I attended an event where a geocache I own was in the same park. Someone says they couldn’t find it so I walked over and saw it was missing and replaced it. But there was also a throwdown that was missing the bottom. Somebody contacted me and let me know. I let them know which one was mine and they went and removed the throwdown.

Many new Cachers Don’t know the difference between owner maintenance and disabled. Lotta times they mean to disable but put under owner maintenance and doesn’t know that means it has already been maintained.

I wrote to HQ to ask to see if I do. Most of my accounts have separate emails. I don’t remember having one with 4 hides maybe my daughters? Haven’t checked that one yet

Think there is an error here

One reason I use s stamp, it is around my neck hardly runs out of ink, which I keep that in my car. But one day I forgot my stamp and a pen and got a stick, wet it got mud from the dirt and wrote my name and photographed in case it faded.

I would have excepted him putting a logsheet. We did have to set him straight about putting throw-downs. He thought he was helping.

Partially is the word. He once kept bringing up to me when I used my stamp and forgot to use the one with mine and another cacher on it who was with me so I re stamped it. It wasn’t even his cache.

Mine is smaller then most handwritten ones.

I don’t think it would’ve made any difference he was against using stamps before I deleted his log. He kind of made up his own rules or exaggerated Groundspeaks Guidelines.

I like Touchstone’s response above.

Wish they could allow us to lock caches when they are disabled or archived if the cache is out of play.

Latest message from HQ ”I have escalated my request to cease deleting logs based on a stamp being used, from a request to a warning. Let us know if he continues deleting after today.”

Maybe they should change it Mark the logsheet with your caching name or team

Thank you.

That or they didn’t want to put a needs maintenance. I’m not going run out every time someone logs one of my caches as a find. I had recently replaced a few finders before.

Nope just me by myself or I’m with friends, who I have one stamp where two of or three of us cache together but we would be together at the hide. I don’t use those stamps unless we are together. And if I accidentally use one, which I have, that cacher won’t log it.

I still haven’t responded to any of his messages but HQ sent him a message and this is his latest messages to me. "Must sign , with a pen ALL my caches . STAMPS WILL BE DELETED . You have been I formed . My caches , my guidelines . " Pictures of your stamp and the Stamps others used with your moniker have been sent to HQ .

No I did not say that. I deleted because he didn’t sign the log period. I deleted his other log claiming bad coords that he used bad language.

Touchstone is our reviewer. HQ also contacted me last night and said they messaged the cacher about deleting my finds because I used a stamp. I was allowed to relog and told to contact them again if he continues. Hopefully the cacher will understand.

I would but with past experience I think HQ would rather me not to contact him or his caches. Strange on this forum many posts you guys would say Delete the logs if it wasn’t signed. If I found a cache broken I would contact the co then go back when it was fixed.

Don’t we normally log a NM and wait til the cache is fixed. Or we are supposed log finds that we didn’t sign? I have been nice to him and he was nice to me but then he changed even before this happened.

The log he posted about it was not a nice one. I won’t repeat his bad language he used. Reviewers and HQ can see it. I’ve met him before but he is very moody.

I was maintaining about 6 earlier and this one was on my way to work.

I said he was newish not new. He has about 350 finds and over 40 hides.
