+Jon Law Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) I have a question for the group. I find a cache one day and I am the FTF. But the cache was around 200' off the mark. My log listed that the cache was found, and I posted the coordinates I came up with. Cache owner updates their coordinates, posted the distance charge at 198.9 feet, and deletes my log. So is there a method to contest the deletion? I did get an email from the cache owner about a no trespassing sign I passed on the way out, but nothing mentioning that he/she would be deleting the log. Edited January 31, 2009 by Jon Law Quote
+TotemLake Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 You'll find most of us are pretty laid back about such things here in the Northwest. No sense in getting your shorts all bundled up in a tiff. And folks are hesitant in this forum to post an opinion on just one side of the story. The general forum however.... Quote
jholly Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Yea, I'll wait for Paul Harvey and page 4. Jim Quote
+YeOleImposter Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) I am guessing that the owner did not want to advertise how far off his coordinates were. If nothing was said about deleting the log, I would just re-log it without mentioning the 200' part Edited January 31, 2009 by YeOleImposter Quote
jholly Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I am guessing that the owner did not want to advertise how far off his coordinates were. If nothing was said about deleting the log, I would just re-log it without mentioning the 200' part When the owner updated the co-ordinates the distance moved is part of the automatically generated log. Hmmm, I wonder if the cache owner can delete that log? Being the curious type I checked one of my caches that I moved the co-ordinates on. It seems I can't do much with the log, so I guess it has to stay. The OP did not say he mentioned the distance, just the new co-ordinates. If he did not mention the distance moved then I could speculate on the reasons for the deletion, but given that I'm not sure we have the rest of the story I'll keep them to my self. Jim Quote
+W7WT Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) Since we don't know anything about the cache, I will also throw in my guess. I have the feeling you may have come out from finding the cache on private property and that is what the owner is upset about. Dick Edited January 31, 2009 by W7WT Quote
+Jomer & Traci Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 If you use CacheStats to publish your stats on geocaching.com, you can set your FTF's manually. That way, even if they don't recognize you on the cache page, your page will always hold the FTF! Quote
+Bad Duck Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 I looked at the cache in question and see both your logs. Two find logs in a row. Quote
+Prying Pandora Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 I just had a peek at it too, and it shows that you have two finds on that one. So either your original log was restored or you logged 3 finds on it and only one was deleted. You'll probably want to fix that so you only have one smiley. Quote
