Can the daily GCA email have an extra heading tomorrow advising cache owners to delete dog108's logs?
Will the faeries need feeding to keep the logs from GCA and thus out of any stats?

So I guess there is nothing to stop us telling the geocachers we know who have logs against them to delete all the logs posted by dog108?

I saw several against caches by Klems' Mob. As they have no account here, I sent them a complimentary "heads-up".

Would be nice to see every single "find" by dog108 deleted.

I emailed most of the cachers in Vic except the ones I knew were frequent here.

I'll add it to the daily emailer.
We'll try and keep the log under control.
If we get behind, give them a prod.

Who is dog108? Joined GC yesterday and has claimed 111 finds, mostly on the Fleureau including multis, mysteries, virtuals that are 100's of kms apart, some even in Victoria, as well as underwater caches like 39 Green Ghosts. I think the find claims might be illegitimate. Every log has 'Easy TFTC' on it. His email address is not validated so we can't send a message.

Time to delete a few logs methinks?

More merging goodness and a change to the thread title to hopefully avoid another set of open threads.

Does any one know dog108?

Post by Team Crackers » 15 November 09 11:16 pm

Hi all,
We were wondering if anyone knows dog108, they logged one of our caches with out full filling the requirements so we deleated the log. We wanted to email them to explain why and they have no email account conected to their profile. They seem to be logging caches at a great rate so may not be reading the pages properly as they go.
Any help would be good.
Thanks.

I managed to send them an email (not sure how, I can't usually send to non-validated accounts either) but haven't had (and don't really expect) a reply.

Once the owners of the caches that they've logged without finding have fulfilled their maintenance responsibilities, I might step in and clean up the rest. It's not really part of the reviewer's job, but they've annoyed me enough to go to the extra effort! :twisted:

Mind you, if there turns out to be a valid rationale behind all this, I'll feel silly too!

There is no valid rationale.
I know every person who has found a particular cache of mine that they logged and there are NO possibilities that this is an old team which is now split.
This dingus is just a useless goober who is trolling the system.

Some of you may have received a log on your caches from a cacher called dog108. It appears that in their first day of caching they found 108 finds, which isnt impossible but they have been logging caches that have been unavailable for some time.

It came to attention as they logged my virtual cache at Moonta and didnt provide the required answer. After looking at their profile they havent even validated their account. I'll be deleting their log.

Maybe this a job for a reviewer.

They have done more than 108 apparently, but everyone has deleted their logs, so they have probably done over 200 caches according to them!
