TnT is absolutely correct. That is, unless a reviewer archives the cache listing. See below.

Again, TnT is correct. These unpublished caches do show up when I do a proximity check and are only a minor inconvenience. However, if I see that one has been up for a long time (6 months or more), I have started archiving them myself, just to clear out the "clutter". If one is parking a geocoin or TB there, archiving the cache will not affect that.
I really appreciate it when people use the check box to keep an unfinished listing hidden from me. That saves me time, because I don't end up reviewing a cache that is not ready and it saves the cache owner from the frustration of getting a note from me telling them to fix a problem with the listing!
