geopunk

[+Bmxer11]

hey every one.you all know about the geo posers.but you guys take them to seriously.they just says they find the caches.when we actually find the cache we are filled with excitment and enjoyment.

 

all im trying to say is they wont feel the same as we will when we log a cache so why do you guys care so much. let them be geopunks.

[GOF and Bacall]

HAHA. Keep in mind that geocaching and this forum are two different things. Around here complaining is the big sport.

[+briansnat]

I see you don't own any caches. But say you do and your cache goes missing and you get 3 DNFs for your cache. You decide it's time to check on it, but just before you head out Geopunk logs a find, so you think "Hey, all is well" and leave it be.

 

Now I come along. I've been interested in your cache for some time and have it on my watchlist, but I saw the 3 DNFs and figured there was a problem with it and held off searching for it.

 

So the weekend comes and I'm finally able to get away from work and family responsibilities and I have a few hours free for caching. I target a cool looking cache in over in West County. Then just before I leave I see a log that says your cache has been found.

 

Well I always wanted to do it and hesitated to because there appeared to be issues with it, but Geopunk found it yesterday so it must be OK. So I gas up the car and head out the door to search for your cache. I get there and I'm having a hard time finding it. Well Geopunk found it yesterday I think, so it must be here, so I keep searching and searching. Well a gallon of gas and an hour of my time later I give up and go home, my geocaching time window exhausted. A wasted caching opportunity for me and your cache is still out there in need of maintenance and you think all is hunky dory with it.

Even if you sometimes stand alone.... it is better to stand up and point out something you know to be wrong.

 

A lie is a lie === even in Geocaching.

What StarBrand said.

 

The way I look at it, if you don't say something about it, speak out against it, it amounts to condoning the practice. The only thing worse is defending it.

 

If one's OK, aren't they all? You wanta live in a world like that? A lie is a lie, and liars should be branded as such.

I've got a question for BMXer. Not trying to be critical, I just don't know. How does a cacher who has been a member since Aug 1st have finds in July? Thanks, Griz

I can think of a few ways:

• Originally found cache as part of a team. Since decided to create own account. Logged any finds made with team to this account.
  
• Originally dragged along on cache hunt by geocaching friend. Caught the bug. Created account. Logged original finds.
  
• Stumbled into cache as muggle. Caught bug. Created account. Logged find.
  
• Hated old account name, but couldn't change it. Created new account. Relogged old finds.

Apparently. The Original post looks as though it was sent to the forums via cell phone text message. Having a teenaged daughter, I understand text. I believe Briansnat was counting down until people who don't "agree 100%" arrived in the thread. No names, of course.

ENGLISH VERSION OF MY REPLY:

I agree with you that the original post was extremely hard to read, and even harder to understand.

I personally find such types of messages to be rather annoying.

 

However, what I do, when I encounter such things, is to go to one of the many online TXT to English (and English to TXT) translators and plug the text in there to see what comes out.

 

One of several really good online translators may be found at:

However, many "texters" also mix in another language, often called "Leet" or "elite" and thus you may also need to employ a Leet-to-English translator as well!

I'll take a crack at deciphering it too.

 

He's suggesting that people in the forums get too worked up about fake loggers. He says that the fake loggers don't get the excitement and enjoyment that we do when we actually find it, so they're missing out even if they do get the smiley.

 

Finally, he wonders why some people in the forums seem to care so much about the fake finders.

And.... in all honesty and fairness, it appears that the original post by the OP was NOT really written in Text talk, aka SMS talk, nor in L337 talk (aka Leet talk), but rather, it appears that he was writing in his own private personal cryptic shorthand style, one that seems to consist of putting thought fragments to words, not caring about sentence structure or syntax, and not paying attention to normal rules of capitalization. It took me a number of reads before I could understand what he was trying to say.

Finally, he wonders why some people in the forums seem to care so much about the fake finders.

Fortunately he can read Briansnat's post and it should finally be clear, without question, why people care.

I had to read this a few times before I figured out what you were trying to say....

 

Anyhow, some of us care because we have agreed to follow the guidelines:

 

Cache Maintenance

The cache owner will assume all responsibility of their cache listings. The responsibility of your listing includes quality control of posts to the cache page. Delete any logs that appear to be bogus, counterfeit, off topic, or not within the stated requirements.

[+WRASTRO]

Ok, I am going with don't lie. It seems pretty simple to me. Bogus postings are just lies and I have no use for them. When they affect the way I play the game they harm me because they waste my time. Any questions? Buehler?

Actually, that is debatable. When I speak to the students using normal (i.e. "standard English") speech, they very frequently fail to comprehend not only many of the individual words, but also the broader meaning as well. Contemporary teens (I refuse to entertain the notion that the OP is anything but an adolescent) take no pride in being linguistically accurate, and cannot seem to grasp even the most the fundamental points of grammar, syntax, spelling, and expression. Sad.

 

Edited to add: Pardon me, I just now looked at the OP's profile and see that he is indeed rather young. Perhaps he will learn in time to exercise more care and take more pride in his written communication.
