Rob & Lisa Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 Hi. We've got a log on our Viaduct View cache that is dated February 2, 2024 so it always sits at the top of the log pages. I have emailed the user but they have not responded. Is there a way to get the log date changed to a more reasonable year? Should users be prevented from entering dates past today? Ok, 10 metres. It's somewhere around here... Quote Link to comment
+Slytherin Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 Give them a set time to fix it, and if they don't then delete the log. Quote Link to comment
The Baron of Basingstoke Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 I reckon it is sharp practice to put such a date in but I also think it is a bit unfair to delete the log too - especially if it is acceptable in all other respects. Is it possible to re-date it so it appears at the bottom? That would teach 'em! Not having set up any cache I'm not sure whether this can be done by the cache placer. Quote Link to comment
+jeremyp Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 I think it was nothing more than an honest mistake. The cacher in question only has two caches to his name. The other one he found on 24/2/02 which is the same as 2/2/2024 with the fields reversed. There is a thread in the general forum talking about deleting caches for other reasons and it's getting quite heated It's this one: http://opentopic.Groundspeak.com/0/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=1750973553&f=3000917383&m=1530966114 On the basis that the cacher has just made a mistake, this is what I would do. Save a copy of the text and then delete the log. E-mail the user to say why it is deleted and include the original text so that the user can repost a new log. The e-mail would be in *polite* language and would explain your reasons for deleting the log (it always floats to the top of the list). The cacher does not seem to read his e-mail often, so I'd also post a note in the cache log with similar text to the e-mail in case he reads the cache site more often than his e-mail. ------- jeremyp We're going to need a bigger boat!

Rob & Lisa Posted March 25, 2002 Author Share Posted March 25, 2002 Ok, I've deleted the log and added a log myself with the original text for the correct date. I've also sent an email to dancalvert saying what I've done. Hopefully that should be ok. Ok, 10 metres. It's somewhere around here... Quote Link to comment
