Maybe a better way to lead by example would be to say nothing at all regarding your opinion of the quality of the cache. "if you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all" Been there done that. I lead by example by hiding great caches in great locations. I also take the time to write long logs on nice caches. I even bookmark my favorite cache finds. Quote Link to comment
Mr.Yuck Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 every truthful log is a gift to the community. True. But I'm still trying to figure out how I can give a gift to the community if I'm ignoring a cache. And does anyone really notice I'm ignoring it? Sort of like if a tree falls in the woods kind of thing. Quote Link to comment

And does anyone really notice I'm ignoring it? Sort of like if a tree falls in the woods kind of thing. Well, I notice it, you can be sure. When I'm planning my caching day, I check all the logs of my potential targets to see if you have found them yet. If not, I assume that it's not worth my time, so it doesn't go onto my list.

+Rockin Roddy Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Well....here's my take on this. If you have to come into the forums and explain what the meaning is, do you really think those cache owners will know?? A small percentage (and I mean very small) of cachers actually visit the forums and even less will have noticed your thread! Just a thought. Welcome to caching and HAVE FUN!! Quote Link to comment

+Kohavis Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) I have a new abbreviation for caches unworthy of a nice log. "NNTS" Nothing Nice To Say. Maybe a better way to lead by example would be to say nothing at all regarding your opinion of the quality of the cache. "if you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all" I agree, if not in practice, at least in theory. I've posted snippy logs for some caches and I just hope the cache owner understands that it was made out of frustration. I certainly have gotten these kind of log entries on my caches. I understand. You spend sometimes an hour or more pursuing a cache, and it turns out as a DNF. Sometimes because of something stupid the cache owner did. It happens. We all must remember that nobody is compelled to actually hide caches. They do it to contribute to the sport, and if they didn't, we'd have nothing but benchmarks to go search for. I have to constantly remind myself that someone took the time to: 1. Research a good location 2. Find a container and camouflage it if needed. 3. Provide a logbook and sometimes a pencil. 4. Actually go hide it and record the location. 5. Submit the hide and wait, sometimes days, for it to be published. 6. Endure snippy log comments, like the kind I have left at times, taking it with a grain of salt. Bottom line: Cache hiders are the backbone of this sport, and they do it to make the sport better. Apart from their hide total, they usually don't benefit personally from hiding it. In fact, they must maintain it periodically. CACHE OWNERS!

+WebChimp Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I always try to be reasonably polite in my logs and try not to offend anyone Good approach. What Momma used to say still applies to us, and to cache logs: "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Of course there was always the guy who thought he was being nice when he referred to the new girl in class and said "She's got the purtiest buck teeth you ever seen." He's probably the one who writes logs such as "This 'un wasn't neat as bad as your last hide. You're shore gittin' better at this.". Quote Link to comment
