Generic logs

[+blingg]

I have a problem with a Waymarker submitting found logs to my waymarks using the same generic log each time, basically "Going back through my hard drives from last year. Apologies for the late log but managed to grab this on the way through the area." , there is never a impression of the waymark he has visited. Am I correct in deleting the logs while at the same time asking that he adheres to the visit instructions

I'm not sure what Waymarking is (looking for things?), but if this were a cache I would be asking what date they found the cache and then checking photographs of the log I take when checking the cache, or keeping note of the name for next time I check the log. Some caches I might only check every couple of years.

What I do: CHECK the visiting requirements. If the requirements are met, I let the log stand. I'm not always happy about it, but I go with the visit requirements. Once in a while someone will make up their own visit requirements.

I'm getting mixed messages from your post, so I'm not sure if you are deleting because of the same generic log, or the visit requirement is not being met?

I have no problem deleting logs that don't meet the requirements.

Basically, you take a photo as proof instead of signing a physical log.

 

Waymarking is a way to mark unique locations on the planet and give them a voice. While GPS technology allows us to pinpoint any location on the planet, mark the location, and share it with others, Waymarking is the toolset for categorizing and adding unique information for that location. Groundspeak's slogan is "The Language of Location" and our goal is to give people the tools to help others share and discover unique and interesting locations on the planet. We invite you to share your part of the world with us through Waymarking.com.

What is a waymark?

A waymark is a physical location on the planet marked by coordinates (latitude/longitude) and contains unique information defined by its waymark category. An outdoor maze category, for example, could contain information like price of admission and days of operation, while a statue category may describe the artist's medium and date of dedication.

If the person hasn't met the requirements to record a visit then delete the log & notify them. I did this several years ago for a large number of visits by a particular person who recorded visits along the lines that they lived in the area & would have visited the site at some stage. They needed a combination of waymarks to allow them to look for a geocache.  After the deletions by myself (& another from across the ditch), they visited the waymarks & took the required photos.
