Question

Ever been FPs for organized events? Some of those I've visited would deserve it.

Answer 1

The idea of Favorite points was introduced as a recommendation for future visitors, after many local communities already presented something similar (GC vote, best caches bookmark lists, ...), which was the only way how to differentiate poorly hidden box on the corner of the street from well prepared caches bringing you to awesome place.

This does not apply for events -- there will be no future visitors once the event ends and the listing is disabled and archived.

As a side effect of this, collecting of FP became also part of the statistics, where would certainly the event points fit, but it is already done this way as a cache indicator, not the cacher indicator. As already said, it is not possible and I don't think it is going to change.

But, many events do have next editions, so...

Answer 2

From my point of view, it would be nice if there will be a different kind of system to vote an event. A lot of cacher, who host an event (and i don´t mean MEGA´s or GIGA´s), spend a lot of time, effort and money to organize an Exceptional Experience. They have done a great job! On the other hand there have been Mega´s which i had visited, disastrously organized.

Maybe sometime, there will be a tool to evaluate events - i hope so.

On average, events tend to get much more thorough logs than other caches so it's pretty easy to figure out what people who were at the event liked and didn't like anyway.

Answer 3

No, unfortunately that is not possible. But I would like it too.

Answer 4

I agree with you, sometimes I would like to award an FP at an event, but unfortunately that is not possible and if it makes sense to award an FP and then the event is archived immediately is questionable!

I see FP as much as a reward to the cache owner to acknowledge that they have done a good job on the cache - the fact other people can use that as guidance of where to cache is a bonus, hence a well organised event deserves one as much as anything else. If this wasn't the case then FP points should be 'refunded' after caches are archived :)

Answer 5

I also had that thought in the past but as Jakuje described this is not foreseen intentionally.

Answer 6

I agree that some events would deserve it. But I think that FP system is OK right now.

Answer 7

No fp for events for the moment but i home it become in futur ... effectively manu events and manu cito are very very good but we can't give fp and mis y of time it's more difficult To be organise ... so i wait the moment when we can do

Good try. But again, I see you copied the answer from spagg68. Please, give up, these attempts. If you have something to say, do it. If you don't please, do not spam here.
