A warning to anyone who uses Groundspeak for any caching. It's been my custom for some time to mention other caching related sites as appropriate (such as a rating site, or nearby Opencaches or whatever) in my "found" logs on GC. Although I'm well aware from my years of being one of their volunteer reviewers they've banned links to other websites on cache pages I know there's never been a problem in individual logs.

However I've just been contacted by a Groundspeak lackey and told to remove links to all external sites in my cache logs as these are now banned. So it now seems the censorship extends to what we want to say in logs as well.

I've also been told to let Groundspeak know if I ever come across an external link in a cache log so they can remove it.

So be warned - Big Brother is watching you!

Sigh! :?
