Currently, the profile stats show the elevation of posted coordinates. This means that for most cachers, the lowest elevation list consists of mystery caches that have the posted coordinates in the sea. Making that part of statistics pretty much random.
E.g. On my profile, 9/10 caches in there show up as below sea level, although they are all actually above it.
Because PGC has the access to read corrected coordinates, I thought that maybe it's possible to implement that part of the stats to show them instead.
P.S. Alternatively, if for some reason this is not possible, could we get the option of manually excluding caches from only that part of stats, using a bookmark list?
P.P.S. Some people have raised the argument "But then I can just correct some cache coordinates to the middle of the ocean and get the deepest badge!"
This argument does not seem valid to me - bogus correcting like that would be no different than couch logging a random cache to claim some other badge - you are only cheating yourself this way, and it is not possible to enforce stopping it.
At the moment this stat is a bogus one for 90% of cachers anyway. By using corrected coordinates, it would become bogus for the 0.01% of cheaters, yes, but it would be correct for others. (Sorry for the rant)
