−	~~#REDIRECT~~ [[~~glossary~~#C]]	+	A '''couch potato cache''' (also known as an "armchair cache") is a cache that can be logged from the comfort of your own home, without actually going anywhere.
		+	They are often [[virtual cache]]s with verification questions that can be answered through internet research.
		+
		+	Couch potato logs violate [http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#virts the Geocaching.com guidelines], which state:
		+	:A virtual cache is an existing, permanent landmark of a unique nature. The seeker must answer a question from the landmark and verify to the cache owner that he was physically at the location.
		+	This requirement/expectation has been in the guidelines since
		+	[http://web.archive.org/web/20020811012522/http://www.geocaching.com/articles/requirements.asp July 2002].
		+
		+	Owners of virtual caches are expected to check regularly for bogus logs and delete them.
		+	They are also encouraged to tighten the verification if necessary to avoid further abuse
		+	(e.g., by requiring a photo, in addition to requiring answers to questions).
		+	If the owner of a virtual cache continues to allow it to be abused with bogus couch potato logs,
		+	then the local reviewer may archive it.
