Vulgar cache got approved

[+Gorak]

I suppose it is just human nature for some to feel compelled to impose their morality on those who do not share their belief systems.

 

Humans! And you wonder why your species is doomed...

I have deleted my log in the cache page and I do accept her willingness to edit the log. She is right, I certainly should have tried to ask her first, but I really expected a sour result from doing so. I was totally wrong in that regard and have learned from it. I truely hope her life goes as well as her log indicates and that she finds more caches than any of us.

Since it is the name of the town where nthe cache is hidden, I wonder if the name of this cache would get censored here...

 

Probably less controversial to go cache hunting around Assmanshausen, not far from our old cache stomping grounds in Germany.

A family show here in Canada called Corner Gas. Cafe owner Lacey loses the last two letters of the cafe sign on her roof. Lacey says "Where's my f and e. Someone snickers, Lacey says "Oh grow up!" Totally harmless and family oriented cause the kids won't get it,just like in "deed"

[+EscapeFromFlatland]

I suggest the GPS-Hermit come to Portland and preach his morality in the spring when I put out a series of caches at both local clothing optional beaches.

I never laugh so hard after reading this thread.

 

I really disagree with the OP.

 

add me to the list, totally hilarious

 

and those worried about their kids reading it, please explain to me why would your kid even be able to "translate" innuendos?

Oh, come on, now!! Relax. How were you conceived, anyway? Besides (checking the cache owner's profile), she's not hard to look at!

[+dakboy]

should it have been approved?

Sorry. All it got from me was a "Meh".

I just hosted an event called Hookers & Beer, so I might be biased.

 

Im sure by Hookers you meant people who like to crochet.

No, he clearly meant rugby players

 

On the actual topic, read into cache names whatever you want. What you see may be more indicative of your own thoughts than the CO's. If you don't like the cache name, put it on your ignore list and be done with it.

 

This country is entirely too hung up on "dirty" natural parts of the human body & human nature in and of itself. But hey, we can show dozens of people getting murdered on a TV show on broadcast TV at 7 PM, that's all cool.

[Clan Riffster]

that's all cool.

Never did figure that one out.

Two consenting adults, expressing their love for one another? "Don't Look, Ethel!"

A guy in a hockey mask hacking up college kids with a machete? "Ethel, the kids want more popcorn!"

Thirty-some years ago, I worked for the agency in Florida which issues license plates. At the time, "prestige tags" were new -- the ones where you choose your own letters and numbers for your plate, and increase your taxes in the process. An application came in for a plate to read SCREWS. After review, it was approved. After all, it was the guy's last name. (Uncommon according to one reference, #21,900 in the US. Must be a regional thing. I find 17 phone listings under that last name in Tallahassee alone.)

I only saw the edited version of the cache linked by the OP. But judging by the number of caches placed in recent weeks, the CO is enthusiastic. Judging by the "in deed" and the "deed in high school" caches she had a better time at that age than I. And if I am ever in her part of the world I would stay at her Inn.

What's to figure out? We're an uptight puritanical society that's so scared of our own sexuality that we've demonized the human body while simultaneously making porn a multi-billion dollar industry.

 

If this "innuendo" is too much, don't ever catch Two and a Half Men on broadcast TV by accident. Or if you do, make sure the PTC is on your speed-dial.

[+BlueDeuce]

Again I am asking - if you were an approver/reviewer etc would you have approved this cache!

 

I don't know as I don't have reviewer experience and the instructions on what caches can and cannot be approved as set down by gc.com (yes I said approved)

 

From my experience with caches being published, my own and others, yeah it did skate the line. Not everyone would think so, okay whatever.

 

There is absolutely nothing wrong with contacting a reviewer to ask them if the cache should have been published. If the reviewer doesn't see a problem and you still don't agree you can contact gc.com directly.

 

Personally I wouldn't have brought it to the forums, or the cache owner. If gc.com decides to un-review a cache, that needs to be a conversation between them and the cache owner. I might have brought the issue to gc.com but that's about all the involvement I should have in the matter.

Even if you are not 'uptight' you still have to follow gc.com guidelines to have a cache listed. You could mention French Television but it doesn't relate to getting a cache listed now does it?

[knowschad]

I didn't see a problem until I read the description. "BYOP. Log only. "? "Parking spot"? Disgusting! I feel dirty even posting those quotes.

What do you suppose "BYOP" really means, anyway?

 

 

OMG!! No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are so right! Especially amongst adolescents on the internet!

[JohnX]

That is an engineering term involving ball bearing causing measurements to be perfectly accurate!

"my cousin vinny" not a vulger term!

 

I find some member's ejaculations to be both ignorant and incorrect.

 

Oh my! I seem to have posted "member's ejaculations". I would add a "rolling eye" smiley but I would consider that to be vulgar.

I don't really see your issues with it. It But I guess its a generational thing. Far more vulgarity out there in the world. Hello Kim Kardashian!

 

What I find vulgar is the use of religion as swag in caches. That really gets my goat. Can I report all those too? What else can we report as offensive?

