This is why I don't like using the uncategorized category feature. I think since the beginning Groundspeak said that credit for posting would go to the helper. I just find it weird to categorize a waymark and get all the credit when I've never been there. I seems like armchair waymarking.

but doesnt this system seem to further alienate n00bs (cachers)? those arrogant waymarkeres have created a system to steal waymarks from those who do not know the complexities of the game..... i posted 'X' as a UCM. then 'M' categorizes it and i get none of the credit. they have already posted 75 'Doughboys', but that would have been my first. i didnt know that was a category, and i might not be able to find another to post my self..... i can add to my #s myself, i dont need to take from others, i want to share with them. i already dont like that some of the games (uhaul) light up places ive never been, but thats why i will never post one in a 'new state' (ill wait to visit, so at least my posted marks map will be accuraite). sq: now what are you going to do when someone mails you asking questions you cant answer cause all you did was click a few times on a waymark you never been to? assist means to help someone else, not yourself. and assisting someone elses stats (from a posted UCM point of view) isnt something you would want to perpetuate. however assisting someone stats from a categorizer point of view is what we need--to educate about the 1,000+ categories (itll be here soon enough) and the many facets of crossposting. and what is the difference in the 'winked upon' workaround bruce and SQ set up? why not just copy/paste crosspost infor, like we have done before--you still have to fill out variables on each one individually. i guess this is primarily to only have to upload the pics once......a handy feature we have talked about a long time....
