I think my TB is being spammed.

I'm not sure what to do about it, but the email notifications are relentless.

 

Have a look. Tracking number: <tracking number removed by moderator>

 

Any ideas?

You should not post the tacking number on line. You need to use TB3RGT5 for that coin.

"Found him on instagram,"

 

Think maybe you posted a photo showing the tracking number or simply posted it? (as you did here)

The irony is so thick you can cut it with a knife...

A simple Google search directs you straight to a page about trackable numbers available off of the internet. Facebook has a page which publishes these too.

Why are we googling a gc.com issue when the gc.com site is right here? Tu sais pas?

Because only Google can find pages outside of these forums, and the sites publishing these numbers are not a part of the forums.

Far out. I'll use it as my standard reply.

And it looks like Zeck even logged a discovery on it. Now we know exactly which geocacher posted it online (at least on that blog. There could be others).

Delete the logs.

Edit your TB page to say you will delete any bogus virtual logs.

Groundspeak has been made aware of this, but has no control over people's blogs. What irks me is that they even state that they know it's wrong. And yet they do it anyway.

Have you posted a photo or given out the tracking number online? if you can take the number down, because that is why people know that number, and it won't stop until you take it all down.

I guess I could have afforded a little more specificity. I have posted a few of these on instagram, but to me it's just like sharing them with people at events, or in person. What I was getting at was the log by "Naesby" and the number of times it hit the page in a row.

 

What I was looking to do was ask that user about it, and make have him make sure his account hadn't been compromised or something of that nature. Looking through a few of the other trackables they've logged, I see the same message numerous times.

 

Also, i see my tracking number has been removed here. Sorry about that. I wanted to be able to show what I was talking about, and I thought "Use ******* to reference this item" meant that possibly I was giving access to the page without the option to log anything on it. The tracking number on the right of the screen is different, and I couldn't remember which one was actually on the coin. My mistake.

 

So just delete the logs? That's what I'll do. Thank you.

but it's not like sharing them with people at events or in person. there you are sharing the physical TB or coin, letting people see it and it some cases hold it. posting a number found online goes against the whole intent of discovery of a physical item. and if you are sharing a number from a bug that isn't yours, that is totally wrong and i can see people getting very upset about that.
