You need all rules for the challenge on gc.com and it has to be "must be verifiable through information on Geocaching.com." IE the rules has to be on that website and all information the validate.Quote
Concerning your feedback: I know that you mustn't purely rely on external software so I said in the listing text that users can also send me their geocaching.com stats and point out how they earned their 30 points. That's not a one click solution but shouldn't take too long either.
It's a bit strange that Groundspeak requires a challenge checker on PGC but does not allow PGC as a tool to prove you have completed the challenge.
That a similar challenge was published before the new guidelines is irrelevant. A challenge published with the new guideline can be relevant for complains about inkonsistens. But notice that the guidelines has been updatedQuote
The challenge can be solved without FTFs; they merely help. There is an identical challenge here:
https://coord.info/GC59KN3 which was published less than 2 years ago. For that reason I hoped that the reviewers would allow a copy in a different region.

c) and d) There are only four criteria which cannot be calculated from the official geocaching.com public profile page: Different cache types in one day (the user could supply the data, though, and it would be verifiable through his finds list); FTFs (not recognized by Groundspeak); gemstone badges; photo uploads with found-logs (because the gallery may contain pictures for DNFs etc.). All the other information (and I checked this thoroughly) can be obtained by looking at just four different pages in your profile: Statistics, geocache hides, geochache finds and trackables.
The challenge is a bit harder to meet if you discount the four items I mentioned, but it is still not a problem. In my own case, I got 40.89 PGC points, but only 24.59 points from Groundspeak - so I wouldn't qualify for my own challenge yet. However, it would only be a matter of weeks until I did. So in my eyes, it's still a valid challenge
