so what should be done when you find a cache that the owner hasn't fixed after being plundered? I mean say 2 teams visit the site a week apart both stating that the cache is in diss repair or missing and the cache owner hasn't responded to any emails or postings to the matter??? then what would be appropriate time for fixing a cache???

I don't know if there is a good answer for that.  I guess it would have to be case to case.  Let's assume that one of my caches was plundered in late Jan.  I would not have been able to taken care of it until late Feb. since I was on an unexpected trip to North Idaho for a family crisis.  Not only was I 1500 miles from my cache, but I had terrible internet connectivity while there, and could hardly check on my e-mail.

Obviously I would want to fix my cache when I arrived back in Tucson, but 1 week would hardly be enough time.  On this particular trip, I could have easily been stuck in Idaho for 6 or 8 weeks instead of the 3.5 I was there.

I just don't know if there is a good answer to this question.  Personally, I don't think that a cache should be allowed to be archived just by a cacher making a comment to an admin.
