![]() ![]() Unfortunately, because this page is on the Facebook platform, it is up to Facebook to take action regarding the page. It is very disappointing when people choose to create spoiler pages. Of course, if/when we identify the person(s) who posted trackable codes on this page, their Geocaching account(s) will be subject to action. Those who log trackables in this way risk susp ension of their Geocaching account. Logging trackables that you have not seen, without consent of the trackable owner, is not in the spirit of the game of geocaching. To any geocachers who are thinking about logging these trackable codes. It would be logged in and then sometime later logged out, without photographs, without the occasional comment on its journey. If visits were removed, how would the following TBs journey be possible. I find it disappointing when someone has one of my TBs and they don't visit it to caches, because it's as though the TB has gone off into limbo. Besides the fact phone logging has encouraged crappy logs, it's hard to visit a TB to each log. That's one reason I don't log on a phone. I have gone out of my way to take several TBs to their goal, including the example below. I have photographs to add and occasional comments. I don't want to have to log the TB into and out of every cache I visit. They travel for awhile with me, often longer with the owners permission/encouragement and the owner gets to follow the journey. No, that would be awful and if that happened I will never move a TB on again. I feel if there was one log to be removed, it'd be "Visit". They're so happy that now they log into caches other people's property for months/ years on end, yet the Owner doesn't even (really) know if they have it anymore. "Dipping" became a simple visit log, and folks are very happy with it. This is what I always thought the Discover log was designed for. My helpful Discover logs will give you the name of that piece of carp that brings boxes of other people's property to events for folks to sign too. You'll know if parts are swapped (ninja turtle now a shoelace), or if there are none. ![]() My Discover logs tell people where the trackable actually is, logs being incorrect even by long-time players these days. Some are already getting that knee-jerk reaction of asking to can that log type, and I feel many will lose if it goes. I feel it distracts from the good things a Discover log is used for. I think it's a real shame some knuckleheads are ruining the enjoyment for others. But that's a whole other can of worms that theoretically, ideally, really no one should openly advocate. Or something like that.Īt worst, one could form a mob to take vigilante justice on someone you don't like. It's kind of like GDPR for TB code privacy Reaching out into the internet to attempt to wipe out or punish people who contravene the policy of keeping private data private. But it's probably a complex issue and I wouldn't doubt if they have a lawyer or knowledgeable media team on hand to provide experience feedback about how to process this kind of abuse. Keep in mind if they don't do anything it's not because they want to see 'cheating' proliferate, it's more likely that they can't do anything according to their agreement or TOU. ![]() Best thing we can do is report people as they're discovered and let HQ decide what they can do in response. Unless FB has some clause that can allow it, there's nothing HQ can do about code spoilers except potentially warn and kick or ban users caught making use of them or blatantly sharing them. But if I ever find who the person was that gave out my private phone number at a large event (some were interested in a cache of ours.), I will probably be offensive. I take offense with the person who gave those codes out so nonchalant, and not so much the one who accepted it, maybe thinking it's theirs. She still gets "Discovers", on coins that have never left her bag since. Well, apparently a couple of people she was kind to were the ones that ruined it for everyone from then on. They'd be there 'til the next day if they were written by hand. The other 2/3rds shared lists of her around 200 geocoins at a mega event in '08 with fellow coin nuts. I take great offense in someone with whom I have not shared this information "discovering" something that they have not seen or handled.Ĭan Groundspeak do anything to shutdown this FB page? Someone with whom I have shared my coin with, at a function or other venue, has taken it upon themselves to share the tracking number of my coins. ![]() I personally take great care to remove the tracking number from the pictures I post on the coins in my collection. ![]()
