I cant speak for them, but from what I read, the site discourages people from breaking the regulations of land managers. If such a cache is placed, the sponsors should not approve it. If they do, and someone reports it, then the site owner can remove it. The site does say that all caches need to be legal (as in all land management rules be followed, laws followed etc.).

Does the site take some kind of responsibility for the role of talking to land managers, or are they of the philosophy that they are just a listing service (the napster/kazaa type defence)? I know that people are supposed to put their contact details on caches, but often they don't.

Of course, it only takes a few minutes to get registered and sponsored... by the sounds of it. So it really would not make a difference if there was open viewing of caches or not! If someone wanted to get on the site just for the reason of vandalizing caches, it wouldnt take much effort. Just register and in a few minutes.. you have your sponsors and you are on your way to a future in vandelizing tc.com caches! :) LOL Scott Team Ropingthewind ____________________________________________________________ Az-Geocaching mailing list listserv@azgeocaching.com To edit your setting, subscribe or unsubscribe visit: http://listserv.azgeocaching.com/mailman/listinfo/az-geocaching Arizona's Geocaching Resource http://www.azgeocaching.com ____________________________________________________________ Az-Geocaching mailing list listserv@azgeocaching.com To edit your setting, subscribe or unsubscribe visit: http://listserv.azgeocaching.com/mailman/listinfo/az-geocaching Arizona's Geocaching Resource http://www.azgeocaching.com Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking Till a voice, as bad as Conscience, rang interminable changes On one everlasting Whisper day and night repeated -- so: "Something hidden.
