deleted cache reappearing [closed]

Post by Mix » 20 September 05 7:01 pm

this cache http://geocaching.com.au/cache/gcj89x is an aberration relating to a cache that was transferred from GC to GCA a few weeks back. Can you just delet it? thanks.

I just updated my logs again & it must be me adding this cache each time I upload from GSAK, as my GSAK has the old cache, I will delete it from GSAK & download the GPX from GCA so it doesn't happen again, sorry, but could you delete this cache again.... my fault.

yes, energizer61, it is you adding the cache
don't worry, it's not your fault - we need to figure out a way to stop caches like this magically appearing every time someone uploads their GSAK data

what we've done is mark it as draft, archived and unavailable. the idea is to keep it there so nothing comes along to re-create it, but try to mark it as invisible as possible so it doesn't get included in counts and lists. we'll see how it goes!
