I'd love to hear about other people's experiences with bot account logs. I've asked some of my cache owner friends but they said they don't have the same issue.
My caches get a large amount of bogus logs that I figure are robot and not actually human powered accounts: usually they only have one or two finds, the profile isn't set up and they haven't visited the website. The logs don't make sense and/or are very short and the cache logbook isn't actually signed.
These bot logs also tend to happen in waves. I'll wake up to a slew of log messages that supposedly happened during the night with none of them being real. They tend to happen more often after some activity happened with the cache; either when a real account logged it or when I post, or just after I have used the website. So I suspect the cache activity is a trigger for the bots somehow.
I've been deleting these logs because it affects the health of my caches, but it's super annoying. As you can see, this morning someone listed the cache as NM with a nonsense remark, which is the first time this has happened. (Cache is fine, just checked.) Usually it's either found (like the ones below) or DNF logs - super random.
Does anyone know what the point is of bot accounts that are just used to fake log a single cache once? And why fake log as DNF or NM? Is there anything I can do to make it stop?
