I try to keep my geocaching stats accurate so that my milestones are where they belong. I generally use GSAK and run the "Check Multiple Finds" Macro. Whenever I find a discrepancy I go looking for it and correct it.
Recently I was emailed and informed that one of my caches had a duplicate log on it. Now I want my own caches to correctly reflect their finds as well so I went ahead and deleted the double log and informed the cacher what I had done and why.
Apparently this was the wrong way to go about it. I get accused of a hatred so deep I delved into the bowels of the cache logs until I came up with someway to screw up their stats. Said cacher hides his stats so there was no way of even knowing what I had done. Yes, at some point I realized that it was a possibility but by then it was too late. Said cacher decided to try to roast me in the forums once again. Once again said cacher did not receive the support that he felt he deserved.
On that note I did download and run the "Duplicate Found Logs" Macro. I discovered a few more and proceeded to delete them as well. Now I have discovered that there is another online program called Project-gc.com Wow even GSAK has missed some of my duplicates. Something to work with over the next few days to make corrections and inform the cachers.
Gsak needs to have all the relevant caches in its database, and the info needs to be up to date or running any macro's will not yield accurate results. This is why it misses some duplicates. Project-gc.com fishes its info from your GS account, so it should be fairly accurate.
