+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) I've been looking through the logbook of a cache I recently pulled from it's hiding place(over a year after I archived it). I found several names in the book that never logged online. I see from their stats that they DO log finds online, so I guess this one was just forgotten(it happens). I've sent notes to each of them letting them know that I'll be asking the page to be locked* soon, and giving them a last chance to log online. Has anyone else ever sent reminders to people they found in the logbook? I guess that's the opposite of deleting logs for people who didn't sign? I only found one of the people who has never logged online, so I guess he just doesn't do that. *I'll be sending the Cache out as a Travel Bug, so I don't want people logging finds in that state, I want the page to stay as is when it's traveling. Can Cache pages be locked by request? Edited March 31, 2010 by WRITE SHOP ROBERT Quote
+BlueDeuce Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) Cache pages can be locked but since your travel bug won't have anything to do with the cache page I'm not sure why you would need it locked. Those catching up on their cache logging could still log the archived cache. Edit: perhaps if you are referencing the cache page when you send out your bug then yes you might want it locked. I'm not sure gc.com would do that. They may just say delete the invalid finds. Edited March 31, 2010 by BlueDeuce Quote

Yeah, I plan to describe the Cache on the TB page and I want to avoid the confusion of people logging finds for the cache. I guess I could do the deletion bit, but it would easier for everyone if the page gets locked. I guess it can't hurt to ask them. I'd really like to avoid people even posting notes to the page...why?? Just because. No good reason. Quote

Can Cache pages be locked by request? I see nothing wrong with that. I am pretty sure I have forgotten to log one or two. I would appreciate being reminded that I did indeed find it so I could log it online. I think it's a commendable thing to do. Quote

I guess the question should also include...Has anyone ever sent you a reminder. I just got a log from one of those that I reminded. Quote

+DarkZen Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Yep, I've sent out a few. These were to cachers that do log online and yet, to date, no one has taken me up on it. Meh. Quote
