I don't always put "Placed with Permission" on my cache pages.
Especially if there is a policy in place. St. Louis County has a blanket
policy so no permission is needed. Just follow their rules and you can
place away.
St. Peters parks would not allow caching but they allowed rollerblading.
After some work from Susan Ring and I believe Rich, they allowed it on
their terms. Everyone who had caches in St. Peters parks archived them
immediately. Had we disregarded their request, we wouldn't have caches
there today. We still have very few caches placed in St. Charles County
parks because of their policies. I don't see anyone just placing caches
in either park system properties based upon the Frisbee Rule....
It doesn't fly here. Bottom line - St. Louis Area Geocaching RULES!!!!
We are #1! <waving puffy #1 finger>

It isn't any more littering than what you do placing a cache where you
have definite permission in a locale that requires it.
As for your second point, I think you're grasping at straws here...what
you speak of are the oranges to my apples. My position and the position
of said unofficial rule is...why should you have to ask permission to do
something in a place that does not requite permission to do virtually
any other lawful activity? It certainly isn't a new concept...peruse the
cache pages in your area or any other area and see what the ratio of
"placed with permission" statements on the cache page vs. ones that do
not have it...

sounds like littering to me. what ever happened to 'take only
photographs, leave only footprints'?
what if I like to tinker around on rusty old cars? am I now able to use
that rationale to leave rusty old cars in public spaces for others to
find so they can tinker too?
