Before I Become Jaded and Cynical

[+thedeadpirate]

Darn it !!! I said I was done but you guys keep reeling me in!!! I am so easily manipulated!! lol

 

Geo the question I have is- Do you then agree that the Guideline requires signing the log???

Before you answer I am not concerned ( nor was I ever) with the ALR's. It is clear they are gone.

Everything I have read seems to say that signing the log is a requirement for posting a find.

 

Again... before you answer... let me clarify I agree with everyone who has posted that there are circumstances I feel should be taken into consideration before deleting a find that doesnt have the corresponding physical log entry. I spent twenty minutes drying one page of one of the few finds we have, just so I could sign it. I am confident the Owner would have let me have the find if I didnt sign the log.

 

If I was hiding a cache, and someone took the time to email me or post the reason he didnt sign, and it was legitimate, I would let his Find stand.

I might add if someone sends me an email and says the log was wet, when previous AND subsequent finds made no mention of it, that one wouldn't pass. I am talking within reason in this example. If someone said it was wet and three months later someone said it was fine, this reasoning wouldnt apply.

I would hope if someone had logged a FI, then emailed me that they were unable to sign the physical log, that they would also log a NM on the online. At the time we signed the dried out log, I was unfamiliar with the NM post, and simply noted in my Found It post the log was WET.

I am not really concerned with whether or not others follow the rules. At least not to any great extent. I am , however, concerned with what those rules actually say.

This thread was started as an opinion guage and quickly turned into a rules argument. I am just as responsible for this as anyone. With so many varying opinions I felt the need (my own) to try and sort out what the rules actually say. I guess since its subject to the actual owner of the cache, it doesn't matter.

Somehow I think it should!!!

 

OK gimme the fork back!!!

 

You already have the only answer I am going to give you.

No, as every experienced cacher here has already explained to you signing the log is not required to log online but if the log is not signed the CO has the option of deleting it or leaving it as they choose..
