Wie ich zufällig beim Googlen erfahren habe,
hat die Powertrail Flut ihren Grund in der Absenz des Verbotspassus',
auf den sich Reviewer bei Verweigerung einer Cachefreischaltung beziehen konnten.
Abhilfe ist angeblich in sicht, ich hoffe sie kommt bald:

Months ago, Groundspeak removed the “powertrail” verbiage on the listing guidelines. In doing so, it now allowed for individuals to hide a large amount of caches all in a single row. Previous to this, the reviewer had the option of denying a listing even if it met the distance guidelines. I know several cachers who experienced this first hand during the initial creation of the Dobson trail series.
A suggestion has been posed to Groundspeak to reinstate the anti-powertrail guidelines, and Jeremy Irish (GSP CEO) himself has commented on the suggestion by saying “I’m updating the status as “under consideration” since this is becoming an epidemic of poorly placed hides. The original intent of geocaching is to bring people to new places, not to a lamp post a tenth of a mile from another lamp post.”
It has spawned a very large group of responses both for and against powertrails. It seems that GSP opened a can of worms when they removed the powertrail guideline and things like the ET Highway have popped up and many more trails have appeared.
Jeremy spricht mir aus der Seele, und "Lampenpfosten" kann man auch durch andere Worte ersetzen wie Baumstumpf, Haltestelle,...
