system... Just like the recently announced "rules" for TB swaps at events.... I really wouldn't bother with these categories. Have you ever seen those questionnaires they include with irons and toasters from argos? They ask a million questions... you start off reading the detail and thinking about the answer, but before not too long you start going straight down the middle when you realise you just how long it is going to take. All you really want to say is "Yep, it's a pretty good toaster, it's 3 out of 5" Quote

Sorry - but if we are talking cache rating systems - why comment like that? It seems to me that your use of bold was to emphasise the patronising nature of your posting. If this wasn't the case I would be grateful for an explaination of what the emphasis means. All I did was point out that for those obsessed with ratings, there is somewhere else to go. I am not sure what the GCUK website has to do with my point. Quote
+Happy Humphrey Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I'm with HMcH on this one. Maybe we could go as far as explaining that you should just rate according to your personal "gut-feeling" experience of the cache, without any attempt to be particularly consistent or objective. HH Quote
nobby.nobbs Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 i have to say my gut feeling is that we ditch any star rating for caches. spend a little more time and write a longer log. any star rating is limited and doesn't explain why you liked the cache whereas the next person might for the same reasons hate it. write about what you saw/did/ experienced then each following cacher can make their own mind up. also makes it better for the owner as they get more feedback from the logs other than tnln! it's not like we are limited to 10 word logs. so get out the dictionaries and thesaurus' and get creative. Quote
+Happy Humphrey Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Nobby, The main point of cache rating is so you can see a shortlist of worthwhile caches. It might be nice if the logs are better-written but it doesn't help the visiting geocacher at all, as they'd have to read thousands of log entries to sort out the ones to pick. HH Quote
+The Blorenges Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Just adding my 2p-worth: When we want to go out for a cache we have never ,as yet, bothered to check its Star Listing. If it's there, not too far away, we read the last half dozen logs and if they seem OK, we'll go and try it. The only circumstances when we will be looking at the ratings in advance is when we will be considering which cache to try for our 100th. Yes, we grade our finds using the present Star system - it's quick, easy - 2.5 is average - move up or down from that point. I always try to put an informative, sometimes amusing log, which I hope will be of use to the cache owner. If we had to complete a more detailed "assessment form" then, sorry, but I don't think we would bother. IMO, this is a hobby,recreational sport, game - Life is already complicated enough - Just go out and look for little boxes! MrsB Quote
+Happy Humphrey Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Mrs. B, I'd recommend using the list of top-rated caches as a good starting point when deciding where to go for a caching day out - reading the cache logs to rate them yourself could take all week (if you're a fast reader). There's more than 8000 in the UK! Even if you limit yourself to 100 miles from home, there could easily be 1000 to look at. HH Quote
+Sensei TSKC Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 I tend to use the star rating chart as a guide to which cache I would like to do when reaching a landmark cache. i.e. No way would I EVER want 'Kippers favourite Geocache' to be a landmark!!! There is no disrespect to the cache, I know why it was placed - others may not. I used it for Military Intelligence as my 100th cache and a great choice too. SPAS Quote

+Happy Humphrey Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 (edited) Nobby, when i plan a trip i look at all the local caches to that area and choose the ones i'm going to visit from the logs Maybe I tend to look at a bigger area than you do! How long would it take you to read the logs for 1000 caches? That's what I'm often faced with... The ratings are just one useful starting point for selecting potential caches, not necessarily the only one. Of course it's subjective, but so are the cache logs, but I'd venture that if it's 4* after 10 people have rated it it's going to be worth checking the description to see if you fancy it. And the nice thing about having the rating system separate from the caches is that if you don't have any use for it, you can just ignore it. HH Edited November 29, 2005 by Happy Humphrey Quote

markandlynn Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 I would be careful saying that, someone might come in and claim you are obsessed! Or live on an island with only 80 caches on it We use the ratings as a guide for milestone caches and holiday planning we would not want to do a two star cache for number 300 and we would not want to miss out on a five star cache while on holiday. We still read the logs but only after narrowing it down in terms of distance , difficulty etc. Looking at the current top rated caches there are 93 caches which have only recieved 5 stars some have low number of votes but thats still quite a shortlist of cache logs to read. If the cache is close to home we will do it no matter what at some point. love stats Quote

Nobby, That's a little bit short sighted on your behalf, don't you think? If 10 people enjoy something and 10 people didn't enjoy something else - in their subjective view - then there is an indication that the probability that you will like the 1st and not the 2nd (as much) is pretty high and therefore does offer (not) real insight into the quality of the cache. Don't get me wrong, I know it doesn't guarantee anything but it's a pointer. Nobby, I believe you are in the same employment as me and if we didn't believe in pointers and circumstancial events, we'd never get our job done! Oss! Edited November 29, 2005 by Sensei TSKC Quote
nobby.nobbs Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 ok again point taken. and we do have to go along with the theory that if it waddles and quacks we do have to atleast give some time to the idea it's a duck i was just concerned/worried that people would use the rating system instead of penning a good log entry. more needs to be done to encourage more descriptive logs and less one line tnlnsl entries. 1000 caches!!!!! thats one heck of a day trip! if i'm lucky i'll manage 10 in a really busy day. i'd point out i'm not agaianst the idea of a seperate rating system as i always rate on the geocacheuk site. used to be in that employment...not since someone took a dislike to me and expressed it using a stanley knife! makes you re-evaluate things.

