+DENelson83 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) I just came up with this. I borrowed from the system of flags used in auto racing and used the flags to describe the state a geocache is in. Available to find Needs maintenance Temporarily disabled Proximity violation (within 160 m of another cache, only seen by a reviewer) Should be archived (only seen by a reviewer) On your ignore list (from the use of a white flag to mean "I surrender", only seen by you) You found it Gee, I come up with such crazy concepts, don't I?

+Allanon Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 "Crazy" is not the adjective I'd use... Quote Link to comment
+HouseOfDragons Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 If it's on your ignore list, how will you see the little white flag given that you're ignoring it? Quote Link to comment
+DENelson83 Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 If it's on your ignore list, how will you see the little white flag given that you're ignoring it? The fact that it's white and placed against a white background will make it easily ignorable itself. Quote Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 The color issues that were raised with your previous suggestion would be an issue here, as well. Quote Link to comment
+DENelson83 Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) The color issues that were raised with your previous suggestion would be an issue here, as well. Understood. No one has to use it, but it can have value for a few people... Well, maybe one person. Edited November 15, 2009 by DENelson83 Quote Link to comment

+EscapeFromFlatland Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 What if you're colorblind? Is it possible to use the flag system in the forums? For example, can I White Flag DENelson83? Quote Link to comment
