Not Classy?


Recommended Posts

Posted

The thing that is 'not classy' is posting a set of pics showing the way to get to a cache, along with parking details, when the owner has clearly said that he does not want parking co-ords on the page!

As someone new to all this, I would suspect the moderators to have some control over that sort of thing. Am I right?

Cache logs aren't moderated. The cache owner does have the ability to delete or encrypt a log.

It is up to the cache owner to handle matters like this. It's called cache maintenance. Checking on it physically is as much a responsibility as making sure the page stays clean. If it's something the cache owner doesn't like, they can ask that it be removed, they can delete it - but allow the finder to re-log without the hints, they can encrypt it. The reviewers have enough to do approving caches, no way could they keep an eye on them all!

That where the owner has to step in and ask the person to remove them. If the post refuses, he can permanently encrypt the log, or delete it.

Ditto:

If it's your cache, email the person. Ask them to either remove the information or you'll delete the logs. Then if they don't remove that stuff, delete the logs.

EZ! He's making a joke. Ha ha...funny funny. You do remember jokes, right?

...And the politics was where? :D

 

It's irritating when someone gives away more than I want them to in their cache logs. It's up to the individual cache owner to decide what is not appropriate for that particular cache.

Very much agreed.

 

Whiel we do resort to looking at the logs on occasion, flat-out spoilers are IMHO bad form.

 

The problem is the tools given to us. We could delete the log which denies the find, we could encrypt the log which does nothing about the pics, or we leave which forces a change in the hunt of our cache. None are good solutions.

 

I'd like to see the ability to hide the log and pictures while not denying the find. You still get "sit-rep" (situation report) from just the log type. The finder keeps his find. Spoilers are hidden from view.

 

No, not a magic bullet. It's not high enough of a priority to ever get implimented and cache owners have to be present.

got that right - or more illiterate people than we ought to have ==

or a lot of people who just don't five a s**** -- or all 3

 

I'm in DC for a week on business -

 

spent the weekend doing some sight seeng - many areas with nice fountains - signs plainly state to please not throw coins as they cause stains - look in the water and what to you see - but a whole bunch of pennies.

 

who knew - <_<

...signs plainly state to please not throw coins...

Huh! No coins in a fountain? That's almost sacrilege. I fully expect coins to be in a fountain.

 

Probably the same people would create a dog park and have signs "Dogs must stay on leash!" What's the point?

Posted (edited)

Sometimes the problem isn't the signs saying no coins but the person who built the coinles fountians having an urealistic view of the world.

 

The unrealistic view creates more work for everyone. Now not only do you have to clean out coins anyway, but you have to maintain the no coins signs.

 

However I would honor the signs while wondering what in the heck they were thinking.
