Re: Checker request - GC51X1Y - 7 days in a row with at least one specific cache type

Shorrt version - 7 consecutive days with a find on one of the following:

EarthCache, Letterbox Hybrid, Cache In Trash Out Event (CITO), Mega-Event Cache, Wherigoâ„¢ Cache, Groundspeak Headquarters Cache, GPS Adventures Maze Exhibit, Virtual Cache, Webcam Cache, Project A.P.E. Cache, Locationless (Reverse) Cache

Link to the cache page - http://coord.info/GC51X1Y

Thank you!
This type of challenge isn't permitted under the 2016 challenge cache guidelines. From the Help Center article, under the "Not Acceptable" column: "Specifying any element of a cache listing (type, rating, etc.) or find count (above one per day) required during a streak."

EDIT: So sorry, I missed that this was a grandfathered cache.

There is another problem with this challenge. The word challenge is not in the cache title and therefor the checker is on autodisable. Please ask the CO to add this word to the cache title so the checker remains online.

This might be a language issue, but what do you mean "the checker remains online"? Do you mean that the checker will not automatically show up on the geocaching site since "challenge" is not in the title, or will do you mean that the checker might get archived or deleted?

Thanks!

The checker is on automatic disabling because the challenge is not recognised by the system.
The word challenge has to be in the title

So the checker disappears from this site since "challenge" is not in the title of the cache? I sent a note to Adam (the CO) on this as well.

Thanks!

Would x days in a row of any non-traditional caches be acceptable under the 2016 guidelines?

This one is a grandfathered challenge. That said, it would not be published now.

Howdy,

I asked the CO about this one and got the following response.

> I can't include the word "Challenge" because the name is too long. As it stands I only have 5 more characters. If
> I change "Seven" to 7, I can only add "Challeng" which I don't think would be too helpful. Sorry. It's only seven
> days. Surely something like that has to be memorable enough.

I don't know what this means for the checker but it seems this thread is dead.

I'll move this request to ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Thanks for giving it a try.
