+KD5XB Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Is there some way to put a user in your ignore list? All I can find is how to put a cache in the list. Thanks, Earl Link to comment

+KD5XB Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Yep, that's what I want to do -- I've been using GSAK and I simply delete the ones I want to ignore, but I was hoping to do something a bit more automatic. Link to comment
+lrosell Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Well in that case you can always build a filter i GSAK and filter out a user. Link to comment

I've done the same with GSAK - just filter a certain cache hider out. It's the easiest way... You CAN add their hides to your ignore list but you've always got to be on the look-out for new placements that way. GSAK is a little more automagic. michelle Link to comment
+Miragee Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 This option has been requested many times over the past few years. It would be great to be able to eliminate a particular hider, or hiders, caches from the PQs. Maybe someday the PQ form will allow that . . . In the meantime, I have saved a filter in GSAK for one person's caches. After I refresh the database with my "Date Placed" PQs, I filter out the "Last 2 DNFs," then that person's caches. Then I can reload my Palm and GPSr with new data. Link to comment
+root1657 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 please please please let us ignore a users caches on the site! the GSAK work arounds dont do a lick of good for those of us who work the maps on the site! It's so sad, the TOS forbids us an offline database, but the only way to ever solve a problem is with GSAK, the mandated offline tool for doing anything useful? Link to comment
big_bob Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 It's so sad, the TOS forbids us an offline database, ...... Is that right? I'm not allowed to keep my own offline database? Surely not. In any case, how would "they" know? Link to comment
+wesleykey Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I also request this feature. Link to comment

The myth that an offline database is against the TOU probably has to do with Groundspeak's refusal to provide pocket queries that contain archived caches. One argument that has been made for not doing this it that it would make it easier to maintain a offline database and Groundspeak wants you instead to have to download completely fresh data from the website from time to time.

+Harry Dolphin Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I have no problem going through my PGX files, and filtering by owner's name. If cacher X has hidden a new cache, I add it to my ignore list. It's simple, easy and quick. Link to comment
