Recently a fellow cacher & I discovered the remnants of a cache that had been destroyed by vandals; and in my book that was akin to finding the cache, however my colleague insisted no not officially because the log book was destroyed and was not at posted co-ordinates. Understandably we were dissapointed, vandalism + no reward for finding & reporting issue. Perhaps could at least 1 or 2 points be awarded for logging either "Did not Find" or "Needs Maintenance" ? This way at least one gets consolation for trying & reporting valuable info. It seems odd that you get 0.5 points for visiting the dz page, yet zero for being active, in this case.
Zone Bassendean has 3 caches controlled by

Moveables are designed to be moved, not sit in people's homes, right? I've noticed large numbers of moveables with a green tick icon next to them, rather than blue arrow; i.e. unavailable. What incentive can be made to motivate people to move the cache after finding? For example, not allowing them to allocate points to the cache until after logged as moved? This way people who find the cache but not take it also unable to allocate 'bonus' points for their being lazy in not moving it, right? Alternately, an incentive for it to be moved x number weeks of finding, the sooner the better; thus not hoarded indefinately? [stick/punishment] Perhaps dz points be deducted from their total, at rate 1 point per week (after 2 weeks grace), as penalty until they log the cache into new location? Or [carrot/reward] +10 points if moved within same week, +9 after 1 week, +8 after 2 weeks... so on until 0 points after ten weeks expired?
Additionally, separate issue, perhaps consider new GPS co-ordinates must be more than 200m away from previous post? Thus new co-ordinates cannot be same as previous with just one digit changed; for those too lazy to move. [low priority issue]
