redregis Posted March 16, 2003 Posted March 16, 2003 My cache "Dunes du Touquet" has not been approved yet... According to what I understood, people who validate the caches are voluntary. Does have reasons which can slow down this validation ? - the use of the HTML - the use of a foreign language (French) - etc Thank you to answer me ;-) Cordially, RedRégis Sorry for my poor english, I use Babel Fish...
+erik88l-r Posted March 16, 2003 Posted March 16, 2003 Several possible reasons - On the weekend the approval queu can get rather long - several hundred caches awaiting review. We try to use regional approvers - the European approver would know more of the local customs and laws than I would, for instance. He may still be asleep. Language should not be a problem, though it does help if a cache is posted in English as well as your native language. That helps the cache approver and will later help visitors to your country who bring a GPS with them. erik - geocaching.com admin
+Renegade Knight Posted March 16, 2003 Posted March 16, 2003 - etc. This also plays an important part. The regional approver could be out doing some Geocaching for a change. He could have been ill and in bed for the week. You never knwow. In general it takes longer to get a cache approved on the weekend than on weekdays. Wherever you go there you are.
+erik88l-r Posted March 16, 2003 Posted March 16, 2003 quote: He could have been ill and in bed for the week. Actually, he did break a rib or something a few weeks ago and was out of commision for awhile. I don't know if that was cause or effect re. being in bed for a week. (where's the instant graemlin for "a straight face"?) ~erik~
