- I have been meaning to do this for quite some time, but the recent discussion on this newsgroups has forced me to make a stand. Due to the on-going debate about the disparity in cache distribution, physical location and proximity, container types and shades of hiding techique, under-rating and over-rating by cache placers, difference between a 1/1 virtual and a 5/5 multi, I have made the following changes regarding how SLAGA members are rated on the geostl.com Member Stats page: Locationless finds will be counted as -1. The more you find, the lower your rating is. (If you've ever logged a yellow jeep as a locationless cache, any finds you log in the next 6 months are not counted). Virtuals and web-cams are counted as 0. Find all you want; I don't care. Micro finds are counted as .99 finds (I supposed they are worth something). Event caches are only counted if I happen to also be at the event, too. If the cache is within 100 yards of a house or a playground or a school, you get 1 point for NOT hunting it. If you find a cache with a group, you all have to split the find evenly amoung all of you. And all fraction finds are rounded down :-) Any cache that took me 30 minutes or more to find, the cache placers is penalized 1 find. Any cache that tooke me 30 seconds or less to find, the cache placer is penalized 1 find. If you log a Mohmer letterbox, your find count is reset to 0. Any questions?
