<br> Please make sure you note the changes to the guidelines dates April 2009:<br><br><ol type="1"><li value="3"><b>A section called <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#loggingofallcaches" target="_blank">Logging of All Physical Caches</a> has been added to the guidelines.</b></li>
</ol><div class="quotetop">QUOTE</div> Geocaches can be logged online as Found once the physical log has been signed.<br><br>
If it is appropriate for your cache location or theme, you may ask the
cache seeker to accomplish an optional and simple task, either close to
the cache site (normally within 0.1 miles or 161 meters) or when
writing their online log. For example, wear the goofy hat inside the
cache container and upload a photograph. Cache finders can choose
whether or not to attempt or accomplish optional tasks. Cache owners
may not delete the cache seeker's log based solely on optional tasks.<br><br>
This guideline change applies immediately to all logs written from
April 4, 2009 and going forward. Older caches with "additional logging
requirements" (ALRs) are not grandfathered under the older guideline.
If you own an existing cache with mandatory additional logging
requirements, we request that you:<br> <ul><li>Cease deleting logs based on additional logging requirements.</li><li>Review
your own cache listing to see if the ALR can be made into an optional
and simple task, or whether it must be removed altogether.</li><li>Adjust your geocache listing by editing the text then contact a reviewer to change the cache type, if appropriate.</li></ul><br>
