+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Now I'm not sure if it's a new NW approver, old ones back or out of are approvers. But this weekend I noticed a bunch of caches getting approved. In fact they came in waves during the day today. I know recently we've had 9key helping out from Texas. So whoever stepped in I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment
+Logscaler and Red Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 I was thinking there where some new people out there and I am also thinking they are letting caches be closer together then 0.10 miles. I noticed a new cache placed near one of mine and another local cachers, within that magical 0.10 distance for either of the caches. logscaler. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 I think approvers deserve our thanks, whether it takes 2 hours to approve a cache, or two days. They do this for free and I'm sure it takes up time that they could use for other things. They do it because they care about the sport. And what do they get for it? People who bit*h that it took 37 hours for their cache to be approved, or whine about a cache that was denied, or complain that the approver is being "unfair" and even some name calling.

+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted April 7, 2003 Author Share Posted April 7, 2003 I've seen the same thing happen here in southern oregon when 2 caches were approved the same day 40 feet apart. But that was because one was on hold for questioning about the cache while the other was approved. So just a glitch. Anyway I am just grateful for whoever is stepping up. I didn't place any this weekend so I can't tell who was approving. Quote Link to comment
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted April 7, 2003 Author Share Posted April 7, 2003 Brian I agree that they need a vote of confidence and appreciation but from what I've seen lately the complainging in regards to aprpovers isn't that they are slow but that certain areas, like the NW, don't have any working. We know we lost a couple of approvers and have been hoping that new ones would be added. We also know that a couple of users have volunteered only to be told that help wasn't needed. No bashing approvers here. Quote Link to comment
+BDC Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Well I think 9key was busy this weekend because he denied me a cache I put out. Someone else must have had the same Idea as me this weekend because the cache I put out was less then .10 from one that was just approved. I just wasn't quick enough. The few caches I have put out lately have all been approved by people out of Oregon. At least they got approved. Don't hunt what you can't kill! Quote Link to comment

+9Key Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Thanks for the kind words folks! We've been shorthanded in the Great Northwest the last several weeks so I've been trying to lend a hand. BDC - you were beaten to that spot in the park by about three ID numbers. Sorry! Quote Link to comment
+Hoomdorm Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 They've got my thanks. I've only placed 4 thus far but I owe thanks to anyone willing to take their own personal time to read over & approve or disapprove a cache when they don't have to. -------------------------------- Magellan Meridian GPS Handspring Visor Deluxe L.O.S.T. - http://www.kjjeep.com Quote Link to comment

Sometimes the cr*p does go off on some interesting tangents. Two weeks ago I had a geocacher who called him or herself a peace loving German refer to me as a war mongering American for questioning the virtual cache that was submitted. Some seem to forget this is only a game or a sport. erik - geocaching.com admin Quote Link to comment

On that specific topic there was a very intensive discussion in a german list. To my opinion (and most of the posters) this reaction was far off any limit. Quote Link to comment
+ZingerHead Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Chiming in in support of the approvers. THANK YOU! I think I can safely speak for the mostly silent majority that appreciates your hard work. Now please excuse me while I step away from the buttocks of the Website.
