+Don_J Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (If this has been discussed, please direct me and close this topic) I'm happy with the new ability to delete images from logs posted to our cache listings and found it necessary to do so with a blatant spoiler photo. I noticed that the action created a Reviewer Note, which is immediately archived. The note has the link to the photo which is still stored on the server. Additionally, the note generates an email to the owner as well as anyone that has the cache on their Watchlist or a watched Bookmark list. The link is copied into the email. The end result is that the website sent a direct link of a spoiler photo to the very people that I did not want to see the photo. IMO, this note should be emailed to the owner only.

+MAntunes Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I agree with this suggestion. Good point. Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thank you for reporting this behavior. I've added this bug to our internal queue. Quote Link to comment
geopate Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I have also experienced this situation. Suggested that in addition to being sent only to the Owner, was also sent to the Geocacher who placed the photo, since it may have spent some time and no longer remember it. Sensitises better too.

+gizmo_81 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 At the moment a Reviewer Note (e.g. removing a Spoiler Picture) is sent to the whole watchlist. In this Reviewer Note is also a link to the Picture. Although it is now removed from the listing but the entire watch list has a link to the image. The logtype "Reviewer Note" shouldn't be sent to the watchlist. Quote Link to comment

LQ Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Merging duplicate topics. Any idea when it will be fixed? It's been over three four months. There are some important facebook enhancements that need to be done first. I have also seen this 'feature'. As it is now, the workaround would be to delete the entire log, that has the offending picture. As you probably know, this will generate an email to the log owner. Unfortunately you can't add a reason, when you delete a log. (Someone must have suggested this feature, if not then I just did.) Quote Link to comment
+Toxic! Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Hi there, since some month you have the possibility (as an owner of a cache) to delete images of other users. This feature is very usefull, especially when this picture contains spoiler like GPS-EXIFs. Unfortunately a mail with a reviewer note is send to the watchlist, when deleting an image! This mail also contains a persistant link to this image and the reason of deletion. I think, that this doesn't make sense ... Regards, Toxic! Example: Subject: [LOG] Watchlist: Toxic! posted a reviewer note for Toxic - Im Tiefflug ueber Orschel (Unknown Cache) You are receiving this email because this listing is on your watch list.

+Isonzo Karst Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Interesting. The programming around image deletion doesn't seem right. I don't see any reason for it to be associated with a log type. If you deleted the entire log, that doesn't create a "reviewer note" The owner of the log is notified. If you delete an image on a Trackable that you own, you're informed that you "Could Not Find" the trackable! seriously. Your email address is sent to the person whose image you deleted. Whether you elected to make it public or not. You lose the option to email back and forth through the site, protecting your email address. Here's what the image deletion notice looks like to the owner of the trackble, the person who did the image deletion: From: Geocaching < noreply@geocaching.com > To: my email Subject [LOG] Owner: Isonzo Karst couldn't find 09-09-09 Cloud 9 Multievent Geocoin (09-09-09 Cloud 9 Multievent Geocoin) You are receiving this email because you are the owner of this listing. Isonzo Karst couldn't find 09-09-09 Cloud 9 Multievent Geocoin (09-09-09 Cloud 9 Multievent Geocoin) at 9/27/2012 Log Date: 9/27/2012 This is an automated message. Reason for deletion: ugly!
