+Seaglass Pirates Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Had a log on one of our caches yesterday ... and its a premium member who has never found a cache and never logged on and has not left a footprint on the audit trail and has not DNF'd anything in the area ... http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=1c50b30a-02ed-427b-8ff4-bdb5590f91c6 so they could empty every TB for miles around and no way of contacting them. Ever ... but they must have a validated email address for groundpeak to send their receipt. Quote Link to comment

+Gitchee-Gummee Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Is there more to this story? I see one DNF log by a beginner, who may or may not know what they are doing or looking for. How is it that TB's enter the picture.... or is that an assumption on your part? Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 We see 'em every once in a while, figuring they made that mistake of paying for premium membership instead of the full app. Could stay that way as long as they never log into the site, as their app does everything for 'em, and doesn't take a genius to never be on an audit. - One of the reasons I gotta chuckle when folks say how secure their pmo hide is.

+Seaglass Pirates Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yes TB's is the assumption on my part not that this person is inclined that way. The point was ... what a farce lol. There are two types of premium membership. App premium membership and website premium membership. We paid 4.99 for our full access app but it's gone up. Website is now 25 is it. In UK. But if you log on using phone in any way - browsing via your profile (smart phone), it does not log that on the website as a visit. So if you exclusively use your phone it does not register that you visit the website. But we saw the log and thought awww we'll email them and see what they made a mistake on or where they were looking and the we saw their profile. Never seen non validated premium member before. Plenty of members but never a premium member. In this case it looks like a Valentine's day thing maybe. But how the hell do you contact them ever. Wierd. Quote Link to comment

We paid 4.99 for our full access app but it's gone up. Website is now 25 is it. In UK. There is only one type of Premium Membership. That is the one that allows you to see Premium Member Only caches. (PMO) Pay for the FULL app (was/is called 'Premium' app) and you can see ALL types of caches that are available to ALL users. (Which EXCLUDES PMO) Pay for Premium membership $30 (or £25+ here in the UK) and you can see ALL cache types AND Premium Member Only caches. The Free/Trial app, only shows Traditional caches that are available to ALL users (with limitations regarding them being 'Easy' for beginners) Pay for Premium Membership and the Free/Trial app will show ALL Traditional caches -without limitations- AND multi's INCLUDING Premium Member Only caches.

There are backdoor methods that allow you to see and log PMOs. Others may chime in to provide them. Quote Link to comment
