In fairness to Jared and the rest of
the posters on this topic, I have no familiarity with actually going after
urban micros or the seeking issues that come with these. I don’t doubt
these things that have been mentioned to be true. The 'sneaking around' aspect
of some of these caches sounds like no fun at all to me personally, and I would
give up on a cache that appeared to leading me to that kind of situation.
My point, and ShadowAce has heard my
rant more than once, ;-) is that if others enjoy a certain cache, or cache
type, and it’s within the law, then they should be allowed to play the
game their way without being harassed by cachers who don’t like it. A
negative find log when you were mislead about what you were seeking seems a
great way to voice displeasure, but there are those who’d love to go
further. Self-anointed cache cops are always waiting in the wings. How
‘bout an HOA-type organization to represent us and tell us about the
proper way to cache? It’s been suggested.

Perhaps we all should have a look at this site: The Geocacher's Creed

Here's another that has been used:

DPM –
Including the letters “DPM” in a cache log was a once-secret way to
indicate the cache was of low quality. DPM is an abbreviation for “des
palourdes mortes", which is French for “the dead clams”. The
entire French phrase is “Les longs sanglots des palourdes mortes blessent
mon coeur avec un languor monotone pendant qu'ils dansent à minuit", which
translates to “The long sobs of the dead clams wound my heart with a
monotonous languor as they dance at midnight”. The idea was to include
this phrase in a cache log to clue in others that the cache was of low quality.
Rarely actually used, as the meaning of DPM quickly spread throughout the
geocaching community, and its secrecy was lost.

Anyone else have any ideas or comments on how we can improve the caches in our
state? Maybe we need a special acronym. Instead of TFTC we could have DWYT
(Don't Waste Your Time). Of course we could always start using this website to
generate log entries for us: http://loungingatwalden.googlepages.com/RandomLog.html
My favorite generated log entry: "This cache was ill-conceived and
ill-received. You should turn your GPS over to the nearest authorities! TNLN
and almost didn't bother signing the log!!"
