So I hid a couple of caches in a rather large cemetary in Rome, where there already was a cache hidden.  New York Admin at first sent an automated message asking precisely where within the cemetary the caches were.  I replied.  One cache was published.  The other wasn't with a not so so nice message stating the cemetaries are not playgrounds and my cache should be moved.  The cache was no where near a gravestone or in any way infringing on the sanctity of the cemetary but because it wasn't along the perimeter of the cemetary, it would not be published.  How many of us have found caches within cemeteries that are not along the perimeter?  And why does the New York Admin think that I am an idiot and would place a cache someplace disrespectful?

I'm not sure about where the line is drawn regarding acceptable and unacceptable cemetery caches. I have seen perimeter caches very near graves. I have seen caches in the middle that are not near graves. I can tell you that you are more likely to be spotted by mourning muggles as you scour around a spot in the middle of the cemetery compared with being on the outskirts.

As for disrespectful caches, the judgment call was probably objective and not based on who submitted the cache. And I'm sure the moderators have seen more than their fair share of disrespectful caches from both newbies and veterans alike.