[+The red-haired witch]

[+FireRef]

This was interesting to read through - can someone post the original text of the cache page so we can compare it to what's up there now?

 

I think the OP is a little overboard on this one.

[+releasethedogs]

There are a lot of Puritans on these boards. You really are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

[g_o_caching]

My line spacing must be too narrow to read everything the OP thinks he sees between the lines.

[+BlueDeuce]

I think the OP is a little overboard on this one.

 

I've reported stuff that even the gc.com rep responded with a (to paraphrase) HOLY CATS! I've also reported things that I said, does this cross the line? Sometimes they've said yes and sometimes they've said no.

 

Yeah, not everyone has the same set of standards, but I'm not looking for a consensuses. I'm going to report whatever I think isn't appropriate.

 

I might bring the topic to the forums if I thought that I could discuss it without being told that I can't handle offensive things or that I'm part of dooming our species.

 

If you think a cache isn't appropriate report it to gc.com. If you are not sure that you should report it, I would recommend talking to a fellow cacher who will give you proper advice

For the records, I believe the cache name and description have been edited since this thread was started. Nevertheless, I also believe the OP was the one that decided what "the deed" meant. What word starts with * and ends with ***? Firetruck. You get my drift, even with the asterisks.

Okay, so that might be a discussion to hold with the gc.com reviewer, eh? - Is this cache about boinking or am I reading it wrong?

[+TerraViators]

Sex isn't vulgar. I don't find the cache page inappropriate In any case it's up to the parents to decide what the kids read. Keep them off that cache page if you find it vulgar.

 

Little kids won't even get the reference. Older kids may, and so what? I guess no harm if they already know!

 

I like caches with a personal meaning behind them!

+1

 

It doesn't bother me. If there are folks who are offended they can hit ignore. Even when I was a small kid I knew "big kids" did this kind of stuff. Kids old enough to understand the inuendo already know about the "deed." Smaller kids won't understand it. Not that big of a deal.

Vulgar and inappropriate? Definitely. But, unfortunately, that's the way Geocaching is heading. Sad. I found that out with the cache outside the porn shop. "Slow Poke". "Adults will understand the title when they see the location." Puerile humor. Nope. No guidelines violation. Sad to say. Oh, well.

How's this for 'inappropriate'? Members Only Cache

I think it's the fora that are 'family friendly', not the caches. (So stop talking about sex!)

Well, it's true. There is no "f" in whey. There is one in futile and that's what this topic has become.

It is not only about boinking it is about the exact location of where it happened in parking lot and celebrating the event on a PG rated web site. The cache owner has graciously and wonderfully removed all the offense and written me a wonderful letter explain it was never her intent to offend. The issue is closed.

 

It might be worthy to note that of all those who disagree with my objection to the cache, all maintain a standard in the way they post to this forum. They don't cuss, they don't cross the line, and they don't have caches that do. That said alot. Why aren't they being vulgar in the forum - I guess they have their limits.

So where does GC draw the line? A person could twist there way to make a lot of word meanings “vulgar” to someone/themselves, if not in this society then others. Maybe all cache names should just be random letters and numbers.

7734, GC1V08 cache would that make everyone happy? Someone would still find a reason to P & M.

[Mr.Yuck]

I think some people try too hard to be offended...

 

If you can be offended by that then you must be apoplectic by what you see on the Disney Channel!

 

 

I find it inapropriate that this hider has hidden over 100 mostly roadside caches since joining last summer. We shall see how well these things are maintained, eh? I'm guessing probably not that well, as time goes by.

 

Actually, I just wanted to quote this particular post because I like all the little alien icons.

 

EDIT: And yes, I did notice most of them were edited by the time I posted. Except I think the 1st one is the series (at least as of the time I'm posting this) has not been edited. So seeing that, you could actually sign me up for an "I boinked" (or "I got boinked") in this parking lot in high school as being inappropriate.

The problem with wondering where GC draws the line is making the assumption the cache page as submitted is what is seen after publication. It could well be that the cache page was rather tame and PG rated but was edited after publication. If that is the case the listing should have been edited to remove content and archived and locked with an entry made in the CO's file about not playing nice.

 

But reading the reviewer forum tonight would have been interesting. Are there any WikiLeaks of the reviewer forum on the net somewhere?

Only it didn't say she got boinked. It said she did the deed here in high school and explained that the deed was working at her first job. Then in the description there was an ellipsis ... and a mention that it's a majical (sic) place. When someone infers that the CO was placing the cache to commemorate where she boinked it only tells me something about where the mind of that someone is. If a child were to infer this from what was written you may already have problem and it wasn't caused by this cache. You might worry about snickering when you read this and then have to explain to a child what was funny. Of course you could answer that you were laughing at the way she spelled magical.

My bad, now I get it!! I now am 100% in support of the "I got boinked" series.

 

I lied, I have no freaking clue what you're talking about. Aleister Crowley had an alternative spelling of "magic". Is the occult involved in some way?

 

For the record, I think "Vulgar" is way overboard. But I'll stand by moderately inappropriate. But I guess with 100+ hides in 4 months, you have to come up with cache names somewhere.
