Geominionsヅ

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 Well for one, TB's Have no real value once activated. they are not the same as a geocoin. but if you sell yours then yes, the new owner should have the ability to delete any logs they want to. oh and I disagree about rules for geocoins. They are property and no rules should be set down on something you own, and remember there are no guarantees in life. just cause you write something, does not mean it will be there forever.

Yes, you do have that ability. Just be aware that not everybody is going to like it. People are discussing WHY they don't like it here and it is going to cause some angst. Like it was stated above, it's a coin, not a kidney

While I do not have a dog in this fight, I have enjoyed those post that are well though-out and clearly conveyed. I do take issue with the above statement because I do keep my stats using GSAK among other tools and would certianly notice if one of my unique trackable "finds" were to suddenly vanish. While I do have several "discovers", I take more joy in actually moving GCs and TBs along their way; The icons are a pleasant bonus. As for the used car analogy, I agree New vs Used = Unactivated vs Activated. Therefore, deleting the previous logs = rolling back the mileage on the used car to presumably increase its worth. However, that's a false "worth". The car/coin still has the mileage/history...it's just been hidden. Exactly my point (and why I used the term presumably). Anyone who pays a little more for an activated "no logs" coin is obviously not thinking clearly, since logs are so easily "rolled-back". Apparently you have not read the previous posts, this coin had NO Mileage, it had not traveled it was only seen at one event and I as I have stated before those are the only type of logs I delete and the coin was never handled by anyone, so no vested interest. There is no mileage erased at all. as the new owner I like having this option and I believe I have the right to get rid of these 'boring' logs.

Say I purchase a Parking Facility, and there are a handful of vehicles parked there. I have new plans for this facility - I want to resurface it or use it in a different manner so I am going to have these cars removed off my Property. Same thing with a coin I have purchased with my own money it belongs to me, it is my property, and if your log is parked there, and the log is in the past before I owned the coin then I will consider having them removed, of course as I reiterated before, they would only be discover logs from events where the coin has not traveled and the discoverers have not spent anytime with the coin but only viewed for a few seconds then I will probably delete the logs. And if the log owner did not receive a log deletion notice they would not even be aware of it being archived.

This is why Cache logs can not be deleted. Coins are different. That is why this activity is called Geocaching, and not Geocoining.

+1 I have purchased MANY pre activated geocoins, If the coin has logs on it showing it has been moved by other Geocachers and has gained miles, then I will leave the logs, but if the coin was only taken to events and discovered, well those logs get deleted so that I can start the coin on a whole new journey with a new activation date and a new starting point. As the Coin owner, I like having that option and if this option is taken away, well I would not seek buying older coins anymore, to me that would devalue them even more then they already are. The adoption should lock all previous logs. By not allowing the new coin owner to make the coin their own by getting rid of the old logs, would kill the incentive for buying preactivated coins. I know I would not buy anymore. I think that when a coin is adopted over to a new owner, the new owner should have the option to remove All Previous Logs if they wish. I am in the opposite camp. I have bought several activated coins and wouldn't dream of deleting the logs. They are the fingerprint that makes each coin unique I have purchased MANY pre activated geocoins, If the coin has logs on it showing it has been moved by other Geocachers and has gained miles, then I will leave the logs, but if the coin was only taken to events and discovered, well those logs get deleted so that I can start the coin on a whole new journey with a new activation date and a new starting point. As the Coin owner, I like having that option and if this option is taken away, well I would not seek buying older coins anymore, to me that would devalue them even more then they already are. Your logic doesn't make any sense. If someone moves it, the log stays. If someone sees the coin at an event, the log goes. Why? It's not going to hurt my feelings if you don't buy activated geocoins anymore, so your using that as a point in favor of allowing deletions of logs on previously owned coins is not going to work over here. Well Got to say "Your Feelings" don't mean squat to me. When a coin is just 'discovered' the person logging the discovery has not vested any time with it, they just looked at if for a few seconds. When a coin is placed into a cache and then picked up and moved, well that geocacher has a history with it, so those logs will stay, a discovery at an event does not warrant the same consideration.

Awesome, would love to get some of these coins. Please - Remint!!!

I have a situation which I am having trouble getting resolved as the Coin I purchased from the previous owner have not sent me the adoption. I purchased the coin way back in February and posted a note on the coin page the I had received the coin and to please send over the adoption. I then put the coin away and forgot about it. Recently I realized that I never got the adoption request so I emailed the previous owner thru Geocaching.com, Ebay and Paypal. Still, no response. The Coin is The All American Geocoin http://coord.info/TB149WQ - Anybody got any ideas how I can get this coin transferred into my name?

This is also one awesome looking coin, sure hope I am able to get this one and the 'Dead Man's Party' Coin.

Very Cool Coin, Will you be taking any pre-sales orders?

My Guess is 92 coins

looks like 92 coins

Ok, today I was threatened with suspension because of the content on my trackable page. A travel slug geocoin of ours went missing, the last holder of the coin was rude and unsympathetic and just stated they placed it last summer into a cache, yet the coin still shows to be in 'there hand's' So placed this info into trackable page that the coin was lost by this geocacher. Now getting threatening emails from a Sara a Community Relations Representative - that if I don't change the content that I could face suspension. I do not believe this proper - Missing Travel Slug Ref #TB32ETK
