Hit list improvement?

Post by RebornCyclist » 31 July 12 11:16 am

I like looking at the Cache Density and Cache Hitlist views, but I find with both that the frogs and gnomes really clutter it up - even when they're not there.
For example: inside 20km, the reports show I have 34 unfound caches. Of these:
13 are traditionals, multis or trigpoints.
1 is an event that has already been held
20 are moveables, reading the logs of which suggest only 2 or 3 are likely to actually be at the coordinates at which they're listed - the others have had a string of DNFs, the last log was a found (picked up), or they were dropped off at events.
Is it worth modifying the reports so that they exclude moveables and events?

But then someone else will say they want moving cache in their hitlist.
I'm happy to do either, but what one does not want another does.

I thought we resolved the "movables not actually there" problem last time it came up???
