Validity check for hiding date?

Mon, 05 Sep 2016 12:47:46 +0000

I noticed that there are a lot of caches which obviously have a wrong hiding date (before the year 2000), e. g. see http://project-gc.com/Tools/MapNESW?country=Germany&hidearchived=on&loop=10&submit=Filter

This falsifies every stastitic based on the hiding date. Can the hiding date be validated in any form? For example, it could be compared with the publishing date. Or the statistic could use the publishing date instead of the hiding date. Since the publishing date is set by a reviewer, it should be more accurate... Or caches with a hiding date which is too early to be true could be excluded from statistics based on the hiding date...

What do you think?
