    Re: Have you had an existing waymark stripped from you?

    Stick out tongue

    I just had a "Border Crossing Category" stripped from me too in the last week.  It was posted in May 2009, and visited by only one other person.  And now it's gone. 

    Personally, I don't care if you decline a Waymark during the submission stage.  But to have it pulled 6 months (or more) after it's been a Waymark - well too bad if your group can't manage your category in a timely manner.  Why make the Waymarker lose a Waymark?

    Do the management groups realize this is a GAME?  It's for fun?  It's to show folks where interesting places, monuments, or what not is located.  And when we submit a Waymark and/or visit a Waymark we get a cute little icon.  It's a GAME!!!!!

    I say to management groups, leave your need to control the world in your back pocket and remember that we who Waymark are trying to have fun and play a GAME!!!!! 

    It's not the end of the world if there is a Border Waymark on BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET!  Who cares?  It's a GAME for goodness sake. 

    What if I'm driving to the other coast and will never pass by in the other direction.  But I can't get that waymark on the other side of the street due to traffic, or I'm pulling a trailer and can't make u-turns or whatever.  So now I can't get that Border Waymark icon because the management group won't allow one in both directions.

    I'm so mad.  Angry

    I am thinking of quitting Waymarking due to the Border management group YANKING my 6-month old Waymark.  And I know no one will miss me.  And more folks will come along and PLAY this GAME.  But in the mean time

    Okay, notice the red ink and bold letters?  yeah, i'm fuming mad.

    My last words - People, it's a GAME!!!!!  Stop TAKING AWAY Waymarks that have been up and running.  What is wrong with you "managers" anyways?  Power tripping?  Can't let folks just have a good time?  Afraid chaos will overtake?

    Super Angry
