In regards to natural circulation, if this was feasible, I would also request that Geo-George bills not be used in the calculation of the George Score and Hit Rate also. I know I am repeating myself. I have posted this before.

Hans,

: Disable just one hit on the string of hits score wise, instead of deleting it?

: I saw a hit a while back where you had disabled it from the top 10 list because it was a Geocache bill with many hits on it. It was interesting to see where the bill had been but yet it did not count on the top ten list. I am not as computer literate as you, but was wondering if you found a bill where it was in this grey area of being hit by a family or friend for payments/gifts/bets etc.,you would be able to disable it from the score, yet leave the hit with the story posted. I realize you do take the time to delete such postings but was hoping we could find a way to keep the posting without effecting the scores?

: Thanks for listening and reading my ranting questions, I know I do tend to ramble.

: : Because it is too much a gray area between these types of hits that may be natural by your definition and someone who wants to cheat. Rather than open the door to intrepretation by the users, which is sure to be abused, I disallow all hits like this. I have enough problem traking cheaters as it is, that the rules have to be clear, so I can find and delete all fake hits without any argument from the users.
