Talk:Tag the hash achievement

Support. The achievement is well-defined and is a nice additional challenge for geohashers to attempt. --KerrMcF (talk) 23:35, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Needs work It has a number of peculiarities compared to most achievements. The requirement that the hashes be closest *to each other* rather than to your home. A "genuine attempt" counts, but driving doesn't. It's also a bit difficult to understand - the first two sentences could be really improved. Stevage (talk) 02:12, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

I've altered the proposal, because I strongly agree with your points on the peculiarities. A genuine attempt no longer counts, you have to actually reach each geohash, and driving is now a valid way to travel for the achievement. I think the poster originally intended for the achievement to be an "easier" version of the Endurance geohashing achievement, but that only complicated what was otherwise a decent idea. I've also hopefully improved the clarity of the proposal, it was a little difficult to explain with the previous restrictions. The requirement for the hashes to be closest to the previous day's is the entire point of the achievement, so that has remained. --KerrMcF (talk) 22:44, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Do not oppose but it feels like it doesn't add much to the Consecutive geohash achievement other than increasing the chance that your streak will be broken by one unlucky point. I believe this is why the original proposal didn't have reaching the hash as a requirement, but that version definitely needed work on defining what counts as a genuine attempt, e.g. when the target point is in the sea. --PeterRoder (talk) 23:13, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
