Reviewer noting question
I was looking for something containing the word "abyss" (lots out there!) and stumbled on this one: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC9FBMQ_on-the-edge-of-the-abyss
It's not in my area but I noticed it was disabled. Then I noticed it had only two DNFs, from low-ish find counts. Now, I am NOT saying it's there - I have no idea - but I thought the protocol with reviewers was to put a reviewer note FIRST for owner attention and give it thirty days before disabling. That's what ours do and it seems fair. I also get that it is possibly an inactive CO but it struck me as a bit unfair to go straight into disabling something that hasn't got more than 2 DNFs and wasn't flagged by a finder. We have COs here that often need that 30 day buffer if they have got personal issues or are away etc.
In our world this immediate disabling & likely archiving would (usually does) lead to geo-trash. When we can we will find archived caches that appear to still be there and we CITO out the find, after claiming of course. 😄 Thoughts welcome, but especially from the reviewers that are regulars in this sub. Thx.
