+The Blorenges Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Well... Hmmmm... I presume that you checked that there were no other signatures in the logbook when you signed it? Sometimes caches are hidden for events without being reviewed and published. Their details are given out on paper to those attending the event. Then later (hopefully) the cache gets published after the event. If this is not the scenario then I can only say, "Ho hmmmm." MrsB Link to comment
I! Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 It's an outrage! How dare they! Delete those cheating vermin! Link to comment
Mr.Yuck Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 It's an outrage! How dare they! Delete those cheating vermin! How did I know someone would find that? For the record, that log is not from sstich. However, you and that person really need to get different avatars, very confusing. So there is currently no find log from before publishing. My first inclination, and I'll bet I'm right, is someone behind on all their logging from the area around GW simply logged the wrong cache. Link to comment
I! Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I hope the deleted log was from Baad Daata, as that would make for a lovely crossover opportunity for this and the "Deleted logs" thread. Oh, the angst! Link to comment

knowschad Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm guessing "honest mistake" myself. To call your fellow cachers "vermin" in a log is something that should not be tolerated. Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) I'm guessing "honest mistake" myself This ^ Dude, get a grip, calm down. Someone made a logging error. Their high find count doesn't make them automatically suspect, and not people who, "lie and cheat". They likely mis-entered a GC Code, all that was needed was (for the cache owner) to nicely inquire if they'd meant to log this particular cache. If they'd meant to cheat, the log wouldn't have been dated a week before the cache was published. Edited June 10, 2012 by Isonzo Karst Link to comment
+ChileHead Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm going to call this the worst wrongly accused thread ever! It's obvious that the cachers mistakenly logged the wrong cache. Nobody is going to falsely claim they found the cache before it was published. I can't imagine taking the time to call people vermin in this situation. Chill out. Link to comment

My goodness, I certainly didn't mean to stir things up so much. The logs are gone now, but there were details in one of them that indicated that they did, in fact, mean to log this particular cache. That's why I found them so fishy. And yes, my friend was inappropriate in his note, I don't disagree with that at all. I'll fuss at him today. Link to comment
+Don_J Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm guessing "honest mistake" myself. To call your fellow cachers "vermin" in a log is something that should not be tolerated. Especially since with the dates involved, it was entirely possible that log could have been legit. It was published Jun 4, but the placed date is May 29, which is usually the date that the cache was submitted, unless the CO corrects it. It's entirely possible that it could have been hidden two days earlier and the logger got a heads up from the CO. This is one of the reasons why people should just let the CO worry about bogus logs. Calling people names on someone elses listing is crass. Link to comment

I obviously would have felt differently if there had been other signatures before ours. And as someone above pointed out, I wasn't the one who posted that note... but I just let him know, and he'll be deleting it. Edited June 10, 2012 by sstich79 Link to comment

Serial "TFTC" only loggers? That's a tough call, man. I could possibly roll with Vermin on that one. In fairness, the log was blank when we signed it in the FTF spot...

4wheelin_fool Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Well, on www.fiverr.com there is someone in Devon, UK that will sign you into any local geocache for $5. I've heard of similar posts on Craigslist. This takes armchair caching to a new level. With your username in the logbook, it is completely legal, and would satisfy most Puritan Couchpotato loggers!
