[FEATURE] Favourite Points for Events

[+6NoisyHikers]

We attended our first event today and had a wonderful time. Just wondered if anyone thinks it might be a nice idea to be able to award a favourite point for an event - to thank the host, and maybe to have a way to decide if their next event will be one to mark on your calendar?

 

I realize that events get archived so finding out how many points last year's event had would require some detective work - unless the host wanted to include a line mentioning the number on the new event page. "Come join us! 38 Favourite Points in 2009!"

As you said, favorite points are a way to tell others to check out a cache. Favorite an event after the fact just wastes points. Many Events don't even repeat and are one timers so there will be no "next year".

 

If you want to tell the event planners thanks then type it in your attendance logs, as a CO I can tell you a few positive words someone took the time to type out means a whole lot more then 4 seconds to add as a favorite.

Cachers award favorite points to archived caches all the time. If I want to "waste" my points on an event to show my satisfaction, then why can't I?

 

It's absolutely just as useful to me as favourites on any other caches. I can look at the past events hosted by the organizer and determine if that person hosts quality events.

 

And at what point did you read the suggestion that the 6NoisyHikers want to truncate their log and replace it with a favourite point?
