In the interest of simple politeness in case I was wrong, I wasn't going to say it out loud before, but now that it's been said I think Kealia is probably right. Zero logs and a bunch of forum postings that seem designed to attract attention do not compute. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.

Welcome, and beware! What caches have you gone for so far? I looked at your log but didn't see anything. Cheers, - Team Og. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.

quote:The plan would involve agreed upon deletion of threads, alteration of logs, and an eventual cleansing of all things geocaching that reference any pirate activity, past, present or future. It would also involve work to stay on top of new information that is posted, and contacting the owners of caches and threads for the cleansing of such references.Fight, yes. But fight efficiently. this sounds like a WHOLE lot more effort than is needed. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.

quote:The only solution I could see was for someone to pull lists of ISPs for all the caches that had been plundered, looking for a pattern. Crim, you're violating yer own request... For me, discussion on strategies to fix the pirating problem moved to where it belongs. BTW, as I've said elsewhere, I support BrianSnat, whatever he wants to do. His hides are in accord with Team Og's motto. We'd like to have the chance to do more, especially the two on Pyramid that we haven't gotten to yet. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.

Presented for your consideration... The same thing can be made optional to the hider and done through a simple policy change without coding. The idea would be to allow hiders to have the option of hiding "on request" caches. The coords listed would be to a parking lot, trailhead, or other starting point. The first line would be to the effect, "PM the owner for the cache coordinates." This would involve slightly more work for a hider who chooses to hide an on-request cache, but no more than for someone who owns a virt. As with a multi, the approvers would still need to know the location of the cache and all stages. It'd also be possible to automate coords-on-request, using a "Request coordinates" link that logs the requesting user and puts up the cache coords. While this is a bit less work for all involved (except the site maintainer), it's also inherently less secure due to the possibility of pirates using sock puppet accounts. Either manual or automated requesting would require a paragraph or two to be inserted into the FAQ. Again, this would be totally optional to both the hider and the seekers. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.

Doubletap.

Jeremy, Here's the button. quote:To: All ApproversFrom: Jeremy Irish Subject: Revised Approval Policy Due to piracy, we're allowing caches with coordinates by request. This has to be listed in the top line of the cache description. Those interested in seeking the cache should PM the owner. The coordinates actually listed should be for a start point. The hider still needs to provide the coordinates of the cache itself and all stages (if it is a multi). Regards, Jeremy Well, not zero work. You do have to send a letter. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost. [This message was edited by Team Og Rof A Klaw on September 22, 2003 at 08:08 AM.]

quote:How about ISP freeze outs for pirates? When someone logs a taunting message or log on a cache, they could be reported to Admin and their ISP could be blocked from receiving the website.As an added bonus, one pirate could shut down caching for thousands of innocent subscribers. In my book, more options are always better than less. Yes, it's inconvenient to have to ask for coords first. It's also inconvenient to have to unlock doors before you go through them. Automating the process would help, and is possible, but it'd take some code slinging. All that would change is that you'd hit a link on the cache page to request coords and your ID would be logged. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.

quote:There may be a future consideration to allow cache owners the option of making their caches "Request only" - so you have to email the user first before getting access to the listing. Permission-based caches would be limiting but would allow both subscriber and non-subscriber access to your listings.Technologically, the work needed to do this is zero. The only thing that needs to change is for the admins to allow it. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.

Hi, all, If you have any recommendations for caches in scenic areas in the northwest Lower Peninsula of Michigan (Traverse City to Mackinac), could you please post the URL? We're looking for hike-in caches with between 0.5 and 2.5 miles from the trailhead. Thanks, - Team Og Rof A Klaw. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.

Well, that time is past now, ain't it? Want to reduce plundering? Change the game. Plundering acceptable? Make no changes. ____________________________ - Team Og Rof A Klaw All who wander are not lost.
