In this time I will publish all waymarks waiting longer than 7-10 days. If the problem still remains after this periode I will contact the leader with the please to promote another active officer. If the leader won't take action I'll take action together with Groundspeak. We will decide ad hoc if we replace the leader or if we just add another active officer. Sounds like a perfect plan. Thanks a lot. Quote

I don't have an exact number. All I can say is, that the number of 'totally inactive and abandoned categories' is pretty low (<5). In about 30 categories the leader/officers need(s) longer (about one month) to review the waiting ones. So compared to our total count of 1,105 categories the system is running fine. For sure it's just a snapshot and this could change fast (e.g. if a very active officer stops Waymarking). Quote
+elyob Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 In some of those categories, regular officers have approved submissions after wayfrog's intervention. Just having wayfrog's participation may be motivating some officers to return to their reviewing duties. 2 Quote
+pmaupin Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 I've just been named leader in the "Orientation Tables" category, and I'm available for other categories if you need help. Quote

Has anyone that is interested in category management reached out to these leaders and officers and ask that they can join and help out? I'm assuming that enrollment is off, and in some cases everyone has vacated the category but they are still active paying members of Groundspeak. I feel that being a paying member, Waymarking is still a perk that customer is paying for and should still be treated as such, active or not. I have (with no success). The category "Outdoor Stations of the Cross" (open enrollment: OFF) has a leader and 2 officers. One of the officers had his last login on 12/12/2012. The other two I have sent an E-Mail via their geocaching account, because that's where they had their last login. In both e-mails I offered to help reviewing and both e-mails remain unanswered. Hopefully, they will pay more attention, if they receive emails from a site admin, but I wouldn't be surprised, if they have a special mail account for geocaching/Waymarking that they never check for new mails.

+elyob Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Those categories are still viable for visits even if there are no new creations. Many waymarkers collect only visits. Edited August 26, 2017 by elyob Quote
