Yes it changes everyone's stats that was deleted

this was the rest of my statement not just that part but i belive this isnt just about a simple TFT log this is about deleting a log that someone else had discovered the coin either in a cache or at an event

well put and as i said better than i could have wrote.

The part of your statement I bolded is not true. I don't delete logs, but currently hold the opinion that owners should be able to. That isn't a firm opinion, though, and I am reading the various thoughts expressed here with interest because there may be a middle ground that I may ultimately choose to support. Even with issues I have firm opinions about, I listen to other points of view. Sometimes a point is made that was not considered previously, and an adjustment to my stand, whether it be slight or major, is warranted. i do agree but i was talking about when 2 people have 2 opinions most of the time neither one will change there point of view. but you are correct and i stand corrected thanks

Finally something that I agree with you about. However, unfortunately, the time comes for rules and regulations when free people start doing things that degrade the lives of others. In this case, you exercising your freedom is causing other people to lose something that they clearly care a great deal about. If you were to use your freedom more responsibly, perhaps the need for rules and regulations wouldn't be coming to fruition at this point. You gain nothing by deleting logs. Absolutely nothing. Your coin is worth nothing more, nothing less. It is still worth what it was worth when you bought it with the logs. Others, however, lose icons, discoveries, miles, etc. when you delete logs. This is one of the many, many reasons that have been brought to light in this very thread as to why what you and your friends are doing is wrong and irresponsible. You'd think I caused the world to crash from being in favor of allowing a new coin owner to delete a simple TFT discovery log. Give me a break. Let's get this back into prospective, it is only an Icon, it does not affect your life in any way. Weird, I was thinking the same thing. Only, rather than an icon, I was thinking that it was only a couple of discoveries, it does not affect your life in any way. So yes, let's please do get this back into perspective. What is the big deal about a few meaningless discoveries that do not affect your life in any way? the thing is unless your the actual coin owner and your the one that deleted the logs you dont know if the logs that were deleted just said TFT discovery log. but i belive this isnt just about a simple TFT log this is about deleting a log that someone else had discovered the coin either in a cache or at an event. well you are incorrect. the logs were discovery logs from an event only. the coin NEVER moved to a cache. my point was unless YOU actually deleted them your self then YOU dont know that the logs that were deleted were discovery only. (talking about the logs thats this thread was started for) because the logs were deleted before this thread started

i started a suggestion about this thanks

Not possible, unless of course the coin owner is willing to meet with all of the people who had their logs deleted. Otherwise, it's nothing more than a virtual log, likely to get the coin locked completely. Hopefully not a practice that you're using with any of your many geocoins. No, They have already seen this coin, the owner is not handing out the tracking # to everybody, just those who logged it previously. And I resent your implication of me doing such a thing I am fully aware of the rules regarding virtual logging! if they are willing to let them relog the coin then what was the point of deleting them in the 1st place why were they not just left on there

i think some kind of rules should be set for deleting logs from coins and bugs. maybe the same as deleting a log from a cache. im sure more people will have better ideas than i do on some kind of fix for this.

i agree its a opinion and noone will change the way they see it. no reason to get all tore up about it.

i will be looking in to it unless someone has already done it. thanks

I am 100% opposed to any rules, I like it the way it is. And in case you weren't aware. Life can be unfair at times. first i do understand that life is not always fair im a grown man and i know that for a fact. but same thing can be said to you if they set rules for coins you need to understand that same quote.

again this is why i think GS should set "rules" to stop or at least govern this from being done thats how i see it before rules come down something has to happen to provoke a rule change thats why there are rules to change something thats unfair or not done the right way. this is a good example of something that needs to be looked at you also own all of the caches you put out but there are rules to follow why not with the coins. as you stated earlier you own that cache not anyone else. even when you own something there are always rules. i own a car and i have to follow the rules or they will take my car i own my home but i still have to follow the rules. just because its owned by someone shouldnt mean they shouldnt have any rules because of it

