I remember inviting a member to a group and he never got the invitation and then the system kept telling me invitation sen so he never could actually join

Looks like this is also the case here. But you don't need an invitation. Enrollment is on. Just join the group, then I can promote you.

Officer calling the vote should vote? Why bother putting it to the vote, just deny or accept?

Or don't bother to review it in the first place...

 

Yeah, that last is probably a better choice, in many cases. It does make sense in some cases, but not all. Of course the outlying cases simply don't come to mind at the moment, though...

Preserved Machines on Public Display: The difficult thing are all those exclusions. We did not want that, but the category came quite late and there were already a lot of older categories that covered a part of the area. Crossposting is fine, but when all waymarks in a category are by definition are also valid in a second one, we have a problem. So we had to exclude many "machines". No vehicles, no military equipment, no agricultural or household stuff. And the location must be accessible to the public free of charge, so many museum exhibits are excluded as well.

 

 

Preserved Machines on Public Display - FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I've been a true GEARHEAD all my life, and a mechanic since I rebuilt my first engine, a 3.4 litre Jaguar, when I was a teenager.

I find it impossible to walk by an interesting bit of machinery, of any type, without stopping for an long, close look!!!!

I've Waymarked a pisspot full of them, to boot!

AND, I just joined the group!!!

Also, I do several (most?) of the other machinery related categories (surprise, surprise), so I'm quite familiar with all the exclusions.

Probably one of the emails (as are visits on my own waymarks) that were sent to the account you opened your membership with geocaching.com with? I changed the default email address to my current one but the visits (and some others) are still sent to the one I started with.

I am interested in Catholic Churches, if I am needed.  But I don't have much Waymarking experience.

[+Country_Wife]

Artistically Decorated Utility Boxes has only one active officer, and they must be fairly busy IRL, as Wayfrog approved the last batch of waymarks.

This is not the right thread.

Here, I am looking for help in categories where I  am the only active officer, but not the leader.

I am not only not an officer in that category, I have still to find my first submission to it. They are not common in my area.

Indeed, that category could use another officer or two.

I'll see what I can do, given you're willing to become an officer.

I have another great category in my queue that looks like nobody else is caring about.

 

Waterfalls

 

[+FamilieFrohne]

I like waterfalls and wild rivers. Listening to the flow of water (even if it is sometimes really loud) is giving me moments of inner peace.

 

So I'd like to volunteer, even if I only had the opportunity to post only one in the category yet ...

I like them too (even though we only have one in Denmark and it's only 3-4 meters high :-) ) That's why I also want to be an officer in the category

[+pmaupin]

I love waterfalls, especially those that we discover on the islands, where you can also swim there, I would like to be an officer there

[+fi67]

New year, old problem!

 

I have some more categories where my own submissions have been unreviewed for weeks and I have enough permissions to at least start a vote to promote new officers:

Junk Design Houses

Gargoyles and Chimeras

Cityscapes

Professional Sports Venues

 

Let's go.

[+pmaupin]

I still have time and patience for new categories, retirement is great.

[+FamilieFrohne]

I'd like to assist also.

 

* Clearly in the cityscapes category, as the rules are clear to follow.

* Same for the gargoyles.

* Sport is not really mine, but the rules for a publish seem to be clear.

* For junk design houses I'm afraid, that it is not really clear to me, what makes a junk design house and thus is acceptable (and more over what is not acceptable). But if you give some advice, I might be interested.

 

Yours, Erik.

 

[+Country_Wife]

I could help out with any of those. I'm particularly interested in the gargoyle & chimera category, as I just submitted one.

Fine, there is some interest, also via PM and group joins. In a day or two I'll begin with the next step.

[+fi67]

The group votes are over.

 

Welcome!
