petewsh Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Couldn't find a code of ethics for geocaching. Is there one regarding treatment of natural areas? Mode of transportation used to reach backwoods caches. Etc. Quote Link to comment
+Criminal Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Yes, here they are: 1. Use common sense in finding a cache. 2. Use common sense in hiding a cache 3. Do to others and their caches as you would like them to do to you or your caches http://fp1.centurytel.net/Criminal_Page/ Quote Link to comment

I am sure there are those that will be MORE than willing to make sure they will now be complicated to the n'th degree... watch and see if I'm not right. Oops, wait, someone already did....

+Prime Suspect Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Sounds like it came from some pseudo philosophy generator. A favorite bit of meaningful, but meaningless drivel it has spite out: "Time is that by virtue of which everything becomes nothingness in our hands and loses all real value." "Don't mess with a geocacher. We know all the best places to hide a body." Quote Link to comment
Kanto Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Well... ...there is some truth in it. If you have patience, then you can find out how what truth any drivel has, can really turn into something practical...only then will it make sense, because it is a final product. Vague principles that are inherent in "pseudo philosophy", as some would call it, are only a small part of the process of making sense of certain things. It may be strange, but it is effective for some people...but not in all situations. Sometimes, its just plain drivel. Sometimes, its not. Can you tell the difference? ______________________________________________ Kanto Quote Link to comment

+RJFerret Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 To further complicate matters, different personality types will see all those things differently. A Myers-Briggs 'N' person will attribute different meanings to things based upon context while an 'S' person will use the dictionary definition. An 'F' will lean toward the feelings and their impace on others while a 'T' who will approach it logically... I've noticed a lot of philosophical types seem to be "_NF_"'s... Enjoy, Randy Quote Link to comment

+Renegade Knight Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Since commone sense is uncommon we are doomed. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Respect for the environment is clear throughout the website: Guide to Creating and Hiding a Cache Cache Listing Requirements/Guidelines The Cache in Trash Out ethic For situations not directly addressed by the rules and guidelines, Criminal's "rule" of just using common sense is, IMHO, a pretty good answer. Unfortunately, in practice we do not always see common sense exercised, and that is why there are so many rules and guidelines! -------------------- Saving the day and approving all the caches... before bedtime!
