+AdamandDom Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hi Just wondering how long it usually takes for the GC reviewers to review a new cache? Regards Quote Link to comment
+ace862 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) The accepted norm is 72 hours. There may be reasons that it can go beyond this at times such as a heavier than normal review workload. The other thing to remember is that reviewers are volunteers with lives outside of geocaching. (I know, I know, I have a hard time believing that too! ) There are times things come up and publishing of caches may be delayed. There are also a couple of things you can do too. First double check that you've actually checked the box to make your cache active. If you haven't done this, the reviewers won't see it. Check your email spam filter. Sometimes emails can get diverted. And lastly, check your cache page for any reviewer notes. Your reviewer may have some things they need clarified or changed. Hope that help some.

+AdamandDom Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 That helps, thanks. Was hoping to get it submitted and also reviewed today but doesn't look like that will happen Quote Link to comment
+ace862 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Sorry, I should have mentioned that 72 hours was the normal maximum. Sometimes, depending on the reviewer, as long as there are no issues with your cache, it could only be a couple hours. Sometimes even less. It really all depends. Quote Link to comment
+AdamandDom Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Ahh okay, thats great. Will probably submit later on today. Regards Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Although Guernsey is not part of the UK, it comes under the review of the UK geocaching volunteer reviewers. You may be interested in the information in the link below, especially the first 5 links in the left column: "Follow the Arrow" - General help / Guidelines / Getting Permission / Magic maps / Help your Reviewer.

+mwellman Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hi Just wondering how long it usually takes for the GC reviewers to review a new cache? Regards Glad to see that your first cache met all the guidelines and thus was published in much less than the 72 hours. And a nice FTF log, too. Enjoy your cache ownership! Quote Link to comment
