  1. This is my ALR: Additional Logging Requirement: You MUST be a subscriber to log or find this cache: Required Subscriber-Only Caches Some caches are only available to premium members. This has been a request of many geocachers who want to put more energy into designing a cache for dedicated geocachers. As the cache owner, you can make any of your caches "subscriber only," so folks will need a subscription to seek it out. (Note: member only caches may not be any better than public geocaches. Each cache is managed by their cache owner.) An audit log is a list of users who have viewed your premium member-only cache on the web site. Click on the user's name to visit their profile. If your account user name does not appear on the Audit Log, your *find* will be removed. As a failsafe, I will check your profile page prior to removal. If you are a subscriber, and logging this cache the correct way, you WILL be on the cache audit list. If you are NOT a subscriber, and logging this cache an alternative way, you will NOT be on the cache audit list. GC1CDAV Groundspeak will not prevent non-subscribers from logging subscriber-only caches. This gives the scoundrels warning, and has been the most effective method of dealing with them.
  2. Your email guess is totally wrong.
  3. Awesome research, Starbrand! The newest of those three caches was 3/23/2003!! Just squeaked by! Thanks. That cache was moved there by the owner, when that could be done. It was placed and approved in a different location. Read the FTF log.
  4. September 11 by King Boreas (1432 found) Michael proclaimed: Waymarks are not geocaches however Groundspeak has a policy that prevents a cache that requires creating caches or creating and/or logging waymarks. This is not a logging requirement that we allow. The reviewer is correct.
  5. Location: Minnesota, United States Surfer Joe temporarily disabled Challenge of A Century: Waymarks (Not Published) (Unknown Cache) at 9/10/2008 Log Date: 9/10/2008 KB, Sorry, but I have to shoot this one down. This scenario came up before (only in that case you had to post only one waymark to be able to log a find). It was deemed that that was equivalent to requiring someone to hide a new cache and therefore was no longer allowed. SJ

  7. That's where people don't see what's going on behind the scenes. A cacher with few or no hides slamming someone maintaining dozens (or hundreds) of hides because of some technique or container size or something minor like that just doesn't understand the work it takes to upkeep it all. And it's being upkept for the cachers, not like we owners get some commision. Which also circles back to asking how hard it is to take 30 seconds and type a little blurb about the find in the log rather then "TFTH!". People who leave logs of 5 characters or less should only be allowed to find PAG LPC's.... http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LU...26-b6f81591fcbe
  8. Log Date: 7/4/2008 Been here twice before. Happily meralgia found it not long before we were ready to leave. Dissatifying and uninteresting cache, better to ask someone for a specific hint and save two hours of your life. Log Date: 7/4/2008 Found it third time. Don't say anything bad about it or Mr Boreas will delete your post. Log Date: 7/5/2007 Hi Log Date: 7/5/2008 Dissatisfying cache. Owner continually deletes posts that say as much. Log Date: 7/5/2008 Dissatisfying cache. Owner continually deletes posts that say as much. Yes, Mr. Rune edited these after posting. Note the "Hi" log which is backdated. You should tell your forum buddies about your "tool" Thanks for visiting. Come again.
  9. My most joyous finds have been archives that have been out there for a few years. The only reason for them not to provide this info, is to "hide" how much geo-litter there might be. I think it should be freely available, and give those of us who care to remove them a chance to do so.
  10. If waypoints weren't meant to be added (or deleted), I'm sure that option would be locked with publication.
  11. I agree that it doesn't sound like fun, but I keep hearing about how much fun it is and who are we to spoil their fun. I just logged a few attendeds on an old cache of mine to see what all the hoopla was about. I dunno, maybe there is something wrong with me because I didn't think it was fun at all. Those were false posts! You weren't there for the activity. see what all the hoopla was about Halloween Hoopla 2008 is on the last Saturday of October next year!
  12. Is the act of logging attends at events actually fun? I always thought hunting caches was fun and the act of logging was more of an obligation. I'm going to have to re-think this. Maybe I'll go log some attends on some old events. I'm at work and not having a whole lot of fun at the moment. Maybe I can spice things up here a bit by logging some attendeds and find out what I've been missing all along. It's most likely no fun at all for most cachers. Seriously, have you ever looked at an event page and read some of those logs? They go something like this the majority of the time ,,, Found temp cache #1 at **** event, Found temp cache #2 at **** event, Found temp cache #3 at **** event, and so on, and so on,,,,,,. Heck, i just took a look at the event mentioned in the OP's first post. It's even worse than i realized with the first 7 temp cache logs by one person going like this. Found temp, Found temp, Found temp,,, It's certainly obvious that most of those logs are there for one reason and one reason only, to get that almighty smilie. There are several like that, but that cacher, a friend of mine, has been very busy. Her daughter is home from Iraq, getting married, etc etc She always makes a point of varied logs for any find. This was posted on my forum: I'm sorry that my logs raised a red flag and got the boards buzzing. I'm sorry that I didn't spend the time to write better logs - I can correct that. I'm NOT sorry about logging the temps and will continue to do so. Frankly, I worked just as hard for those as for the permanent caches. If power trails weren't such an issue, neither would temps. I thought about replying on the GC forum, but decided that I'm already stretched (read stressed) so much this week that my post would be far from pleasant. KB - if you want me to jump in, I will. Otherwise, I'm going to just quit reading the forum and try not to get worked up about it. Perhaps a reviewer might step in for a minute or two, and explain the additional waypoint types, and how misuse reflects on the proximity tools? I'm not at liberty to share what I've received from my reviewer.
  13. I wanted to know if this site allowed this event to be published in it's current form, or if they were slipped in post publication. Many have accused TPTB of straddling the fence on the Temp Cache issue. If they allowed this Event to be published in it's current form, that tells ME something. When THIS Event was submitted, three months prior to publication, the temps had not been placed. So no, the additional waypoints were not listed. I have submitted other events with additional waypoints (temps) already included. if they were slipped in post publication If that is meant as a snide comment, our reviewer is very proactive and would know that was done.
  14. The cache density in Stillwater is okay, not a ton Stillwater needs caches? People may be visiting from around the country? A "Geocoin Fest 2008" series, with FTF available, sounds like a challenge. Hmmm
  15. Thanks to everyone who attended. There's never been one like it in Minnesota, at least in the past five years. Special THANKS to the out-of-state cachers who came: drat19 (who's really a Minnesootan), Fishpounder, The Northwoods Goonies, Ecorangers, hobo dude and CCCooper Agency. This event was organized by Centris (and friends) and they are thanked as well. The biggest thanks go to the Saturday tour chauffeurs: The Gilby 3 and zoejam72 You guys gave me my best day of caching, and it will be remembered forever. -30
  16. I'd like to blame it on celticwulf, but it's obviously Kitch's fault. not working for me, so i'm on hide hiatus. phooey ....
