Agreed with the one entry per owner.
Tasmania's feed is still full of moveables from last year, and my feel is that the bulk of them are not at the coordinates listed, either because they've been muggled, collected but not logged, collected and logged but not moved, or taken out of the game but not archived.
With the owners not being the hiders, there doesn't seem to be any chain of responsibility, either - the owner gets DNFs and notes, but isn't in a position to check, while the last hider doesn't see the notes.
Another couple of thoughts:
1. Could we have a cleanup of the database before it starts (perhaps a note to the owner of any moveable that hasn't been logged for 6 months, asking them to consider archiving?).
2. Can we have real moves/hides, rather than handing them to each other, or handing them round to everyone at an event (after which there seem inevitably to be a couple which noone knows the subsequent location of), and the odd practice of having them "hidden" in one's front yard for collection. There was a cache last year that was published and hidden by cacher A, found by cacher B, handed it back to cacher A, who handed it to cacher C, who "hid" it in cacher D's front yard (or maybe just gave it to them), picked up by cacher E, hidden, found by cacher D, "hidden" in the front yard of cacher A, who archived it - less than two weeks after it had been published. Is it even anything like geocaching?
