+tozainamboku Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 So why is this in the GPS Related topics and not under General Geocaching Discussions? Are earthcaches not caches? Quote Link to comment
+geoaware Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 And a very special welcome to the new forums from the EarthCache team at the Geological Society of America. We are the group that approves EarthCaches around the world. We are delighted that there is now a special place to discuss all aspects of EarthCaches. We will let the 'collective knowledge' answer most things...and chime in when we think an 'official' statements will add to the discussion. Geoaware Quote Link to comment

+BilboB Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I am psyched to see this added to the forums. There are a lot of discussions going on for just being added a few days ago. Smart thinking. Quote Link to comment
+Dolfy Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I just ran across this section and I think it was a great move!! Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+TerryDad2 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Happy to have the space . I've been on vacation for the past week getting coordinates for more earthcaches in the Eastern Sierras and Yosemite (if they decide to allow them). The logo is not showing up for me in the GPS Related Topics page. Quote Link to comment
+MissJenn Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Noted, TerryDad2. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+SweetSassyPants Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I LOVE this forum and appreciate genegene for suggesting it and Miss Jenn for making it a reality... BUT, are we gonna get some kind of moderation or sumpthin up in here? Four threads have been replied to today and three of them are relating to issues that are best handled privately. Quite likely nothing will be resolved publicly and there will always be questions and concerns that need to be addressed but this is getting tiresome and (IMO) it's really starting to border on harrassment. Am I the only one that has a PM button?? I've got no dog in this fight (and would like to keep it that way) but I LOVE EarthCaches and LOVE learning more about them and would appreciate if there were some guidelines to keep this forum about EarthCaches. *jumps off soap box* Quote Link to comment
+MissJenn Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hi Sassy, are we gonna get some kind of moderation or sumpthin up in here? If anyone has any questions regarding the appropriateness of a forum discussion post, you may discuss that with the author of the post. Cite the appropriate portion of the forum guidelines if necessary. You may also use the ‘report’ icon found at the bottom of that post. This alerts a Groundspeak Forum moderator to look into that topic. And yes, it does go somewhere (to a site-wide mod) even though this new section has no specifically-named moderator.

Thanks MissJenn, I hadn't even considered the 'report' button. Truth is, I'd forgotten all about it, but then I've never had a reason to use it before now. I'll do that from now on.

+TerryDad2 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Yahoo. We got the icon. Looks great. Quote Link to comment
+genegene Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 As far as a moderator goes, I think that we should be more or less "self moderated" with you MissJen stopping in once and a while to check on things, or if there is a complaint about someone posting something incorporate. Yes we did get off to a rocky start, but doesn't everything when it first starts. As of this moment, I think the forum is moving in the right direction as to the original idea of me posting the request for an earthcache forum. There are very knowledgeable earthcachers that use this forum and I (at this moment in time) appreciate them taking the time to help out, agree or disagree on all topics that are posted. I look forward to there responses and enjoy reading there opinions. There will always be that one person that needs to put there 2 cents in that does not sit well with others, or even says something way out of line that needs to be reminded of the rules. I will admit, that even I have been talked to about something I have posted, but it was in a P.M. and it was a very good discussion between myself and the moderator. As for now, lets see how it goes and hope that we will not need a watchdog to bark at every user that is very adamant about there feelings on a topic. I have no problems with anyone who says what they feel, unless its way off topic or is a personal attack on someone. That should be left to PM's. But if a dog is needed, everyone already knows now that I do not own a dog, nor would I put it into a fight Quote Link to comment
