+TheGriefmeister Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hello, Is anyone aware of a way to block either a specific cache or a specific cacher's cache(s)? An example of why I may want to do this is that someone may post a ridiculously hard cache near to you that requires the brains of a harvard scientist to solve. I'm not a harvard scientist so the cache sits there, with no reply of assistance from the cache owner basically messing up my map! Yes, I do have OCD with regards to keeping a nice clean map but there are also cacher's who post either bad placed or poor in general and sometimes I wish I could just block all of their caches so I can't even see them. Anyone? Cheers Richard Quote Link to comment
+Panther&Pine Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Go to the cache page. Choose ignore listing. And away you go. Quote Link to comment
+Just Roger Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 If using GSAK and a macro, use the cache owners ID number rather than their name as they can change the name showing on the cache page. Unfortunately neither this, nor using the ignore list will get them off the map. Quote Link to comment
+drsolly Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 If you have an full case of OCD, as distinct from the partial, then putting a cache on the ignore list doesn't help, because *you* still know it's there. Quote Link to comment

+TheGriefmeister Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Thanks for all the replies. I have managed to ignore the listing but it's still going to ruin my map Perhaps a feature for the future? Doubt it would cost too much to implement. Dr Solly, my OCD is not full blown yet but it's obviously bad enough for me to post on the forum! Now, where's my tissues so I can sanitise the keyboard now ive typed more than 27 words.........
