Geocache hiding... " reviewer note "

Try removing the background image URL that you have included. Something about the system does not like https:// addresses.

 

By the way, I would suggest not leaving any text in the hint field if you don't want to leave a hint. "This geocache is too easy to have a hint!!" is not useful to users who decrypt manually out in the field, and is an extra unneeded click that reveals nothing to app users.

I remember writing a hint similar to this many years ago, and got shut down by the Reviewer. These days, that doesn't seem to be such a big deal. There are a ton of useless hints on fairly recent listings.

Yep - there's even a thread devoted to "useless hints".

I think "This geocache is too easy to have a hint!!" would be perfect for that thread.

Groundspeak requests Reviewers to remind CO's of the fact that useless hints don't help anyone. It never holds up Publication, but I always post a Note prior to hitting the Publish button as a reminder. Most people comply the second (or maybe 3rd) time around.