There are No Rules for Geocoins, there is only etiquette and the main etiquette is to move the geocoin. Coins are property, they belong to the owner. no one else - For someone else To change the 'rules' for something that you own is not correct i agree some what but what about a tattoo tb, or car tb, or name tag tb or the tb's on shirts they are not moved by people but discovered so why would i go in and delete all of the logs of people that discovered my tattoo... because then everyone would loose that icon. because even when its a tattoo its still just a regular tb that i had that number put on to my arm so technically i could sell that number if i decided too (not sure what good it would do )lol but i could also you stated that there are no rules for this i think thats what alot of us are saying. there needs to be a rule to cover this

i do think this is a good thing for GS to look into because if all that needs to be said is i thought it was boring so i deleted it its going to cause more problems as more people join the game. i saw nowhere in the "rules" for geocoins that said if you discover a coin at an event instead of finding it in a cache your log could be deleted in the future.

i remember seeing one of these go on the e place last year some time and it sold for around $30.00 id love to have it just because its funny but its not $100 funny....

i do agree and i also said that you own the cache and coin what i was saying is and i guess i should have been more specific when i said it. was that without the GS web site the coins and caches are no good because they are tracked on this site. so actually they have all control over the coins and caches. if thats the case then why can a coin be locked over getting virtual logs. even if you agreed to let people log it that way. so even when you own the coin there are rules to having the coin. they should just make it a rule that you cant delete logs for no reason. and if you bought the parking lot and its not zoned for what ever your wanting to build on that lot then even with you owning it you cant make them changes without permission. and you couldnt just come in buy the property and start towing off cars. there are rules you have to follow you would have to post a sign and follow the rules before you could just start towing them off. so that people knew it was going to happen.

awarding vacations thats great.... well i guess ill chime in after reading all of the post but not that it matters much. when i hide a cache that means i bought a container, i supplied the log, i supplied swag for the container. i found a spot to place it, i talked to the land owner to have permission, i made the page for the cache and the name. also if something goes wrong with it such as missing or destroyed i am the one that must fix it. so i have caches that i have more money tied up in than a coin (which i do love my coins) i cant delete logs from my cache page unless there is a really good reason. so why can you delete them from a coin page. either way actually GS ownes all of the coins and the caches. we just find them and hold them for awhile. same thing if i adopt a older cache thats been there for years before i even started playing this game i cant go in and delete the logs on that cache page just because i want it to start over. and really there is no diff. in the two because even if i own the coin or the cache GS has the right to take them off of the site at any time. and if GS takes the coins or caches off the site it doesnt really matter if they have good or bad logs because at that time they are really useless because they can only be tracked on this site. as far as the "deleting logs to start the coin over part" once the coin is active if it has 1 log or 1000 logs the coin is still active so im not really understanding that part of it. its either active or unactive. the number of logs dont really matter its still active. i have bought hundreds of activated coins from sellers on here and also on ebay. and never one time was i worried about how many logs it had on it. because if i was i would have bought an unactive coin. but like i said at the begining its just the way i see it. thanks

i got one of these good looking coin as a mystery coin cant wait to get one of these trac. ones so they can be together

your very welcome

ALL COINS THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED HAVE BEEN DROPPED IN A CACHE GOOD LUCK well i went looking for this thread and noticed it was 4 pages back. kind of sad. but i figured i got 2 very nice mystery coins this month and i should pay it forward so here is how it will work this time. i will give out 10-15-20 coins im not sure how many to tell ya the truth. but with working on my home and actual work it will be later in the afternoon's before i will start sending adoptions out. but i will only give them out to people that own less than lets say 15 coins. (unless for some reason they are not going then i will change it) make a post and say that you would like one and how many coins you have. and only 1 coin per user name i just have 1 request: please do not delete the old logs it shows where the coin has been so here we go i will update the list as i send out adoptions for the coins 1)TheRoadWife (adoption complete) 2)KDinCT (adoption complete) 3)Bukatwo (adoption complete) 4)looneybinsquad (adoption sent) 5)3 Doo Funnies (adoption complete) 6)TheHiltz5 (adoptioN complete) 7)SoonerL8R (adoption sent) 8) 9) 10)
