I have to agree with everyone else. I have gone out for an FTF and some one else beat me to it. So when I got home to log my finds they had not logged their FTF. But that doesn't mean Im gonna wait around for them to post it. It could be days before they log it as long as you are not claiming FTF for yourself when you know your not, then I don't see the problem with logging it before they do.
It kinda all goes with the other post about NOT logging FTF finds. Unfortunately I have had the happen to me. I completely understand that you may not get to a computer right away, or your still out finding more caches, but the caches that I thought I was FTF for, the true FTF group found the cache literally 16 hrs before me and had not logged it on the site yet And by the time I got home they still hadnt logged it so I wasnt waiting for them so I logged my find but noted that I was NOT the FTF So yes I was a little upset because what I thought was an FTF was not, but on the other hand some ppl thrive on getting FTF, so when you see a new cache pop up, dont waste no time to gear up and head on out!
