I just noticed this cache in Germany (I'm going there next week):
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_de ... 9ee62dbff4
It has a cache rating system available that you can put on your cache page. It is available from here:

What a great idea. I know we had a voting thing before but unless you have done all the caches how can you vote properly. This way at least the cache setter gets to know what the others think. I think this would be a good guide.

They are collated when people click on the link and select a rating.

There does not appear to be a check to see the the person rating the cache has done it. This one has 12 votes but only 9 cachers have attempted the cache.

Hi
But if I have just added this to the page, then no one would have clicked on the link to rate it yet.

I clicked once to rate it my self :)

It looks like you are doing something wrong - look at the number of times it has been viewed. It is the same in both caches. Let me investigate...

Caching, what else? :P
In reality, work are sending me to suck the brains of some German geeks for a few weeks.
The PDA and eTrex will of course be fully loaded just in case!

Careful! You know your propensity to run into Kiwi cachers unexpectedly, and there's one based in Jena (umm.. about 3/4 of the way to Leipzig from Frankfurt, if that helps) called Swanny.

..and that Plattdeutsch accent is barbarous! (Sounds rather similar to a Netherlands accent.) :twisted:

Ah, to be beside the North Sea in winter!
