A Suggested Geocachers Etiquette It's my belief that the "can't find" logs are there to be useful to people. It notifies other geocachers that perhaps the cache isn't there. It also notifies the person who placed the cache that he/she should probably go check on it. Geocachers should be considerate to others and post a "can't find" or "note" log when they don't find the cache. It helps us all. I'm wondering if people have egos and don't want anyone seeing a "can't find" by their name. My practice is as follows: If I make an attempt and am not able to get to the cache site, I post the experience as a "note." If I get to the location and just can't find the cache, then I post the experience as a "can't find" log. If I go back later and find the cache, I'll change my previous "can't find" log to a "note" log (copy/delete/paste as new log). And, if I can't find a cache and the owner confirms that it's been liberated and archives it, I'll delete my "can't find" log. (Although the Snaptek statistics don't properly work in this instance.) |
