I don't have any problems with people returning to a cache to get a travel bug as long as the repeat visit is logged as a note and not a find. I think that the consensus in the travel bug forum is that it is acceptable caching behavior.
Is it acceptable behavior to take more than one TB from a cache per visit? I've seen that done and never really knew if that was okay with the geocaching community.

Hi all IFISHAZ here,
Ok, well I feel this is a subject that needs some public debate (if it has had debate before, sorry it was before I became a geocacher). What is your (other cachers) feelings on geocachers returning to caches (sometimes very repeatedly) they have found previously just to get a Travel Bug? I personally think it is wrong, once you have found a cache there is no fun / adventure / difficulty, to keep going back to it. Also by returning to a cache you know where it is to get a TB, you cut chances of a new visitor to that cache having a legitimate find of a TB. Also it cuts down potential new visitors to a cache who may have went looking for a bug, but it is gone because a cacher who has been there before takes it. I think that finding geocaches should be the main goal and if you get a TB when you find a cache, cool bonus. Not find geocaches so you can locate them and rush straight to them when a TB has been placed and grab it.
Just my opinion, IFISHAZ.
