I reckon things are heading that way here as well ... TBs get snaffled ... I am sure geocoins will as well. Just the way people are sadly.Grank wrote: So the state of play has deteriorated there to a level where some are seeking alternatives. Where people respect others "possessions" (ie Geocoins don't get snaffled) and caches of quality exist.
That is my take. We have guidelines/rules that say move on the bug or geocoin as one example. Does not stop people stealing them.Grank wrote:Now as the person concerned was GC based it would appear that rules/guidelines are not the answer. The manner in which people choose to participate is what will determine the level of enjoyment others will get out of play.
I like the idea of an "introductory brief" or set of pointers for new folks in particular as to what is consider good form rather than a set of guidelines which quickly become rules or is that the same thingGrank wrote:If there is no introductory brief upon entering play people with the best intentions will go awry.
One thing that I would like to see somewhere, maybe as a sticker in the state forums is any regulations that need to be complied with, e.g., no caches in caves on CALM managed land; no physical caches in Bold Park etc. I guess each state has its own particular set of land management regulations. Being able to point folks to these would be helpful. I know TLC has some info on their site in respect of WA , but it can be hard to find if not bookmarked. Maybe we can put this in the forums for each state?
