I have carefully read and considered all the logs as the OP. I appreciate the support of many, but have decided to delete my found log of the webcam. I strongly believe a log deletion after 2 1/2 years is wrong (which is the point of the original post.) However, I will defer to the CO's requirement that the mandatory pic at the shoulder of the road and NOT ACROSS of the road -- regardless of when the rule was instituted. Final thought. It was not my intent to bully and shame the CO, and I apologize to him and to those who think that this was my motivation. It certainly was not.

KonaJake has done the honorable thing and allowed the aggrieved to relog their caches. Tip of the hat! Awesome Move! Now, let's encourage him to enable the cache, he disabled due to the frasques, and, in KonaJake's words . . . .Cache on :-) This iconic webcam cache from 2004 with over 100 favs needs to be available to the community. For my part, I apologize if I caused a ruckus. Not my intention to have the cache archived. And I'll meet the co halfway, I promise to read instructions more carefully in the future! Fair enough?

Many geocachers had their logs deleted yesterday from GCM9CJ, KAILUA-KONA~Webcam: (NO photo across the road!) The offense? Seems the cache owner wants pics taken on the webcam at the shoulder of the road, and not ACROSS the road. So, you all say, what’s the big deal? A CO can pretty much do as they please. Right? Well, in this instance I logged the cache over 2 ½ years ago, 8/3/15. Log got deleted 2/10/18. Also, the CO has changed the name and the requirements of the webcam. He added all sorts of nice instructions and admonitions that were not in place when I logged the cache, e.g. stand above the date in the pic. These are new requirements. Yes, I do confess I am a scofflaw and logged the cache where the webcam could see me across the road. But, that’s not good enough for the CO. He wants it on the shoulder of the road, not on the safe sidewalk. Of course, the webcam moves, and isn’t always on his preferred “x.” I digress. Now, I’m not a complete a**. I politely sent the co this message yesterday; “I respectfully ask you undelete my and Kelsoboom's logs. Or, I will escalate to boards and Groundspeak.” Crickets. Others have notified Groundspeak of their displeasure. I don’t have any connections there, or in Hawaii, so I am posting this here. I guess the question is does a CO have the right to delete a 2 ½ year old log because he doesn’t like where you stand in the webcam pic? Looking forward to your comments, and Groundspeak input.
