Feature: Filter out Newbie Caches

[+eigengott]

There seems to be a lot of whining about bad low quality not so interesting caches placed by newcomers to the sport, who didn't find many caches (or sometimes even none) before hiding their own. So I suggest another filter element for pocket queries:

 

And

( ) owner has found more than (5 | 10 | 50 | 100 | 500) caches

 

Benefits:

- it doesn't prohibit anyone to place a cache even with a low find count

- it allows anyone whining about newbie caches to put their money PQs where their mouth is and just filter them out

- it's not really discriminating as it doesn't target any specific account

 

Disclaimer: Personally I don't think newbie caches are an issue. I see many good ones out there, as I see many uninteresting caches from owners with a high find count.

How do you filter out the cachers with 1000+ finds, 100+ hides, and still crank out crappy hides?

I placed my first cache after 1 find.

 

That was 8+ years ago and 1079 finds ago. Do you want to filter it out??

I think a "Hide all caches hidden by user" feature would be much more useful.

Or the cachers who put out good hides, but only log Write Note, never logging smilies?
