+NeoCult Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 wow why did this post get posted 3 times on the forum :s Quote
+Bambography Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 It can vary, Sometimes it can be quicker than you expect, sometimes longer. Since the reviewers are all volunteers its kind of whenever they get round to it! Quote
+Bear and Ragged Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 ...And if you ask, it takes twice as long! From the FAQ's When I submit a new cache for publication, how long will it take to be listed?Each cache that is submitted to Geocaching.com is reviewed by a volunteer, to ensure that the cache meets the Geocaching Listing Guidelines. This process may take up to 72 hours to have your cache posted to the web site. We kindly ask for your patience during this review, especially on weekends when site traffic can be high. Welcome!

+The Blorenges Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) After submitting your new cache, you can expect to get a response from the reviewer for your area within 72 hours. This means that either your cache will get published or the reviewer will put a log onto your cache page if they need to query something or they need more information from you. In practice, if the cache setter is familiar with the guidelines and has done all their homework well, their cache may get published within a couple of hours... It has been known for them to get published within 5 minutes. This doesn't mean you should start getting anxious if nothing happens for a couple of days! The reviewers are volunteers and cache submissions get looked at, at various times of the day and night, depending on when the reviewer has time available MrsB (Don't worry about the multi-post ... You'll get used to it here ) Edited March 11, 2009 by The Blorenges Quote
