Guest JamesBR Posted February 26, 2001 Posted February 26, 2001 These forums list some, including myself, as "junior geocachers" and others as "geocachers". How can I move up the geocaching ladder to become a fully fledged geocacher...or better yet a "senior geocacher"? Quote
Guest cache_ninja Posted February 26, 2001 Posted February 26, 2001 i think it has to do w/how much time has passed since you registered, and how many times you've posted...or some combination thereof.. c/n Quote
Guest Cape Cod Cache Posted February 27, 2001 Posted February 27, 2001 I've been wondering about this as well... I haven't gotten off my God-Forsaken sandbar to find any caches. However, I will place a few in my 'best' areas. Please be nice, this is my 100 acre woods to my Christopher Robin Quote
Guest swangner Posted February 27, 2001 Posted February 27, 2001 Having just had my status change, I can say with some confidence that the change from "Junior Geocacher" to "Geocacher" occurs when you post your 31st message. At least that's what happened for me. Quote
Guest daviskw Posted February 27, 2001 Posted February 27, 2001 Maybe a better way to rate, if its really important, would be to go by how many caches found and how many stashed. Quote
Guest jeremy Posted February 27, 2001 Posted February 27, 2001 The forums and the web site aren't linked, so it's hard for me to inject scores from the site to the forums. We are working to integrate the two soon, however. When we do, we'll have a better way to "rate" folks Jeremy Quote

Guest doc_api Posted February 27, 2001 Posted February 27, 2001 In all fairness, If you rate geocachers on logging or placing caches only, then people in an area where there are no caches to be found are at a distinct disadvantage.

Guest nekosoft Posted February 28, 2001 Posted February 28, 2001 Don't forget that once you make something like 70 posts you get upgraded to Trailguide. (unless the "Trailguide" status is akin to "Moderator", in which case this post serves no other purpose than to further my trek from "junior" geocacher.) nekosoft Quote
Guest makaio Posted March 1, 2001 Posted March 1, 2001 I hadn't really paid much attn to the tag before so I thought I'd post just to see what I am and how many posts I've made. Might just mean I talk too much Well, this made 71 posts and I'm still a "Geocacher" so I guess "Trailguide" is equivelant to Moderator and I can't go any further Matt ------------------ www.gpscache.com 10 507069E 5038901N 45.50361N -122.90951W [This message has been edited by makaio (edited 03-01-2001).] Quote

How can I move up the geocaching ladder to become a fully fledged geocacher...or better yet a "senior geocacher"? I also wondered about this . I don't really care for the title i just like the game . It keeps me tuned up for my orienteering . I try to spend as much time in the outdoors as i can . I always have a map compass or gps with me . I am always looking for this magic lake or great spot out there... (sort of a geocache for me) especially during fishing or hunting season . This provides me with a good hobby in off season's . I have hidden a cache so far and eventually put some more up since this is fairly new to my area .About the reply's (post) i think it is a great way to share info. I enjoy reading them .Have fun :-) Quote
Guest jeremy Posted March 3, 2001 Posted March 3, 2001 I changed the titles. Now everyone is a Geocacher, unless you are an Administrator or a Moderator. Jeremy Quote
Guest jeremy Posted March 3, 2001 Posted March 3, 2001 More like after 100 or so questions about it, it was easier to change the "ranks" than explain it again Jeremy Quote

Guest Steve D Posted March 5, 2001 Posted March 5, 2001 .... and I think it also avoids the problem of these forums getting "clogged" with people simply trying to post as many messages, no mater WHAT they say, just to get a "promotion" out of it. Quote
Guest nekosoft Posted March 6, 2001 Posted March 6, 2001 ...like me. Although I guess this one doesn't count. -- nekosoft Quote
