+Eye Cacher Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 How do I contact my local reviewer? I have a question about the ethics of a local cache, and I want to find out if it should be archived. I already logged a note to the cache owner, but I want to get the reviewer's opinion. Quote Link to comment

I already logged a note to the cache owner, but I want to get the reviewer's opinion. If you truly believe the cache should be archived due to some violation such as tresspassing etc, post an SBA to the cache page with your concern. If the problem is that you don't like the location, theme etc, email the cache owner and leave the reviewers out of it. The reviewers will respond. Quote Link to comment
+icefall5 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 If this is a slightly newer cache, click the link to see all the logs on the page. If it is newer, the publishing log will still be there. Find it and view the profile of the person who published it. Then e-mail them through that. Quote Link to comment
+wiseye Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Go to the cache page in question and see who reviewed it. E-mail them from their profile. If there is no reviewer listed in the logs, go to another local cache page and find a local reviewer there. Good luck! Quote Link to comment
+Moose Mob Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 You can also post a link to the cache in question here in the forums. Quote Link to comment

I looked at the last several logs you posted on the last you found, and didn't see anything in your where you stated anything was questionable...which cache are you concerned about (and why)?

+Team Cotati Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I have a related question. On average, how many caches per month are archived by persons other than the owner? Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I have a related question. On average, how many caches per month are archived by persons other than the owner? I suppose you could put every cache in your area on your watchlist and see Quote Link to comment

I suppose you could put every cache in your area on your watchlist and see Or subscribe to instanotify ... that will do it too. That would be the sensible answer, but I was responding to who posted it Edited March 13, 2006 by Team GPSaxophone Quote Link to comment
+Moose Mob Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I would assume that the cacher was refering to the ethics of the cache placement. Let's respect his question and wait for his response to our inquiries. Quote Link to comment

I guess you missed this, then: "The signal took me along a deer trail, on the side of the pond opposite the main trail. This area is not supported by a maintained trail, and searching for the cache requires trampling through brush in a sensitive area. I would think this goes agains what the neighbors and city find acceptable. Just my two cents. " -My actual log on the cache. Edited March 14, 2006 by DomeDwellers Quote Link to comment

These deer need to be eradicated *immediately* before they create more social trails! Quote Link to comment

That trail has most likely been there for years. It is much more ethical to utilize these long established trails than to bushwhack. If you're not comfortable leaving the asphalt or gravel.....don't. Hardly a reason to archive a cache....imnsho Quote Link to comment
+Eye Cacher Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 OK, thanks everybody. I'm off to eradicate the pesky deer that create the darn trails that attract geocachers. Just kidding. Quote Link to comment
Team Misguided Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Your name sounded familiar so I peeked at your profile. You have a few hides of your own, at the bottom of one of your cache pages you should see something like this: Current time: 3/14/2006 6:02:26 AMLast Updated: 11/28/2005 4:17:19 AM Last Found: 11/27/2005 8:00:00 AM Published By: Team Misguided Rendered: From Database Coordinates are in the WGS84 datum This will tell you which reviewer published that cache. This is a pretty good way to find out who the local reviewer is. As for the comment, I agree that while it would be better to stay on maintained trails an animal trail is not usually anything to worry about. Quote Link to comment

I believe you only see the reviewers name if you're looking at your own cache. edited to add....UUhhh...nevermind Edited March 14, 2006 by BadAndy Quote Link to comment
