[Cancelled] Checker request: GC8GPEG Debunk a Dozen DNF's
July 28, 2020 05:04PM
I'd like to place a challenge cache that encourages cachers to hunt for caches that other cachers have DNF'd. This is modeled on this challenge cache in Pennsylvania (which I've qualified for and found):

https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC32T65_ych-challenge-debunk-a-dozen-dnfs?guid=aaa64e7f-79ae-494d-8c08-fb03084fb4ac

The checker needs to look through your found logs to see if the log prior to yours is a DNF. Ideally it would count how many DNF logs before your found log, but I could make the challenge be that you had to find a cache after at least one DNF on 12 different caches.

Unfortunately that's against rule 5 of the challenge cache guidelines:

Standard for Criteria: Challenge criteria must be positive and require that a geocaching goal be achieved. Criteria may not be for a negative achievement such as DNF logs.

I did see that, but I thought it would be alright as the challenge isn't to log DNF's yourself, but to find caches after others have DNF'd them.

Well, apart from being against the guidelines, the DNF logs are also not accessible to the checker scripting system, so it's a moot point.
