[GeoSTL] Re: locationless caches

IMHO I'm glad they are making the restriction.
I think the locationless caches are detracting from our sport.
I have logged a couple in the past but will not do any more of them.

  Subject: [GeoSTL] locationless caches




  I created a locationless cache yesterday (River Ferrys) and it was rejected 
because it must have a fixed set of coordinates. I don't completely agree with 
the reason this was rejected, but at least some rules are being put in place.

        You can [delete] or [encrypt] this log entry.

        I'm sorry but we cannot post your cache. 

        Locationless caches are always a gray area but Jeremy has asked that we 
post only fixed objects - objects that a subsequent visitor would be able to 
visit using the coords posted by the original finder. I realize that with a 
stretch you could say that a ferry is generally at one of two coordinates 
unless directly between the two, but the intent of the restriction is to stop 
the flood of planes, trains, automobiles, helicopters, boats, fire engines, and 
so on, and keep locationless caches to places of a fixed historical or scenic 
nature.
