And after a week?

Hello, please advise. In this cache of my https://coord.info/GC45YRC, players are required to take pictures of themselves or a personal item on each stage and, in addition, complete a task on each stage. Unfortunately - the solution of the tasks appeared on the server with the final coordinates of the cache, so everyone sends the same answers and the mandatory photos from all stages were not fulfilled by anyone. I've already written to all the players to add photos, but no one has. What should I do? Should I delete all logs? What is the problem if a geological task is still being taken on site?

Yes - this was for a photo request. The player added only a photo of the GPS device to your Found it log.

The rules say I need to allow a log with a personal item. This is described in the requirements. The player did not meet these requirements. Like we said - I wrote to the reviewer and he will solve it.

I want to be fair to all players. I sent a question to the responsible reviewer for comment. I will fully respect his opinion.

Even this player has proven to cheat on another of my earthcaches in the past. I have to treat all players the same if I allow one player a photo where it's not recognizable and maybe it's not him - other players will want it too.

I understand your words. Unfortunately, you do not know this particular situation. Players in the Czech Republic often do not even visit the place, they pass on the answers to each other. In addition, existing servers where responses to earthcache are listed. This server is already solving HQ. It is also common for some players to take a picture of their GPS 8 times and log 8 players with one GPS in one hand. I understand that you do not know this situation outside the Czech Republic, but I encounter it commonly on my earthcaches. Please show this images.

Thank you for your opinion. You probably don't know this case specifically. The cache with this condition was approved by the reviewer. Of course, the player also has the option to attach a GPS photo with a nickname. HQ (reference number 1105673) has also already commented on these issues and found them to be in order (Megan communicated).

I deleted the log. The player did not meet the log condition. The condition of the logo is: Attach an identifiable photo of yourself or your GPS device with a legible nickname. The condition of the rules for a personal subject is fulfilled. The player knew the conditions in advance. If he does not agree with my rating - he can contact the reviewer geoawareCZ@gmail.com.

Thank your all.

I wanted to ask. If the earthcache owner wants to complete a task that is in violation of the current rules, do I have to do these tasks or are they voluntary? E.g. that it is not a geological task?

I have one problem I'm dealing with Groundspeak. The cache was lost and several players reported it. I did not disable the cache, but there were a couple of scammers who put a piece of paper in place and started writing on this paper that had nothing to do with the original cache. So, I deleted the logs because it is a cultural monument and the paper is not in the right place. Expression is so far such that these logos are fine. So I understand it well that if the cache is disfigured - do you just have to load the paper and the owner has to recognize all the other logos? This is demotivating, and it gives instructions on how to log a disaffected cache.
