Any update on this? I updated a couple of hints on my caches yesterday and found that the line breaks were stripped out and the quotes changed to html entities

- In your mind, what is a high quality geocache?
A clever or original container which is maintained regularly and a finding or solving experience that the CO has clearly put time, thought and effort into.
- In your mind, what is a low quality geocache?
A plastic container thrown into a high muggle area, poorly hidden, not maintained, little or no description Of why that spot was chosen
- What steps can the community take to improve geocache quality?
Log all DNFs, report Maintenance whenever it is required and if these issues remain unaddressed, raise with local reviewer
- What steps can Geocaching HQ take to improve geocache quality?
Require some form of caching experience prior to hiding a cache, whether that is time caching or number of finds or some other metric. Too many caches in my local area are placed by people with less than 20 finds after a week or so of caching. Those people then quickly disappear from the game and their caches, which were low quality to begin with, go missing or need maintenance and it can take months to get the impetus of enough DNFs and needs Maintenance logs to get the reviewer to disable it and then another few months before it gets archived

Correct, there is no "report" button.
As CO, you can delete a log. If you see an account who appears to be doing widespread "bogus" logging you can contact Groundspeak. Write to Geocaching.com's Community Relations staff by sending an email to contact@Groundspeak.com with full details of what you've observed.
There should be a link. Most people won't go to the bother of finding an email address to send an email to which, in turn, makes this kind of behaviour more widespread because people find that they can get away with it

Groundspeak does take action when an account is reported who is doing "serial bogus logging". E.g disabling the account and mass deleting logs.
I just had a look at the log linked above and couldn't find any "Report" link for the log or the logger
'Fill in your grid again' not working

Hi, I've noticed in the last few days that when you click the 'Fill in your grid again' link on the stats page, it just gives me everything I haven't found instead of the 1 or 2 D/Ts I need. Has anyone else had trouble with this?
