Here is a little update. I just published a new challenge with the words mentioned below. It got archived within 2 minutes. I must say I am quite impressed by the speed of groundspeak's censorship. Since the spam-tactics obviously don't work, I choose to be a bit more constructive. Here are the things which don't work with challenges:
- There are no rules and guidelines which state what is acceptable as a challenge and what is not. Archiving challenges is more an arbitrary act than anything else. At least there should be a reason why this challenge got archived. The big advantage of Groundspeak over every other listing-site is the reviewing process.
- Links don't get parsed and you can't use BB code / html.
- Uploaded pictures can't be deleted even before you publish it.
- Fake logs can't be deleted.
- There is no map or listing to search for them.
- Once you completed a challenge and it got archived, you can't delete your log anymore.
- The challenges count as a find but they are clearly not a geocache. They shouldn't count or make it a separate statistic
- There is no identifier who did set-up the challenge
- There is no email notification what happened with your challenge
- There is no opt-out option for everyone who doesn't want to participate which removes everything challenge related for the this cacher
