DECLINED - [BUG] Number of Completed (Challenges)

[+puczmeloun]

There's one bug I found: When is complete log flagged by some cachers as inappropriate (because for example cacher doesn't fulfil logging requirements) and the number of flags is enough, flagged log disappear, but in counter of complete logs (on right side of challenge "listing") nothing change and for these "cheating" cachers is challenge still completed in same way as for other "correct logging" cachers...

 

And btw, what's new with UserVoice feedback: Give challenge creators credit and control over their challenges? It's unsustainable status with these unfinished challenges stuff (I know it, I've created 4 of them)...

That is how the system is designed to work. Users can challenge a completion log and with enough flags get it removed from display, but we felt allowing that to affect the stats of the person posting the find was too prone to abuse.

Then let me rephrase: we allow users to flag a completion log on a Challenge, but doing so does not delete the log or remove the completion from the cacher's stats. Instead, it simply removes the log from display on the Challenge page with a note that other users have contested the completion.

So after that, I don't understand why can cache owner delete log. It's also too prone to abuse and it can affect the stats, isn't it?

A cache owner owns a cache and maintains its listing; there is no ownership of challenges.

Well why doesn't a challenge creator owe the challenge? It was their idea, so shouldn't they own the challenge? Maybe I am confused with everyone else why the challenges are different than a cache. Even virtual caches and such are owned by that creator.

But after the Challeges had been released, GS sad, that ownership of Challenges is common (ownership by community). So when neither community can watch, when is requirement fulfil and log at Challenge is correct, who can watch it and delete cacher from Complete list? Reviewers?

[Moun10Bike]

I can only tell you what the design of the feature is, not all of the reasoning that went into making it that way. If you want to discuss these elements of challenge design, I'd encourage you to take it up in the forum devoted to that.

[+puczmeloun]

It's nice that there's special Challenge forum, but without GS responses it's worthless I hope, that after the UserVoice feedback had been closed, that you (GS) will not forgot to thread Give challenge creators credit and control over their challenges with many of, as you sad, discussions about these elements, and GS make something "useful" with Challenges (please...)... Now it's little bit sad...
