Talk:Tree dresser achievement

Oh wow. This one has gone entirely unnoticed. Hmm. I do not oppose with a tendency towards support. I'm a little concerned about the littering involved. -- relet 16:39, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

I say it needs work but think if reworded and adjusted a decent amount, I could move up to do not oppose. I don't particularly care for the littering, so we would have to make a clause saying you must clean up after yourself before you leave. Also it seems a bit directed at the Christian demographic with the decorations and specificity of December. I am not a fan of such a specific timing in any achievement. Perhaps we could adjust that to be "seasonally appropriate decorations at or near the hashpoint". --aperfectring 16:52, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - My first thought was also concerned with littering, and I really wouldn't like geohashers to leave trees full of decoration that might well be unwanted by the neighbours. On the other hand, if you remove the decoration after taking a photo it seems quite pointless to me. --HiroProtagonist 17:34, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

There are people who knit... tubes and wrap them around lamp posts. I think this achievement goes against the geohashing (and urban exploration) cornerstone of leaving the area intact. We can still keep the discussion open though. Needs work. --The ru 09:22, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

My first reaction was "eww, litter" because even if you're putting beautiful decorations on, they're still garbage eventually. If you constructed your decorations solely out of natural found objects, e.g. stringing pinecones on lines braided from grasses and vines, that would be possible, but then we get to the question of what counts as decoration. If all non-native objects are packed out, then DNO leaning towards oppose. -Robyn 05:01, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Opposed. Littering is evil, and I honestly don't see the point in bringing heavy decorations to a hashpoint, just to take them down again afterwards. I admit, we do a lot of silly things at hashpoints, but seeing a photo of a hasher juggling or building a snowman makes me happy, while religious symbols don't. --Calamus 07:47, 12 January 2014 (EST)
