As I understand the translation from Catalan, this needs eight logs on unique caches where each contains one letter of the town name VALLMOLL. 1 for L and 0 for O.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

Past publication of a similar geocache is not justification for publication of a new geocache. If a geocache was published that you feel violated the guidelines, you may report it.

Would it be possible to tag a checker for the old challenge https://coord.info/GC4QG4Y? To qualify, you need to log a cache in three different countries on the same day. You need to do this on three different occasions, and the countries need to be different each time (so in total nine countries).by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
That will happen automatically once your cache is published.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
You need special rights to be able to create your own checkers, but once you have that you can write and test checkers as you like. In order to apply for the needed rights, write to Project-GC support.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Checker writers can't see unpublished caches, so you need to supply your challenge requirements.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Yes, that would work fine.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
It doesn't matter which time period you try to limit the finds to. "within a 12 month period" is still a time period, and thus not allowed in a challenge.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

Challenges about contiguous counties or states are not allowed. (Your idea about all counties adjacent to AZ can still be done, though, just that you need to explicitly list which counties are needed. It is a fixed list, not any random set of contiguous counties.)

Actually, items #4 and #5 are not valid. From the challenge cache guidelines: QuoteFor cache pages published after April 21, 2015 with a challenge checker, the owner can confirm the finder's qualification with the checker when the cache is logged as found. No further documentation is required from the finder. You can still of course request that the checker outputs the information in #4by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I can confirm that that cache changed its name from Wheel See to the current name (via a third name), with the initial W disappearing 2018-06-01.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)

It is technically possible, but it's not allowed by the challenge guidelines to have the possible finds restricted to a specific list of caches in this way.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)

You don't need to submit it for review, just create the cache page to get the GC code. In fact, it's not useful to send it for review yet since you won't get it published without the checker.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)

Dein Cache fehlt das Challengeattribut und sollte nicht so veröffentlicht gewesen sein. Du muss es hinzufügen und dann eine Meldung an Project-GC Support schicken, dann kann der Checker wiederaktiviert werden.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

It is not allowed for a challenge to require finds on leap day. Thus, as soon as a cacher has finds on leap day this challenge becomes invalid. (For the record, I have logged 48 caches on leap day but only 30 hidden on leap day.)by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Als ich das verstehe, sollte es möglich sein. Nur 52 Events in ein ganzes Jahr wäre notwendig, und alle am verschiedene Tage. Aber auch in verschiedene Woche, glaube ich. Und wie funktioniert das, über viele Jahre? Was heißt hier "eine Woche", über viele Jahre? Ein Challenge die in ein bestimmtes Jahr vertiggestellt sein muss wäre nicht erlaubt; man muss es über mehrere Jahre machen könby pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Challenges can't require "rare" event types like megas and gigas. I would guess that the same limitation would apply to GPS Maze, Project APE and HQ as well.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
You need to have a reasonable supply of caches for people to find in order to make a challenge. As far as I can see, there is only one virtual and one webcam available here. I'm pretty sure that won't work out. There's four earthcaches for a requirement of two; that might be enough.by pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
> except for adventure labs which are not allowed for challenge caches For the record, it's not OK to *require* lab caches in a challenge but it perfectly OK to *allow* then. If your requirement is to have 1000 logs, that can include labs, for instance. In this particular case it doesn't matter, though, since lab caches are considered locationsless and don't belong to any speby pinkunicorn - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
