+pchappuis Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hello. I ask if it s possible to add a field for explain the reason for why we delete a log on our caches (for example, on a virtual, the cacher logged it, but solved no clues and posted no picture). I deleted the log, but it s not possible to explain why. Thank you in advance for answer. 6 2 Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 +1 The suggestion seems familiar. Anyway, it would be good to have a way to add something to the deletion notice. Something like the new photo deletion “reason” form has. I send a couple of messages/emails prior to deleting someone’s log, but that one final info text couldn’t hurt. 3 2 Quote Link to comment

+cerberus1 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 When maintenance is done, if we need to delete fakers I'd post a "found a lotta fakers this time, you know who you are, and why your name's no-longer here " or similar on the cache page. Sometimes other finders rat those fakers out in their logs too. Once the doc says I'm good to play, I have a couple right now... IIRC, we have to specify a reason to delete a photo. A pic is only an add-on to that log. Guess I'd like to see that too. Quote Link to comment

I take photographs of the log and if I can't find someone's signature, I send a note to them asking them to please point out their signature, as I might have missed seeing it ?. I did on one occasion not recognise the signature. When pointed out to me, I could see the name if I studied the scrawl hard. One replied, words similar to, it's a game and they didn't feel the need to be pedantic and bother signing. Deleted. Many don't reply. If they do with other good proof the log stays. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) I find it odd that the site requires cache owners to type out a justification for deleting a photo from a log, but not for deleting an entire log - even when that log contains a photo. Especially since the deletion of an entire log is more likely to trigger an appeal by the cacher than deleting a photo. I crave consistency. Either I need to justify it as the CO, or I don't. So it should either be required for both photo and log deletions, or for neither. Edited July 2, 2019 by hzoi 6 2 Quote Link to comment
