Yes, it is more complex than that. If it was a matter of just creating a new tag, someone would have done so. A new script takes much more time and effort.by sumbloke - Miscellaneous
Okay, I have modified the tag: http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6B1R6/21712 In future, please make it clear that you're requesting a change to a checker (preferably by contacting the tagger directly by clicking the link next to the "Tagged by:" on the checker page) as this forum is more for requesting new checkers.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
The reason I say it would be arguably against guideline 14 is the "Competition rather than achievement" part of the not acceptable listing. In the more usual case, as soon as a cache hasn't been found for 6/12 months you're competing with other cachers to find it. In this challenge variant, as soon as the average has ticked over the threshold, you're competing withby sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Additionally, the existing similar challenges are from before the new guidelines came into effect. I'm not aware of any similar challenges being published after the moratorium ended.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
This is the second time you've requested a checker for this GC code after it has been given a checker. If you want a checker to be updated, please contact the tagger directly (in this case me). If you want a new challenge checker, please get a new GC code.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
If you're making requests for multiple similar checkers in the future (as implied by the "so far" in your reply), please do so in one post.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
"Lonely cache" challenges are usually based on finding caches that hadn't been found for at least 6/12 months before your find. These are against the new guidelines, such as 14 Positive Challenge Criteria. The challenge you proposed is arguably against that guideline as well, but you've stated that you found a reviewer who has given it pre-approval.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Here you go: http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6K641/21718by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
And that challenge cache has been archived by Geocaching HQ because it doesn't comply with the guidelines.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Yes, that seems to be valid configuration and you qualify: http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6MH8T/21713by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Oh, so just at least 11 types and at least 4 countries? That's easy: http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6B1R6/21712 You qualify and I would as well if lab caches counted...by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Here you go: http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6MGTM/21711 Once you've got a second 1.5/4.5 and a second 4/4.5 you'll be able to get it published...by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

Can you get to the Q&A system? This sort of bug report belongs there: http://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=bug-reportsby sumbloke - Miscellaneous
I provided the link in my first reply: http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6M9JX/21680by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Here you go: http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC60KEM/21708 I have set it up to allow all cache types except the virtual types: Earth, Virtual, Webcam and Locationless There is no other way for a checker to detect whether you have physically found a cache. You may wish to reword the challenge conditions to match what's being checked (or you might get the challenge rejected).by sumbloke - Miscellaneous
I can't see any scripts that could be used to check for 11 types between four or less countries, so a new script would need to be written. To be honest, I can't see too many people who have 11 types found not qualifying for this and that would be a much easier checker to tag.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Is that 11 types in each of four countries, or 11 types between the four countries?by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
And http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC51M41/19864 since that one doesn't even correctly validate the challenge conditionsby sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
There appear to now be three different tags created by you: http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC51M41/5786 http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC51M41/21691 http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC51M41/19864 Please disable and/or remove the extra tags so we can (a) keep the checker system tidy and (b) not give users inconsistent resultsby sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
There are other checkers similar, but only for grandfathered challenges. The new guidelines prohibit this sort of challenge, under guideline 9. Time-Limited Not Acceptable: Time-limited caching: as in some number of finds per day, week, month, or year. Example, Busy Day, 50 finds in a day, 500 finds in a month, etc. (new 2016) https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=206by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)

In your project-gc ProfileStats, there's a tab for Badgegen. The Badgegen system was started as a macro for GSAK, awarding different levels of badges for different levels of achievement (for example, "The Geocacher" badge, bronze level is awarded after 400 finds). Project-gc re-implements most of these badges. They are somewhat similar to challenge caches, but do not require you toby sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Changed.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6M9JX/21680 Unfortunately, it looks like you're going to have to wait until next year to get it published, because you're missing 6 April.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
It's definitely feasible, but I'm not aware of any script which can do it already so it will require a new script to be written (or SeekerSupreme's "Pair of caches X distance apart" script to be adjusted)by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Removed.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
It looks like it created the new tag before your computer crashed. The link to the checker is: http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6KTF3/21640by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Hang on, I just noticed your other thread for GC6M9WE. Which one do you want to use for this challenge?by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
I have created a checker for 11 types, since PGC does not detect lab caches and you only have 11 qualifying types as far as the checker is concerned: http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6K2GF/21679 Let me know if this is acceptable.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
