Logs edited tag

Why do we need a big blinking light that informs everyone that the log has been edited.

What does it matter to other viewers that the log was edited usually it is just a typo or spelling error.

 

Why can't Groundspeak get rid of this total useless information...just edit the log and shut up about it.

Why don't just delete your log and relog the find? This will eliminate the edited tag.

[Keystone]

You have a ten minute grace period in which to edit your log without the tag showing up. Take a minute to proofread your log before posting it, or right after posting it, or use a browser-based spellchecker.

 

The edit information is useful for a number of reasons.

Its useful to tell if some has actually changed the log after you asked them to

I would think if someone wanted a log changed, they would take the time to read the log entry to see if the offending material was removed - rather than just looking to see if it had been edited.

Also, it could be used to change a note to a found, without the cache owner being notified.

I can see your point, and I really don't know why it's there. But I highly doubt it's going to change. There is the 10 minute grace period, as Keystone mentioned, And I've noticed long ago, that if your log is "multi-edited", you can remove all but one of the tags, as the 2nd tag (or more) appear as text in your log that you can delete.
