Jusl89 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 This cache: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...=y&decrypt= is placed in a very dangrous location. It is right next to a road where cars go very fast. In addition, the cache is placed in a patch of cacti, causing great injury. I do not believe this cache should be listed as it may lead to people getting hit by cars. How do I get it removed?

+IV_Warrior Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Not every cache is for every person. If you don't feel safe, skip it and move on to the next one. Just because you don't think it's safe doesn't mean it needs removed from the website.

Just because you don't think it's safe doesn't mean it needs removed from the website. You are wrong because it DOES need to be removed. Someone could get seriously hurt trying to find this cache, and they wouldn't even know it. So you are saying I can hide a cache with coordinates that are near train tracks and not tell anyone that a train may come and hit them at any time? You may want to consider changing your policy.
Jusl89 Posted November 19, 2006 Author Posted November 19, 2006 Cache placer has 17603 finds. Person complaining has 1 find. What a superficial idiot you are. All it takes to increase your find number is to write a "found" note in a cache. I hope you have more mental capacities than this.
+Snoogans Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Cache placer has 17603 finds. Person complaining has 1 find. From the OP's cache log: This is not what geo-caching is about. Please, tell us all what it IS about.
+Kit Fox Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) The cache has been there since 3/23/2005, and it has 52 finds. I checked the cache page, and there isn't any reference to any geocachers getting killed by cars, or dying, due to cactus punctures. Perhaps you should look where your going to avoid thorns and cars So you are saying I can hide a cache with coordinates that are near train tracks and not tell anyone that a train may come and hit them at any time? You may want to consider changing your policy. This won't happen, because GC.com will not approve geocaches near active rail roads. I think you should find a safer hobby.

You may want to consider changing your policy. Well, you could, but it likely wouldn't get listed on this site as the guidelines restrict caches placed near active railroads. Again, just because YOU don't think it's safe doesn't mean it needs to be removed. There are caches in all kinds of "dangerous" places. You assess the risks and make the decision to hunt or not hunt any cache. Oh, and I'd imagine they'd know it if someone got seriously hurt.....at least, I think I'd know it if I got seriously hurt.....

I could open up an ice cream shop. But my ice cream shop puts razor blades in the ice cream. It's up to you to assesss the risk whether to buy ice cream or not. So you cut your mouth on my ice cream.

Someone could get seriously hurt trying to find this cache, and they wouldn't even know it. I'm afraid IV-Warrior isn't wrong. The decision of whether or not to attempt a cache is ultimately up to no one except the person seeking it. If you think it's dangerous, don't attempt it. Judging from the logs, plenty of other people were perfectly capable of making that decision for themselves. By the way, if you're going to complain about a cache at least have the courage of your convictions and use your normal geocaching name instead of a sock puppet account.
+Kit Fox Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 This cache is much more dangerous, should it not be allowed? If you don't tell them that they may be killed, yes it should be removed. Most of my caches are located in Rattlesnake, Scorpion, Coyote, Mtn Lion, and Black Bear habitat. Should I hold cacher's hands, to protect them from themselves? The first 53 finders survived, and wrote their found it logs, obviously, after 1 1/2 years, the death potential for this cache isn't that bad.

Well, someone here's missing something, but it isn't me. I think that MOST of us are intelligent to realize that if we're near a road cars could come "barreling down at us" and will pay a little attention to our surroundings.

+Woodlit Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 If that one gets removed, that means all the micros on gaurdrails should be removed. And thats like 50% of all the caches out there Last cache I did I saw a bear in the woods. It is my understanding that they can be dangerous animals. Wait, so that means every cache in the woods needs to be removed to. Heck, I drive my car to trail heads to go caching. Driving is dangerous too, so any cache you can't walk to from your house should be removed as well. So all that is left are events. Events held at your house, and anybody who isn't within walking distance can't come. So wait, with no other caches out there, what would you talk about at the event?

+Nutty Squirrel Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 90% of the caches are in tick-infested areas and I usually pick up a few. A tick bite can KILL you, or at least make you very sick.

You mean you were incapable of assessing the situation and making an informed decision about whether or not to attempt the find? Have you identified the exact nature of your intellectual failure yet? I mean, was it an inability to recognize a hazardous situation as you approached, or was it an inability to say "Nah, I'm not going to try that one"?
+VeryLost Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Is it bad that I want people to die looking for my cache, even though I warned them? You get some sort of points or special award for that, don't you? And I think the rules have something about double points awarded if you can kill someone with a micro.

+Bad_CRC Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I want to know the real story here. seems this is a smurf account intended to try to cause trouble for the cache placer. Maybe just a really dumb guy? (special?) no, cactus can't hurt you unless you grab them. no, standing near a road won't hurt you, and roads don't move suddenly. the cache placement appears to be near a bike trail, there doesn't appear to be mildly dangerous, not to mention extremely dangerous. Not sure what you are going for here, but if you are truly concerned about the danger, you shouldn't be, that location is much safer than most city sidewalks.
