=== Not found (DNF) === | === Not found (DNF) === | ||
Even if you <u>d</u>id <u>n</u>ot <u>f</u>ind a geocache, you should log it with a “not found” log. DNF logs are a good indication for the owner that something could be wrong with the geocache. If there are no logs for some time the owner would usually think, that everything is okay and just noone is seeking. | |||
You should add information why you did not find the geocache. Was there absolutely nothing to find at an obvious hiding place? Did you see remainings of a possible cache container? Was the hint making no sense (anymore)? Was the place crowded with [[muggle]]s? Did you forget necessary equipment? | |||
In case there was a reason causing you to stop seeking the geocache, you should add that information to the log. A hiding place could be overgrown with stinging nettles or someone put trash all around. A building site fence could also temporarily block the way. Don't hesitate to inform the owner. | |||

You can write an ''Attended'' log after an event to tell others about your experiences and say "Thank you" to the organiser . | |||

If you want to change the status, you need to write a corresponding log entry. Triggered by your log the system automatically sends notification emails to watchers of your geocache.

You can also delete a log entry from a geocache listing you own. There should '''always''' be an important reason to delete a log entry. Bad mood or disliking someone are '''NOT''' important reasons! Typical reasons could be log entries which violate the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette netiquette], multiple log entries or log entries which do not fulfil the log requirements. Keep in mind, that the person who did write the log entry will get an email notification about removing the log. | |||
