I've gone ahead and set that up for you. https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC98QNN/59806 However, keep in mind that the Guidelines mandate that Quote should be simple, and easy to explain, follow and document. A long list of rules or restrictions may prevent publication. Depending on your Reviewer, this may cause trouble. Make sure to present these individuals requirements clearly.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Unfortunately, I believe that your proposed Challenge is not publishable under the current guidelines. Your local Reviewer will almost certainly deny publication. Quote 10. Source of Criteria ACCEPTABLE — Challenge cache criteria may be based upon these geographic areas: countries, states/provinces, counties (or their local equivalent). NOT ACCEPTABLE — Challenges based on geographic areaby Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
I believe that I read on the forums somewhere that D/T art is "user-defined" and thus is not allowed. What guideline that breaks, I do not know.by Hügh - Miscellaneous
That sounds great! If you could also make sure to update the TopStreak page (https://project-gc.com/Statistics/TopStreak)... I would be happy :)by Hügh - Method requests
I know that the guidelines disallow "specifying Lab cache finds", but doesn't disallow using them to qualify for a challenge.by Hügh - Method requests
What bothers me is this: HQ allows Lab Caches in streaks, so according to Geocaching.com statistics my streak is 555 days long. But PGC doesn't count lab caches in streaks, so whenever I use a "streak checker" I am told that my streak is only 263 days long (I logged a Lab on day #264.) If you have access to "found date" data, why don't they get counted in streaks?by Hügh - Method requests
Okay...? I don't really see how this is affecting you directly, but you're the CO so I guess your word is final. Sadly, I'm not the script owner so I cannot remove the script for you. You'll have to talk to sumbloke to get the script taken down.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Why? It makes it easier for people to see if they qualify. Do you want it to be difficult for people to check if they qualify? It's not like you're being forced to add the checker link to your geocache page. It exists on a different platform for people to use if they'd like.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
It is not possible to - Geocaching HQ's API currently does not provide Lab cache data to API partners.by Hügh - Method requests
It does not matter what you call it, it's still "find x number of caches in a day" which is specifically disallowed.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)

The challenge that ScoutrP is referring to is GC81321. It looks like the challenge is to "move/discover at least 100 trackable items". I'm not 100% sure about retroactive unpublishing, but it's definitely an illegal challenge.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
As is mentioned by GreyHams, this Challenge violates the guidelines; specifically, sections 5 and 10 of the Challenge Cache Guidelines. I've outlined the individual reasons below. 1) 10 Caches that you logged as a "DNF" and then later logged as "Found". QuoteChallenge criteria must be positive and require that a geocaching goal be achieved. Criteria may not be foby Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
If you own/know of trackable-related Challenge Caches that have already been published, there are two possible scenarios. It was published before the Challenge Cache moratorium, in which case the cache is "grandfathered". It was probably published because of a mistake on the reviewer's part; in which case it is likely to be retroactively unpublished by HQ.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)

Sadly, you cannot publish a Challenge Cache that relies on trackable logs. This is specifically addressed in the Challenge Cache Guidelines, Section 10 "Source of Criteria". QuoteNot Acceptable ... Trackable, Benchmarking, Waymarking logs, or specifying Lab Cache finds.by Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Quote8SüdsuchA You said that the Challenge cache criteria must be based upon the type of log, not on the log content. I totally agree with you but the AUTHOR badge is given for quantity of words and not for content. Nobody will check what the users wrote, even your system project-gc is just counting the words by an easy "stri len algorithm". This would also mean there is no violation ofby Hügh - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
