GeoLeaks Geocaching Forum

Hello everyone,
Unfortunately, at the moment (especially in the German area) there is an extremely high number of requests for bonus caches for ALC. I think this has nothing to do with problems solving puzzles, but rather laziness!
Can't we ban the ALC here again? I know there was already a (closed) discussion about this, but the number of requests has increased enormously.

Best regards

P.S. If the discussion is unwanted, please simply delete this post.

I agree, was never a fan to do so.

I know what you mean, but....

I was also against it, and still am, but the majority wants it I'm afraid... I still think it's no real useful addition to the forum as anyone can go find the the mostly easy clues in the field. I also see that specific field questions (that you can't solve without really being there) also are discussed. And that is, in my opinion against forum rules.

Maybe time for an evaluation of some kind...

I had obviously noticed the amount of ALC´s over the past month(s) as well. They have been allowed since May last year and it took six months for the number to start increasing significantly. If you look at when those caches were placed, most of them have been there for several years. It could well be that we are now seeing a catch-up, which will then flatten out to the normal ratio that we see with newly registered mystery caches.
