+Team MGGPS Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 What is the story on approvers? How are they selected? Are they assigned a certain territory? Is there a list of approvers and their regions? Just curious. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 They are selected by GC.COM based on their experience, knowledge of local rules and regulations and history of working with the authorities in their area to promote geocaching. They are assigned regions they are familiar with and there is no master list that is available to us. It changes constantly. Quote Link to comment
+soreyes Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 By the tone of some of these forum discussions it seems like it can often be a thankless job. But thank you approvers... Quote Link to comment
+Kitch Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I heard through the grapevine. That a new requirement of all future approvers will be a skin thickness test. Quote Link to comment
+carleenp Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 (edited) This thread has some information in it. Here is a more recent thread with information as well. Both of those should answer most of your questions. Edited November 18, 2004 by carleenp Quote Link to comment
+Team MGGPS Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 thanks carleenp, Good thread. For future reference, I don't want to be an approver, I was just curious. TennesseeGeocacher is handling things quite nicely in my neck of the woods. Quote Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I heard through the grapevine. That a new requirement of all future approvers will be a skin thickness test. Actually, you have to remember that reviewers have to drink the Groundspeak milkshake as a prerequisite. It thickens the skin, but others have differing opinions as to what it does. Sorry, but I have to take a break. It is time for my "I love the frog" chanting. Quote Link to comment
