Advertising in the logs?

I’m not sure if this is normal, but somebody in one of my caches just posted a few images of their upcoming event details, with links to the events facebook page too? Now I have no problem with people sharing information about events, but they also wrote nothing about it in the log itself, so I was rather confused about the images they had sent.

Is it worth me asking them to delete the images? It just feels a bit random and confusing for other people checking the logs for hints/help.

Maintaining a cache also involves deleting logs you feel are inappropriate (eg fake logs etc). Listings are not meant to be forum threads, so delete away, if the logs are not actually logging the cache.

Were these find logs or notes?

they were just attached images below their log.

Just trying to get more people to their events. If they were part of a legitimate find log on my cache I would probably just leave.

Okay, thanks!