+Teasel Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 I'd be interested in reading what people think. Viable? Needs more categories? Provided the system doesn't get ridiculously complicated, then I'd be happy to knock together and host a web page/script to allow people to calculate ratings online. The trade-off is of course between quality and quantity. For G:UK, I went for lots of low-quality ratings because there are lots of caches and lots of cachers in the UK and I wanted opinions from a broad cross-section of both. If you go for a questionnaire approach, you will have better data, but less of it. One problem of this is that "outliers" (scores from vandals, or people who haven't followed your scoring guidelines) may start to have more effect. Another problem is that a large proportion of caches may well not have any ratings. So, with that in mind, who is your target audience? I have a couple of specific issues with your proposed list of criteria: Firstly a high muggleability is bad, so for your "muggle potential" score, you'll need to make it abundantly clear whether lots of stars means a good chance of being muggled, or good protection against being muggled. I would strongly suggest that you word all your categories in such a way that more stars indicates a "better" cache. (Sure, you could always flip the scores in the averaging calculation, but it'd confuse the hell out of everyone!) Secondly, I don't much like the "distance/terrain" category. All your other scores have a definite good end and bad end of the scale. But a high distance just makes a cache different, not better or worse. Having said that, I do like the idea of getting people to rate distance / terrain, in order to provide an independent confirmation of the cache placer's ratings. I just don't think they should be averaged in to an overall score. Don't be discouraged by the replies above which criticise the usefulness of any/all scoring systems. If you build it, they will come, and if you enjoy building it, that's surely good enough! Quote
+Moote Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 people who haven't followed your scoring guidelines Because there are no guidelines is the reason why the scores could be considered wholly inaccurate, as it is all based on individual particular method which no one except that person has knowledge of. Therefore how can I know if someone who votes an absolutely brilliant cache a low score because say of a long hike. Or even that their mate placed it so rated higher than it really deserved. By providing criteria on which to rate, gives a balanced status, which would make it a lot less error prone and give better data. All surveys which are conducted by Professional organisations, always guide you even if you think that the questions they ask are nothing to do with the subject. Milton (aka Moote) Quote
+Flyfishermanbob Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 The dangerous ground that you are about to enter is that you are predefining the qualities of a "good" cache ... "One mans' meat is another's poison" and all that ... A 3 mile hike may be a turn off to some and an attraction to others; A cunningly sited micro in an urban area may be the challenge that some cachers enjoy..... A standard cache in an area of outstanding beauty which you would never have visited may be a big factor for some.... A puzzle which requires cryptological / web search could be a challenge to some, and a turn off to others.... ETC. ETC. ETC. The rating system as it stands is a very subjective measure of how much YOU enjoyed finding the cache ...no more no less ! ...it can never be an objective tool for measuring the "quality" of a cache ...... Any attempt to quantify "quality" will always be subjective on the questions asked .... Leave it alone... all it indicates is how much the people who found it ( and took the time to click the stars ) enjoyed the day ... Quote
+t.a.folk Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Or even that their mate placed it so rated higher than it really deserved. Shouldn't be too hard to find out . By reading the logs on cache details one can see the name above comments . "Thanks mate" or similar fairly good indication that finder knows the owner . Quote
+Teasel Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Because there are no guidelines is the reason why the scores could be considered wholly inaccurate Ummm, since he hasn't actually written the site yet, how can you say there are no guidelines?! Off topic: there are rules for the G:UK scoring system! Users are instructed that Stars should be awarded according to how much you enjoyed the cache. Unless you can honestly say that you have enjoyed equally every cache you have ever found, that makes you the only person I'm aware of who is deliberately breaking the rules! If you can honestly say that you have gained exactly the same enjoyment out of each cache you have ever found, then I'm afraid that's not a scenario which I considered when designing the G:UK system. From the sound of it, a more varied and objective rating system, like the one Dave is proposing, is more your cup of tea. Quote
+Teasel Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Or even that their mate placed it so rated higher than it really deserved. The only "rule" is that people award a score based on how much they enjoyed the cache. For example this cache was placed by my wife. The fact that I was searching for a cache placed by Jayne made the cache genuinely more enjoyable for me, and that was reflected in my score. Sorry, but I don't see that as a problem. Similarly, I've noticed a tendancy in myself to rate more highly when the weather is either extremely good or extremely foul, whereas caches found on anonymous damp, grey days often score a little lower. But that's fine too because I'm not trying to predict how much another, average cacher would enjoy the cache on another, average day; I'm saying how much I enjoyed myself on my caching trip. As Flyfishermanbob points out, all the scoring system tells you is how much other people enjoyed themselves. Not even that, but only the people who found the cache - those who couldn't find it because it was a cr*p cache and the coordinates were 50m out don't even get the chance to have their say! Given all that, if you still find the relative scores interesting, then G:UK is the site for you. If you don't think a scoring system has any merit unless it's objective, then how about replying to Dave's original question, rather than re-stating the same complaints about the existing system which prompted this thread in the first place?!

However, you are now quite conciously trying to skew the figures to make them worthless and that is just vandalism. Nothing more. It also shows an exceptional lack of respect and consideration towards Teasel who put a great deal of hard work into setting this up and the rest of us cachers who use the statistics that it creates. I don't understand your motivation, except to spoil the system for all cachers who like using it. And that is all I see, just a vandal who wants to spoil a great resource for UK geocachers. If you want to do something about it there are two ways - constructively and destructively, you choose the destructive method and that is NOT a standard of behaviour that I admire.

I wouldn't have asked such a question, just in case he said Haggis!! HH (different HH to the one I am answering too!) Edit: P.S. Bit cheesed off that I actually missed it though, I do hope that it was a live broadcast or had been taped earlier in the day, as the Hunting Season only started yesterday?
