new trend?

The cache is being maintained. The reviewer has no reason to intervene. The owner should re enable it. The owner should keep it just as it is if thats how they want it. I haven't attempted it, but if any cacher doesn't like the cache or thinks its too hard or whatever, just ignore it.

I think someone snitched on Fireman about his cache. Roadrunner wouldn't just disable a cache all by himself.

Not it.

I agree. I imagine one of the cachers who has spent time looking for it whined to the reviewer. Thats the cacher(s) who should ignore it for a while. The owner can make their cache as hard as they want. It's up to the finder to decide which cache they spend their time at. It is not the place of the finder to tell the owner how to hide their cache and it's especially not their place to enlist a reviewer to bully the owner in to changing the cache.

The owner should re enable it.

I heartily agree.

Some folks enjoy those caches. They should be allowed to have their fun, as the rest of us are allowed the type of caches we enjoy finding.

I think some folks forget that they do not NEED to find every cache.

Saw this over on the GC forums.

some interesting reading

There are cachers out there who make puzzle caches that are not meant to be found. They'll take coordinates and wrap it in 10 different ciphers and no one really cares. Throw a nano in some rocks and let the fireworks begin. Those kinds of hides are when the hider doesn't have the imagination to do a real 5 difficulty hide. I don't do em' because I haven't thought of a good one yet and probably won't either, I'm not that creative.

I'm finally taking my rock climbing course with rappelling and hopefully after that I can put out a 5/5 that worthy of my name.
