+lee737 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I think one reason why they are seemingly being abused, is that they are hidden away, why not make them like a normal cache, with public found logs. This might help discourage armchair logging, in that the community will see who is gaming the system. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
+thebruce0 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Not as a normal cache, but having a public listing of logs for sure. Part of the fun of geocaching is reading others' experiences. (even if it's skipping the "TFTC" logs) 4 1 Quote Link to comment
+Ifayra Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Honestly, I think that one who wants to cheat, does it anyway. But those are just betraying themselves, imo. I really do like Labs, they are a lot of fun and lead to interesting locations. And I also like to visit those places and learn some stuff about them. But for sure it would be much nicer to find them on the regular map, cause otherwise they might be overseen. Quote Link to comment

Some armchair loggers are beyond the point where they care what others think . But I agree, that the anonymity of ALC logs doesn't help here. With public logs, one could at least see who's cheating and I guess that would discourage at least some armchair logs. Honestly, I don't understand why clicking on the "Lab Cache" item in a cacher's find summary doesn't display a list of labs that cacher has found (like it's done for every other cache type).

But this has much improved since the "Activity log" has been introduced for ALCs. But it would be nice if one could access it directly via the website. 1 Quote Link to comment

Cannot be that hard to implement... Project GC's milestones page always shows the last cache you've found - it will show the name of the lab cache if that is the last. If they can show it, then geocaching.com should have no problem. Quote Link to comment

You can't see a list of Lab Caches they've found, but for other cache types you can. 1 Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) My question seemed to fit with the topic of this thread: "Adventure Labs Too Anonymous". Do I understand correctly that AL owners cannot see who has answered each question? How anonymous is it? If you don't leave a rating/comment, will the CO know that you completed the lab? I ask because of this: Note: Any logged finds that did not complete the adventure lab will be deleted. Edited June 19, 2020 by Max and 99 Quote Link to comment
+StefandD Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 As far as I know: no. Only cachers who rate/comment are visible. Second: deleting an online log is only allowed when: * The log book has not been signed. * When challenge cache conditions are not achieved, even if the log book is signed. * When earth/virtual cache conditions are not achieved. So deleting a log for any other reason (including not completing an ALC) is illegal in my opinion and should be reported to a local reviewer. 1 Quote Link to comment
