It is a shame that Groundspeak ban the word and any talk about
the other game completely on their forums. I can understand that
it is a competitor of a sort, but if they really think the game
is that much of a threat to theirs maybe they should take a look
at their own operations and see how they can improve themselves.
That aside, I did not even get to post on the thread above
before it got locked, and really thought there was more
constructive discussion to be had on the topic. If one game is
directly affecting the other because of placements then I feel
both games should be able to discussed on the individual company
forums, they are not helping themselves by not. Thankfully there
are forums where both games can be discussed :)
I feel that if you play both games and want to stick a munzee in
one of your own caches, then go ahead. But don't go sticking
them in other peoples caches, especially without asking the
cache owners first. I would be very upset to spend time creating
a complex puzzle, or multi, for someone to go place a munzee in
the final and give the location away to all.
With munzees in on the increase, has anyone else found any
placed in their caches? What have you done / what would you do,
if you find one placed in one of yours?

Groundspeak always seem touchy about anything not Groundspeak :o
I think they are missing a trick here, as I wonder how many
people may have joined geocaching but didn't due to the
Groundspeak police.
Not seen any Munzees in my caches and would remove them if I
hadn't been asked first.

I Munzee.
If I found one in my cache I'd remove it, and use my phone to
mark it "Unable to Locate" (the Munzee equivalent of DNF/Needs
Maintenance)!
Two UTL's mark a Munzee as needing maintenance, and then gets an
automatic time limit before it's archived, unless the owner
carries out maintenance.
How ever, as I'm Bear and Ragged on both sites...
It may be a little obvious to the Munzee owner I may have
something to do with it not being there!. :o

I munzee too, but very very little. I have only a few captures
and still am on level 1, so that shows you how little I have
done. I have a few social captures too. Other than that I have
not read through all documentation for the game, so thank you
Bear and Ragged for explaining the UTL function and how it can
be used.
I am Gackt on any location based games I play, so I would have
the same problem, but it wouldn't faze me to do if I believed I
was in the right. That said, I haven't seen any munzees placed
in other peoples caches yet. I have seen one in an opencaching
cache, but both the cache and the munzee were owned by the same
person, so no problems there.
It's probably a very low possibility that I will come across
this situation. I have kept the munzee app on my phone for times
when I might find myself somewhere with no caches, just so I can
look to see if there is something else I can look for. I haven't
been inspired by any munzee hides yet. Certainly not the latest
little bunch that has just been placed in my home town of
Cirencester. The only good thing I can see about those new ones
is that if I do choose to do them I can piggyback off the Little
Chef free wifi instead of using some of contracted data :D
