This is not to do with what they have to be called to appease Groundspeak. I am a bit annoyed that I cannot use them for one of their intended purposes, which is to set puzzle caches with them. Or at least I can, but I might as well not bother.
So that I don't have to quote all correspondence here, a brief explanation before the quoted reviewer note below is that the puzzle cache I set originally was not published because we now have to give an explanation in a the note to the reviewer to say how the puzzle is worked out from the cache page. I did this in detail, explaining how info could be found on the page to tell those trying to work out the final coordinates that they would need to obtain a specific coloured AAND, or find someone who has one.
I guess I could change the whole idea of what I was trying to do and hide an AAND somewhere as a first stage so that everyone could easily get the info. But I am not going to, it kind of destroys the puzzle I have set on the page. I have given enough of these out as FTF prizes and for other reasons that now I thought I would use one to hide a cache so others could use their AANDs to find a cache. Oh well
Open to suggestions on how to proceed, but honestly I think I will abandon the idea for this cache, or might put on TC instead. I have another one that I am working on which will be a multi, but waiting for landowner permission at the moment.

Hi
Thanks for the explanation..
However - included on the page there must be a way for a cacher to calculate the final coordinates without having/finding the relevant disk.
I am temporarily disabling your cache while this is sorted out. When you're ready for me to review the cache again either enable it from the cache page (Navigation box on the top right) and add any information or questions in the comments box or if you are editing the cache tick the box 'Yes this listing is active' and add any information in the 'Note to reviewer' box at the bottom. This will bring it back to the top of the queue for review.
Regards
