No. You're saying (hypothetically) you watched spoiler videos online, then complained that I spoilt a cache for you? Yep, that is what was said.... as the owner of Mingo said recently, some take this gocaching thing too serious!

Bunch of old bitter farts with nothing better in life to do I guess......

What makes a perfect geocaching event
Frank Broughton replied to Presence's topic in General geocaching topics
I hate name tags and I certainly do not want to get around and meet necessarily everyone. In general, I prefer small events anyway. I like talk to a small number of cachers, but more intensively and not just a few sentences somehow on the surface to as many people as possible. I have never attended a event with the aim to get to learn new people. Cezanne haha, you did not even need to type that for us to know.... -

I hear your next cache will be placed under your living room floor peaches and strawberries! peaches and strawberries! Next.... Yeah Frank You are such a troll. Trying your best to get people riled up here. I love it they've been mainly ignoring you. :laughing: Hey you be nice, someone has to stick up for the downtrodden who cannot answer for themselves because all the talk is being done behind their back....haha or maybe I am just being the fall guy to really get everyone to nail the other site as a bad idea.... hmmmm -

Since your garden is private property and don't mind if someone digs a few holes in it (I suppose you expect us to mulch it for you too) it's not really a similar scenario to what the site is suggesting. Since your kids like digging hole, how about give them each a shovel and send them down to a city/town park and have them go at it. Let us know how that turns out. Of course, if the weather in Buffalo is anything like it is here today, they'll probably just build a snowman. Yeppers snow is crazy here tonight, BUT my 4 year old is out with shovel in hand! haha he really is! -

I like the name tags, I am like you snoogans I like to get around and meet everyone, having name tags on makes it easy to learn who people are. I like name tags. -
Yeah Frank. We'll remember that when we deal with you at your job. Wow, you would real step foot in my place of work?

Please, my friend, stop saying this, it is far from correct - GS is way more than a listing service and they do enforce much! Any enforcement is reactive and not proactive. Based on reports from the community on guidelines and permissions. They do not have the resources to have a geocaching police force. TOS aside they do not publish standards of care or quality. That is what the community is expected to do. Police itself and set its own examples. What are you saying they enforce as an enforcement agency? If I'm misunderstanding you it's not deliberate. Okay I get ya there, I am saying from a legal standpoint they could never stand on the leg of having no responsibility as to liability by saying they just list things. Easily this could all end up in court someday, this case or a duplicate case. I said it all in my first post in this thread - we all (COers & GS & Reviewers, to a lesser extent) have put ourselves out for liability. I do place some blame on the CO of this cache and I would be nervous if it was I. As should GS, 'tis all I am getting at my big friend. I do not think I am wet on this as I asked if I was earlier.
