Cache approval time?

[landc]

Just wondering how long in normally takes to get a cache approved. I put one out last weekend, took if offline briefly on wednesday to make a change, emailed the approver on thursday, and have yet to hear anything from anyone.

 

What is the normal time frame?

 

Thanks,

Larry

I've been wondering the same thing, since I "placed" a cache on the 30th, and haven't had it approved yet, either.

 

Theoretically, it should be within 48 hours, but these guys have a lot of approvals to do, and they're all volunteers.

 

Good luck!

I think NJ Admin (who does NY, NJ and other parts of the northeast) is on a caching vacation. I have two that have been on the queue for two days. Kind of unheard of. He's usually very prompt. Perhaps Keystone Approver will step in?

I've seen 5 min to a week. Depending on what's going on.

Both NJAdmin and Keystone Approver were busy this weekend and away from the computer. I'm back now, I've gone through the forums and I'm about to tackle the long list of caches in my approval queue. It's 11:00 p.m. Never mind about unpacking the car or logging my finds....

 

We do try to be as prompt as possible, and our published service standard is 24 to 48 hours. My approval times range from 5 minutes to more than a week (sometimes I goof up and lose a cache in the shuffle and chaos... I'm human although some have applied other labels.)

Since I don't know that it came across as intended in my post, I wanted to take this chance to thank you both (and every other approver out there) for everything you do.

 

Glad that the two of you were able to get away and (I'm assuming) get some caching in. : )

There are still those out there who aren't even sure if you are female or male, or maybe even both!

 

-- I am looking for cache recommendations for Salem, Mass. Got any?

cortneyofeden - Thanks for the kind words! And yes, both admins were out and about, logging a few caches.

 

MissJenn - thank you for giving me the opportunity to clear up any lingering confusion. Speaking for just me, I can indeed confirm that I am female or male. And, to be precise, Keystone Approver is both.

NJ is usually pretty quick. 48 - 72 hours is about the norm. I've had them approved in less that24 hours also. I recently had one sitting for a week. Sent NJ a quick email asking if he forgot about me. He approved that cache as well as another cache I hid just a few hours earlier that day. If it takes longer than a few days don't panic. It'll get done. I don't think sending a polite email would hurt either. Thanks to all the admins for doing a pretty much thankless job.

And that has made all the difference.
