+''mykez'' Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'm never very good at being sure of what to say. Could someone have a quick look on my logs and see if i'm doing this the correct way. I noticed a lot of poeple don't write much in their logs I have only found 4 caches, they can be found on my profile here:- http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?tx=32bc9333-5e52-4957-b0f6-5a2c8fc7b257&ul=mike%2bann&sc=n Quote Link to comment
+Panther&Pine Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Your logs look fine. I don't tend to leave long logs but I try and make them relevent to the cache- either the find, the trip or the adventure after. Quote Link to comment
+''mykez'' Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Ok thanks! I have a habit of rambling on and going of subject lol Quote Link to comment
+dfx Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Ok thanks! I have a habit of rambling on and going of subject lol Not a problem at all, COs generally appreciate longer logs more than shorter ones. Quote Link to comment
+pklong Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Your logs are good. Much better than most bother writing. Nothing wrong with writing a longer log if you wish. Quote Link to comment
+thehalibutkid Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Yeah your logs look fine to me. Relevant to the cache being logged and some pertinant info for the CO. Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Logs look fine to me too. There have been several discussions on here lately bemoaning blank/single word logs, but yours tell a bit about your adventure and I expect most cache owners would be pleased to read them. Keep it up! M: Quote Link to comment
+''mykez'' Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Ok thank you everyone! I just thought if I was a CO I would like to receive long-ish logs. Quote Link to comment
+Splendidz Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Ok thank you everyone! I just thought if I was a CO I would like to receive long-ish logs. Your logs are great and it looks like you're not far from me - So I will be happy if you find any of my caches and leave nice long logs Edited June 27, 2011 by Splendidz Quote Link to comment

+rickardclan Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'd echo others comments but also add it's _your_ game, so say what you like. I have to say that as a CO I appreciate longer logs, also ones that give me a heads up on the condition of the cache, either blank or "TFTC" logs are a bit boring, but that's up to the finders at the end of the day - and some do log at gz on phones, so long logs are harder that way.... I do think that ripping on a cache is a bit much, even the really rubbish ones took a bit of time - diplomacy is a good route Oh, and for the record, I waffle all over my logs ;-) Quote Link to comment
+Splendidz Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hi splendidz! Where do you live then? I'm live in Market Harborough - most of my caches within 3 miles of there - Some of them are rather mad/different though! (and I do have 4 kayak/canoe caches near Thrapston) Quote Link to comment
+The_Street_Searchers Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I do think that ripping on a cache is a bit much, even the really rubbish ones took a bit of time - diplomacy is a good route As always with a forum someone has to disagree If I find a rubbish cache I say so in my log..especially if it is a new cacher. For Example This one - http://coord.info/GC2MJZW Based on my log the owner moved the cache to a location 100 times better, how can new cachers expect to learn if you are not honest?

Seconded - although I am repeating myself from the other topic similar to this one. We found GC2K1X6 on 28th May and advised that IMO, it could be improved if moved. It was moved and consequently improved. Some cachers will take it as a rebuff but if you word you log in the right way, most will act on it, in my experience. Quote Link to comment

I wouldn't stand in the way of honesty, but I've seen a few logs just giving the CO a hard time, not the most constructive IMO I just read your log, and I wouldn't call that ripping on a cache, more than respectful to the CO, and after all they do have to learn somewhere don't they?

Yup. That's why 'TFTC' or (.) is of no use whatsoever but don't get me on that old chestnut, we've done that do death on here lately. Anyway, in answer to your question, your logs look great to me. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment
