[Awaiting feedback] GCA38CF - Decade Old Streak

I would like an updated checker for this challenge as I tried to clone it from one out west but it is giving me issues. No luck contacting the original person who designed the checker so hoping a new one will work.

The challenge is to find a cache for 12 months in a row, starting at anytime and can overlap into the next year. The caches you find must be 10 years old as placed on the day you find them. All previous finds count so many may have completed this challenge already without knowing.

New cachers have an advantage as they likely have not cached out their home area yet.

So if I was to find a cache today, Jan 22, 2023 the cache would need to have been placed on or prior to Jan 22, 2013

I doubt that this is publishable under the current Challenge Cache Guidelines:

Quote
Challenge Cache Guidelines - Section 9: Time-Limited

NOT ACCEPTABLE
Specifying any element of a cache page (type, rating, etc.) or find count (above one per day) required during a streak.

Quote
Challenge Cache Guidelines - Section 10: Source of Criteria

NOT ACCEPTABLE
Restricting finds to caches published prior to a particular date.

OK.

I can see how Section 10 - Source of Criteria would halt this challenge so that stops it dead.

I am not however clear how Section 9: Time-Limited would apply for a streak as this would only require one cache per month, not even one per day.

Thanks for the feedback.

Well, you called it a "Decade Old Streak", so the guidelines related to streaks are going to apply.

Even still, just because it's not one per day, it doesn't make it not a streak: you're needing to keep up a certain activity, every month, for a period of time.

However, myself (nor any of the volunteers here) are Reviewers. If you chat with your local Reviewer team and gain approval, we're happy to make a checker.
