When is there going to be a limit on regulars?

[+WRASTRO]

Uh, oh...

[GOF and Bacall]

When are we going to limit the number of regulars a person can place? It is getting completely out of control, you can hardly go into pristine environmentally sensitive woods without at least a dozen ammo cans or peanut butter jars scattered about, all at the end of a geotrail. I think a lifetime limit of 5 per person should be enough. Really a nice 35mm film can under a Wally World lamp post should be enough. Besides getting these regulars out in the woods is a real drag. You got to walk miles, get eaten by bugs and get all scratched.

...as soon as we get rid of internet trolls...

This is an interesting comment. Is there some reason you did not make the same comment in the "when are we going to limit micros" thread? Perhaps limiting one size is more politically correct than another size. I believe in equality of size.

 

Perhaps because those threads are usually someone who, however misguided, really wants to improve the game. This thread was just someone trying to stir the pot.

 

and how is the game improved by limiting the caches that can be placed? I've done some pretty awesome micros and likewise have done some pretty awful regulars. And I've even done a nano with swag. I have yet to find a correlation between size and quality of the hide.

 

I am not arguing that. Some micros are not lame. Some ammo cans are. The difference between those other threads and yours is that you are trolling and they actually wanted a discussion about changing the game.

Or we could go the other way, and make a SUPER large catagory, where people start using old cars abandoned in the woods or sheds for cache containers,

 

You mean like this one of mine Big Blue Bug

Here is another the ammo box is inside the car

When are we going to limit the number of regulars a person can place? It is getting completely out of control, you can hardly go into pristine environmentally sensitive woods without at least a dozen ammo cans or peanut butter jars scattered about, all at the end of a geotrail. I think a lifetime limit of 5 per person should be enough. Really a nice 35mm film can under a Wally World lamp post should be enough. Besides getting these regulars out in the woods is a real drag. You got to walk miles, get eaten by bugs and get all scratched.

You mean,,, this post is ,,, for real

deleted the troll image for the moment.

 

Jholly is actually quite prolific forum regular. Not a troll. If you notice, he has a post count of over 3000. Just sayin' He may have meant his OP with a little bit of humor, but I don't think it's very nice for you to call an obvious regular a troll. Not cool.

Limiting the caches that can be place has been done throughout the history of geocaching.com. Some feel that taking some cache types off the site - virtuals, locationless, webcams was a detriment to the game some feel it improved the game. Limits on micro sizes would probably have the same effect - some would feel it's a detriment, some would feel a limit would be an improvement.

Some will interpret this thread as a tongue-in-cheek mocking of all "limit the micros" threads. Others will interpret it as a blatant mockery (TWU's words) of the most recent "limit the micros" thread. Either way, it demonstrates perfectly the pointlessness of screaming "troll!", whether it's a troll or not. The thread probably would have died days ago without any of the troll posts.

 

No point in answering the original question, because I don't think the OP really wanted one.

[+TheAlabamaRambler]

Yeah, it's obviously the girl on the right pointing her finger at you.

[+TheAlabamaRambler]

Why are you such an an idiot?

My wife's been asking that for 37 years, every time I do something dumb, like say something.

[+Stripes]

Here I thought the OP was a parody of all the 'why are there so many micros?" threads.

It is. Some people take life in general way too seriously, and in this forum that's almost always a mistake.

[+Boxcars]

I know I'm new, but I'm pretty sure the point of Geocaching is not to eventually find every single one in existence ( I know a few may beg to differ ). Find your own style and enjoy it. There's no rule that says you have to go into the woods.

Regulars can, on occasion, troll.
