+RobertM Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 For those with any doubt that a famous cheater is an approver, see the link below. And it's been confirmed by others present when they did the cache that MrGigabyte was there. Isn't geocaching exciting. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LU...a5-80131820074c Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 (edited) There never was any doubt. Its pretty much common knowlede, but I don't see the point of bringing it up again Edited June 4, 2004 by briansnat Quote Link to comment
+RobertM Posted June 4, 2004 Author Share Posted June 4, 2004 But it sure is a beautiful little nugget that deserves its 5 minutes of fame. Quote Link to comment
nickie218 Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 "Famous cheater" Arent you being a little bit dramatic? I read the log and I am assuming you are referring to the cheating part as "I did correctly locate the hiding spot though, as I rehid the cache." Big freaking deal!! Does this make him a famous cheater because he did things a little backwards(i.e. signed log book and replaced cache)...not in my books. If he is a cheater than everyone who participates in a group cache is a cheater...since it is usually only one or two who find the cache and scream for the rest of us. Just my 2 cents Nickie...........a cheater too Quote Link to comment

I'm not referring to his current log, but who logged it. Duh! See this thread: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=49752 Edited June 4, 2004 by RobertM Quote Link to comment
+SixDogTeam Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 well then maybe I'm too "duh" to get your point, Robert. You provided a link to a log and indicated cheating. There was no cheating indicated in the linked log. period. Quote Link to comment

+SixDogTeam Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Then you admit your original posted link is meaningless, and you just want us to read all these old threads about someone, eh? Sorry, not buying into that. You sound pretty bitter and upset... Quote Link to comment
AC Student Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 I'm sorry, I don't see how this is "cheating". Quote Link to comment

+RichardMoore Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 well then maybe I'm too "duh" to get your point I guess. Try reading all the links I've posted and maybe you'll get it. I've read the links. And what I see is something that happened over a year ago. The "cheating approver" in question is no longer an approver. It wasn't your cache. So what does it matter to you? I did notice that the log is now archived, and doesn't show up on the cache page. I have to wonder why that is. Does it have something to do with your inability to forgive and forget?

+Gorak Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 I can see how you would be confused. There are really two topics here: 1 - The cacher in question was caught red-handed faking finds on some caches, although he subsequently blamed it on one of his employees. 2 - Despite the ongoing denials of himself and TPTB, it has long been speculated that this same cacher is also an approver. Today he logged a cache accidently using his approver name rather than his caching name. His companion's, unfortunately, did not make the same mistake and mentioned that he was with them. I know this probably isn't earth-shattering news for most people, but because of the constant denials, it has been an ongoing topic of speculation locally. I think RobertM's post was intended to put an end to the speculation regarding MrG's approver status. The mention of his previous bout of cheating obviously muddied the waters. Quote Link to comment

+RobertM Posted June 4, 2004 Author Share Posted June 4, 2004 Well let me spell it out for you. He (MrG) was caught cheating and denied it. Then he became an approver and everyone complained. So he "gave the position up" apparently. Then Cache-Advance, a new guy became our local approver, and we all knew it was him. Jeremy denied it. Finally the truth is out. MrG didn't log out of his approver account before posting this find log (which he did not cheat on). So not all did MrGigabyte lie but so did Jeremy. Things that make you go Hmmmmm.

+SixDogTeam Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Thanks for spelling it out for us Robert. Now your initial post makes sense--but you could have told us all this before you let us think that you thought that your linked log was an example of cheating. Did you have a good laugh at us?

Let's put this in another light. There is another user in these forums who has a reputation that is, shall we say, "chit"? One of the recurring bits of advice to him is to change his user-name and make a fresh start. Isn't it possible that MrGigabyte is trying to do that? And that you are making it impossible for him to change his reputation? Quote Link to comment

+SixDogTeam Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Well, Bob, the feeling is mutual, let me assure you. Anything else you need to get off your chest this evening? I mean, besides calling J. a liar? Quote Link to comment
+RichardMoore Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 The "cheating approver" in question is no longer an approver. Yes he's still an approver. But is he a good approver or a bad approver? Have there been any complaints about him lately? Quote Link to comment
+SixDogTeam Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 But is he a good approver or a bad approver? I don't think that's the point. With all the thousands of Geocachers to coose from, we don't need to choose cheaters as approvers. Quote Link to comment
