眼看着2020年就要过去了，20周年庆典活动还没发布，怎么办？

前情提要：地理藏宝20周年庆典活动藏点特权

申请到特权的藏友们最近会不会有点焦虑？根据当时的要求，所有得到这个特权的藏友需要在2020年12月31日之前发布这个藏点。如果还没发布，怎么办？

我相信大多数的藏友是想在疫情完全过去后再组织聚会，但是没想到国外的发展似乎完全没有好转的样子，而且还不断反复，进入秋冬之后，气候似乎又更不合适了，眼看着2020年就要过去。

好在Geocaching HQ似乎也是意识到了这个问题，在11月4日前后，给大家发了消息：

As the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) situation is evolving rapidly around the world, Geocaching HQ urges all Event hosts and attendees to prioritize the safety of themselves and their attendees.

At this time, we advise Event hosts to consult their regional health authorities to understand the guidance regarding gatherings of people. Generally, Geocaching HQ leaves the decision to Event hosts on whether to continue hosting the Event and to attendees on whether they will participate. In some regions, community volunteer reviewers may suspend publishing new geocaches, including Events and/or may disable, retract, or archive already published Events, in accordance with guidance from health authorities.

We want to allow flexibility for hosts who need to reschedule their published Community Celebration Events due to COVID-19 concerns. Community Celebration Events can be hosted until December 31, 2021. If hosts wish to reschedule their Community Celebration Event:

Create an Announcement log to notify users that the Event is cancelled and may be rescheduled. Disable the Community Celebration Event. Contact the publishing reviewer to retract the Event. Update the Event date. Submit listing for publication.

We understand it can be very disappointing to miss the connections that are made at Events. But please remember that geocaching is a location-based game, and locationless Events or virtual logging of Events are not permitted by the Geocaching guidelines. HQ appreciates that the community is so strong that players want to keep in touch virtually and we encourage doing so using other online platforms. Read the Geocaching Blog for tips about how to stay active with geocaching during these challenging times. Thank you for your understanding.

大意是说：

Geocaching HQ意识到了当前疫情的情况，要求大家还是以安全放在第一位。在举办活动前，藏友应先与本地健康机构沟通，服从相关规定。有些地区的审核者也暂停了相关的活动，甚至新藏点的审核。已经发布的event也会被暂停。

鉴于上述原因Geocaching HQ将特权藏点的发布截止日期从2020年12月31日，延期至2021年12月31日。已经布发的event也可以向审核者申请延期，重新发布。

同时HQ也提醒大家，根据Geocaching的准则，只是线上的签到而不到现场的log是不符合规范的，但是还是鼓励大家在线上保持沟通。

好了，不急了。待到来年，我们平安相见！
