Some are perceived to be pointless and just there "for the numbers" and that they are "clogging up the ability look for 'good' locationless geocaches". Note this is not the perception of the site developers, this is feedback, public and private, so let's have a discussion.
GCA lists locationless caches as a way to let those folks who were in geocache poor areas enjoy the fun of finding a location and performing a particular tasks (generally a photo of an object). This is still a very valid reason to have locationless geocaches so there is no plan to remove them.
What we do want to have is a discussion on "how many is too many" for an geocacher to own?
Do we continue with no limit and have hunreds or throusands of locationless geocaches such as (made-up) "log a find on your birthday", "log a find at 2:00pm", "log a find when you visit the website", "log a find when you create a new query", etc?
Do we limit the number of "live" or "active" locationless geocaches that a geocacher can have in play at any time? e.g. You may have up to 5 or 10 locationless geocaches live at any one time. If you want to list another one, you will need to archive another one.
Do we leave the situation as is and allow anyone to list anything, anything they would like?
Have a conversation and let's see what the community thinks.
EDIT:
This is the trend of locationless caches over time.
