NW Stinkerbella Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I'm sure this has been asked and answered but a quick search didn't give me any results. So I'll ask... What do I do about a cacher who used my Top Secret TB code in their logs... Dropped TB ****** in Chicago per her request, maybe someone can take her to Florida. and in a second log A little soggy but drooped TB ****** as she wanted to go to Chicago, now see if someone can get her to Florida : ) My caching partner caught this last week and emailed the logger of their error and asked them to edit their logs. I checked today and the logs as still there I've emailed them again asking them to edit their logs. What should I do next if they don't edit them? Quote Link to comment

I would be emailing the cache owner to remove the log, it is my understanding that the owner of a cache has the ability to do this. Quote Link to comment
+Fiver1 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 If it was me and they didn't edit the logs by now, I would simply delete them and send the cacher an email telling them what the reason was for the deletion. I would also ask them not to post tracking numbers in logs in the future and explain why. Quote Link to comment
+Kacher82 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 If it was me and they didn't edit the logs by now, I would simply delete them and send the cacher an email telling them what the reason was for the deletion. I would also ask them not to post tracking numbers in logs in the future and explain why. If the logs were on the TB page, the OP could delete them. It sounds to me like they are on the cache page. I'd email the CO, and if they didn't delete the logs, I'd report it to Groundspeak and see if someone there could. They have rules about posting tracking codes online, so I'd think they could do something about it. Quote Link to comment
NW Stinkerbella Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Yes they did it on the cache page, or I would have deleted the log already, and emailed them with an explaination. I've emailed them once today and as I said my caching partner who caught it the day they did it emailed them back then. Guess I'll try the CO and see what they can do to help. I know the longer it's out there the better chance of getting on one of those virtual "discover" lists that are so popular these days. Quote Link to comment

I know the longer it's out there the better chance of getting on one of those virtual "discover" lists that are so popular these days. If you can't get the CO to delete it--and even if they do, the logger might just reenter exactly the same thing--send an email to Eartha (moderator of this forum) and she will fix it for you. She is wonderful about taking care of our trackables. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Volunteer Cache Reviewers can also edit logs for caches in their territory, to remove the secret tracking code. You can also write to Groundspeak through the Help Center. Quote Link to comment
NW Stinkerbella Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 UPDATE - I guess my email to the CO was of some help they encrypted one of the 2 logs with the code, not that is a very good solution. One encrypted log and one still log boldly proclaiming my TB's code. I'll drop a line to Groundspeak and see what comes of that. Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Send me a link. I can edit it, without deleting the whole log. Quote Link to comment
+fuzziebear3 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Remind them that they can use the public tracking number TBXXXXX from the page in logs, but that they should not post the secret number from the item in the logs. Quote Link to comment
NW Stinkerbella Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Thanks to everyone... my TB's code is once again safe. Happy and safe 4th to all Quote Link to comment
