I totally agree, however I have my hands tied as far as the data I am
given to work with, and it would quickly become a complete nightmare to
try and do it any other way. The only real way is to keep people from
moving their caches from non-member to member. :(
I would think that it would be more appropriate to move a cache to the
members only area by archiving the origional cache and making the
members only cache a new cache.
It certainly do a better job of makeing the cache disappear in the eyes
of the people that don't want them there.
