OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUESTED PLEASE


Hi there Cache Owner,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is some sort of issue. The recent logs may contain more details about what sort of issues are evident.

The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location, until the issues/s can be addressed.

You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.

What you need to do:-

You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

  • Check On The Cache - once checked, place an Owner Maintenance log and then enable the cache.

  • Place A Write Note Log - indicating a date when you expect it will be restored. If you have a long term unavailability (where you don't have an actual date), please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.

  • Adopt Out or Archive - depending on whether you want it kept or for it to disappear.

A full explanation for each of the above choices can be found at GEOCACHE MAINTENANCE on the Regional Policies page.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of the above. Well, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and the cache will be de-listed (Archived) at the end of the 14 day period, without further recourse to the CO. [V]

It would be far better if you decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Thanks for your cooperation,
