Dear volunteers,

I would like to place a challenge, and I ask for a checker.

My Checker request is:
To complete the challenge the geocacher needs to take (and upload on the site...) at least 150 pictures.

Many Thanks,
Best Wishes from France,
Marc.

I am sorry but this kind of challenge is not acceptable according to the guidelines.

Please read https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206#criteria

10. Source of Criteria
Challenge cache criteria must be based upon caches with the seeker’s logs: Found it!, Attended, Webcam Photo Taken.

Webcam photo logs are acceptable but photos in gallery are not.

Dear Vogelbird,

Oups.

The rule is a little bit ambiguous.

Anyway, would be possible to ask the geocacher to own a badge by looking in the BadgeGen profile?

My request for the checker would be:
To complete the challenge the geocacher need to have obtained at least the gold "The Shutterbug" badge.

The problem is that badges are not recognised by Groundspeak and therefore no "Source of criteria"

The guidelines are

Challenge cache criteria must come from information broadly available on Geocaching.com and must be verifiable through information on Geocaching.com.

Dear Vogelbird,

Ok :-(. Well, I am going to propose something else. Thanks for your answer.

Best Wishes,
Marc.
