Deceangi Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 As everyone knows I've been searching for New UK Reviewers, well the first Hunt is nearly over. I will with the permission of the Mega Committee make a official announcement as to who the new Reviewer is. Hopefully He/She [yes girls it might be a She ] will stand up and take a bow. For those not attending the Mega, I will of course post a welcome in here Sorry folks but until the Official announcement I will not be answering any questions or giving any hints I'd just like to thank everyone who put themselves or someone else forward. I can promise you every person was considered equally. And it was a difficult time picking a suitable candidate. Deceangi Quote Link to comment

+JeremyR Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Slightly OT but reviewer related and not an attempt to squeeze info out of Deci, honest When I look at really old caches, from 2000-2002, ish, I don't see many with a publication icon in the log list... Which begs a question to the dusty old folks that were here at the start: Did there not used to be reviewer approval or was it just not done with the green circle log we see today? Or am I just looking at caches where the owner has deleted the publication log? Quote Link to comment

There were always reviewers (since I joined anyway) but the reviewer notes option didn't exist way back when. Lisa The reviewer log was introduced almost exactly 3 years ago, because....... The new "published" log type was added so that the "instant new cache notification" feature would work. The "published" log triggers an e-mail message to everyone within 50 miles of the new cache who has set up a notification request, so that they will know about your new cache. So, this log helps get more people to visit your cache! It also helps for everyone to know the name of the Geocaching.com volunteer who published a cache. That way, if there is ever a problem with the cache, they will know someone to write to if the owner does not respond. Quote Link to comment

Aye.. they were all reviewed.. but we had scant guide lines.. but after some arguments (nowt new there) and threats of invasion we persuaded those on tuther side of pond to allow UK reviewers.. Those that knew territory so to speak.. This was the ground work of what an who we have today.. hard fought and nothing given up lightly.. so the moral of this story.. divint argue with the Brits.. I know.. cos I was that man an we dint have a frog.. Quote Link to comment

+sTeamTraen Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 In some countries states review territories, (some of) the reviewers remain anonymous. This is not a UK tradition, perhaps partly because the community is so large and so tightly-knit that the slight changes in behaviour which are inevitable when someone becomes a reviewer, would make it almost impossible to maintain. But wouldn't it be cool if the new UK reviewer turned up to events dressed like this? Some say he thinks the Kama Sutra is an Indian restaurant. And, that he can archive caches simply by staring hard at the page. All we know is... his username is GeoStig! Quote Link to comment

+Gushoneybun Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I was there so what I do know is that I was wrong with my guess. Not for me to reveal who it is though You will all just have to wait for Deci and his dongle Quote Link to comment
+hiho9 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 i was there too back home now and the new reviewer is..... i don't even know myself as i was sat outside and couldn't hear Quote Link to comment
+Jaz666 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Deci has indeed been having trouble with his Dongle, several caches in the last few days have only appeared thanks to McDs in Ripon. The new reviewer did indeed reveal himself. A most logical choice. The only clue I'm giving to those who didn't make it to the Mega Event is - they are keeping it in the family. Quote Link to comment

Would it not be possible to actually say who the new reviewer is in black and white... Yep I know, but, I'm sure some have no idea.. Quote Link to comment
