GOF and Bacall Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I think a challenge creator deserves the credit for their creation. No matter if the results were good or bad they put the effort in. With GS not really having provided for that what's a person supposed to do? I suggest a "created by" line at the end of your description. That way people will know who to blamecredit for the content. Quote Link to comment

+Max and 99 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Geocachers could add a list of their created challenges to their profile. Quote Link to comment

AZcachemeister Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Both good ideas, if you are going to opt-in. Quote Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Both good ideas, if you are going to opt-in. Obviously we are. You've made it clear that you are not. That's cool. No need to repeat yourself. Quote Link to comment
+SeekerOfTheWay Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Why are people so upset over this. Geez. I'm excited to do some things I normally wouldn't! Live a little, lighten up. Laugh maybe. Quote Link to comment

+Mr. 0 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) That's odd, it looks like earlier challenges do list the creator. The first comment says "XXXXX created this challenge." However the newer ones don't seem to have that. I wonder if some creators are deleting that first comment, or did GS make a change to help prevent retribution down votes/flags? For example, this one has the creator note Challenge 1 This one created more recently, doesn't Challenge 2 Edited August 20, 2011 by Mr. 0 Quote Link to comment

No need to repeat yourself. And no need for you to repeat yourself either... Have fun with them, I wish you much luck. Quote Link to comment

Still, I think GOF's idea is a good one. That first log is going to scroll off the page very soon. The challenge creator should be in/on the challenge listing somewhere. Quote Link to comment

We all know the published log scrolls of the front page and into obscurity. I don't know how others feel about it but I am proud of my creations. I think I showed restraint in not making the "created by" line the first line of the description. Quote Link to comment
