+CarSim97 9 Posted May 2, 2020 Team MSBMS just logged an other one of our TB's for which the code was posted today on the infamous FB page. Log text: "Découvert durant le confinement du Covid-19.Bonjour du Nord de la France. Merci pour le partage." TB locked, log deleted. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Yes, just received two other emails from logs of them on our tb's. And when I wanted to delete the last one, the log was already deleted. Thx Groundspeak for the quick action taken.

Yes, 13 of mine have now been discovered and the logs are still coming in, but thanks for the prompt action. I would hope that the account gets locked rather than just logs deleted otherwise they haven't really lost anything... Quote Share this post Link to post
+steben6 11 Posted May 2, 2020 I am so appreciative of the quick action HQ takes in these cases. All the logs on my coins were deleted and the loggers account locked. Thank you! Happy Blue Switch Day! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
+CarSim97 9 Posted May 5, 2020 Was just browsing my FB timeline, and turns out there are more of these FB groups to share TB codes. (How naive I was). Since I'm a member of a geocoin group on FB, it was suggested to me as something I might have interest in. Mind you, these groups haven't shared our codes (yet), but something annoyed me in their group description, which is private by the way, so don't know what and how much they have shared (it started in 2018): Quote This group is to share trackable codes with other geocachers.The trackables on this group are not all owned ... some are ones that have been found on our journey. If a TB owner wants their TB removed ... the owner must send the TB code to be removed. This group is not to start controversy but rather to share the love of TBs This is the other way round. Not only can't I check if my codes are on there, also when it's posted their, since it's private and can't see the posts, but I shouldn't even have to. Why not share your own TB codes only in that group if you want to? Why should a group member decide to post my code there if they may have seen me in the "wild" and they took a picture of or scribbled down one of my trackable garments?! Since it's a private group I can't contact them to ask them this vary question and don't feel like becoming a member. One other thing: The infamous public page on FB for which we have had several bogus logs, has this website mentioned on their FB page details: logthemall.org. When you go to that website you can bulk log trackables and at the bottom it reads: Authorized developer for the Groundspeak API, which links to the geocaching profile of Cano. Doubt however that this geocacher knows this FB page link exists and doubt if (s)he wants to be associated with this page.... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

So these freaks think that if you don't contact them, it's perfectly okay to do this. Arrogant pieces of carp. I'd really like see every one of these maggots removed from the hobby. Makes you want to rush right out and buy another trackable, doesn't it... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

I've logged Discover on trackables I spot on the internet (the last with this latest mars rover thing ...2 of 'em) for years, and similar to this cacher, explain in a lot more detail where I saw it. We've received a lot of email from folks thanking us for taking the time to help them out. So far, most were their own photos showing the code right on their trackable's page. BTW, a trackable is only "counted" once, even though you may find it years later and log it again and again. How many people would remember they saw a common trackable ten years earlier ? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
