So either I'm not educated? or I'm dumbing down things to my own twisted view of the world????????
moving on.
To be honest I'd rather take the risk that I miss one or two caches that I would love because others have visited and rated them low. Than to have to ignore all caches of one type.
So my preference would be to have a simple rating system attached to the online log. This would at least give you a way of estimating whether you would like the cache or not.
Spend time finding out about whether a cache is worth visiting. Well that requires a crystal ball, I can look on a map and have an idea that a cache may or may not be in a good location but that doesn't then tell me about what I will find at ground zero that the ordnance survey didn't think to include a symbol for. Plus on a lot of logs these days you often find people only write long logs for a cache that really rocks their world. Often average caches have short logs just like rubbish ones. Which is a shame as well but a different thread.
