Re: Uh oh... Premium member only caches now useless?

Ok, new guy here, but I thought I'd share something.
I use C:Geo on my smartphone to do caching, and not brilliant
for GPS, but I cope with it. I'm still very new to it, and I've
not yet worked out half the things people have mentioned 'PQ' ?
'GPX' ? I might be young but I prefer sitting down and learning
things from others.
Going on the topic, C:Geo does actually tell me where PMO caches
are, right down to centermetres on my phone, but as a basic
member, I won't pay for a hobby I want as cheap as possible, but
getting the most out of it. I haven't claimed a single PMO,
because of own morals, I leave those for people who have paid
for it.

I've heard that C:geo and some other third party software gives
access to some things they should maybe not, but haven't looked
into it myself.
As for logging premium caches you have found if you are not a
premium member.. this shouldn't be a problem, mostly. Many
people do this via known backdoor method. Sometimes families who
have more than one caching account in the same household, but do
not all have premium membership.
If it was me personally, and if I had a basic membership, I
would log them if I have found them, but I would contact the
cache owner first to check that they are ok with me doing so.
Most will be I am sure.

There is a known 'Back door' for logging Premium Member Only
caches. (There's a couple of ways!)
Groundspeaks view is - If you Found the cache and signed the
log, you can log online.
If the cache owner deletes the log you can appeal to
Groundspeak. (You need proof you signed the log. Photo of the
log book/sheet with you name and previous finders shown would be
enough.)
The Back door was closed a few years ago after an update to the
site.
Jeremy (GS owner) got it added back in and said it would stay
in.
It is there mainly for families to log, but if you can work out
where the cache is, or stumble on it, why shouldn't you log it?
