... as little as possible. I'm not a prolific cache hider, but I've been doing it for long enough that I know to check my locations with New York Admin before doing any further work on them, only going forward once I've been given the all-clear. But how would a new cacher know to do that? I've ...

This thread is technically about muggles and caches. I know the NYC Admin indirectly relates to this but I feel a new thread is needed - it would get more attention to the "problem", as well.

... wildlife refuge, etc. and the boundaries and usage laws for each of these is not always clear. For instance Governor's Island. Last year NYAdmin allowed publication of at least two caches there but withdrew them both after discovering that part of the island was a National Park. I've been ...

Sure hope so...but NY Admin can be very annoying when it comes to GC 101 events. You think approvals of caches are bad...try getting approval for events that actually promote our game! But--I will be Forest Park Oct 16 10 am to run ...

... would not only be NYC, but NYC and Long Island (again John has familiarity), otherwise you have "disjointed geography" for NY Admin (though you did have that when Pofe handled both NJ and CT), though it would be nice if we could get "NY Reviewer" out of Westchester ...

I still believe that there is more than one person who is NY Admin. There are too many inconsistencies--sometimes nice comments, other times abrupt. You can say in a nice way and no in a mean way. The approvals are often hypocritical identical hides or ...

... delete your smiley if he disagrees. I've never found that one (I've tried!) but I just put in a "Needs Archived" in the hopes that the admin will give it attention (if the Admin disables it still claim the smiley, it will let you).

... utilize the site for your geocaching data. You may also find us on Facebook, just search for "Opencaching US". Thank you! Jerry, OC US Admin

... it still happens. Maybe/hopefully it will change with the new Administration. I concur with Addisonbr, its very difficult to point fingers at one admin or another. And I cannot see how the politics of the democratic or republican party have to do with racial profiling. Racism/prejudice has existed ...

... Lament is a different matter. I've chosen to ignore the situation because in the end it really isn't hurting anyone, but you are correct that admin made some errors in placement there.

... I'm archiving it at the owners suggestion. Should the cache be brought into compliance with the current guidelines it may be unarchived. New York Admin Volunteer cache reviewer Geocaching.com ****@aol.com to me show details 11:38 AM (9 hours ago) Uh, what is "setting on a complaint"? ...

... to my surprise the first three searchers found the old cache and not my new one. I understand preserving the history of geocaching and all but NY Admin would not unarchive a cache that old so I didn't even try. All in all it prevented two geocachers from getting a FTF as they found the old cache ...

... cache we call "Micro" Woods, though the small woods/bird sanctuary we put it in is about 5-10x bigger) and had the same issue with NY Admin. It's strange what some allow and some admins don't allow.......

... I said ok, I guess you would call that a private cache, but I said why not post that info to the cache page....no answer. Try that in NY with our admin!
