+Seth! Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Is there some way to prevent annoying cache logs like this? Imagine if everyone did that. Constructive replies only, please. Link to comment
Keystone Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 There is no site tool that allows suppression of the limited UBB code that's permissible in logs. You can write to the logger and ask them to re-log without the UBB code and smilies. If you ask nicely, he's likely to comply. If he doesn't, and you're bothered by it, you can try deleting his log. Then he can re-log, and you can delete again, and then he can appeal to Groundspeak for capricious deletion. Or, you could just let it go. I think that about covers it. Link to comment
+Kit Fox Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 That log doesn't look like HTML at all. UBB code is easy to alter the color and the font size. Link to comment

+Tequila Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 A quick check of his finds shows that he tends to do that with all his logs. Link to comment
+DavidMac Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) Wow, that would be annoying if everybody did that! Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Did you know that the forum software restricts the number of emoticons you can use in a post? I didn't know until I did the above. Maybe the same restriction could be applied to cache logs. Thankfully I haven't seen anything like that before. But I can say that I've never seen so much effort put into a copy/paste log. Edited November 22, 2008 by DavidMac Link to comment
+Corey Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I've seen similar techniques used that usually don't bother me, but on a cut-and-paste log? Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Tell him and his sister to change the date to 9/26, then all three annoying logs will be together, and off the first page. (And that they need to include the photo!) Link to comment

+paleolith Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Only thing that annoys me is their misspelling "already" in a cut-and-paste log. Edward Link to comment

+ShowStop Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) We have a few local geocachers that do the same thing. They go for the visual effect of the online logs and don't really care about the effect on the owner and/or watchlist recipients. It tends to get annoying and is mostly about being an attention whore rather then having any useful purpose. It would be nice to have UBB code stripped from emails logs, but I doubt that is gonna happen. Edited November 27, 2008 by ShowStop Link to comment
