<title>Profile/need maintenance? Is it possible to add a parameter to select the number of DNF before triggering</title>
<link>https://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=30405/profile-maintenance-possible-parameter-select-triggering</link>
<description>Would be great to add to the page Profile/need maintenance a parameter to select the minimum number of DNF to enter the list. For the moment ass soon there is one (1) 'need maintenance' it enter the list, i agree, but ass soon there is one (1) 'dnf' it is also included in the list. Would be great to have a parameter to select how many DNF before being counted for list. In my search for cache thet need maintenance i generally do not react before there is 3 consecutive dnf on the cache. Would be great also to have the same filter capabilities than in any other filter to select the type of cache as the tradi may require 3 dnf before being inspected, but for a multi, for the satisfaction of searcher, it could be reduced to 1 dnf before having a look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As hider, what is your opinion. As developper, would it be so difficult to add this parameter? Have a great day all!</description>

<title>what do you think about algorithm for 'hide that need maintenance' by geocaching.com</title>
<link>https://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=15988/what-think-about-algorithm-hide-that-maintenance-geocaching</link>
<description>The 'secret' algorithms for spotting the caches that need a maintenance at geocaching.com are according to me completely wrong. As hider, what do you think about it? How do you spot the cache that need the most a visit?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And I could say that statistically as I have more than 500 placed cache of which about 30 are selected by me for future maintenance. (with help of project-gc query 'need maintenance')&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So simple for me is 3 or more 'not found', by different geocacher (yes some put two time the same message), on a different dates (yes, the same date is a complete team that doesn't search well) and by geocachers having experience (say more than 300 found and/or more than 20 placed caches). &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another is to see which cache not so often visited that have a delay of twice the mean delay between visit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A 'wet paper' message is not for me having many caches a priority, at contrary a broken box is certainly a message for which I put the cache on my list and then, regularly (or not according to wheather) i define circuits of maintenance with project-GC (or GSAK that I still use sometimes)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that i see results from geocaching.com to spot hide that need maintenance,I understand better why there was a great &amp;amp; stormy discussion when the virtual were distributed!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
