We (all of us) can also be detrimental to the explorability and access of sensitive locations by getting too complacent. Doing a location over and over again to show it off to others can draw unwanted attention, especially if a place gets accessed by the same way on a frequent basis.Spades wrote:blakjak wrote:Nick said how I feel in a much better way.

Mate you're absolutely right (about seeing it happen so many times and all), you are wayyyy more experienced and you probably even thought the way I did at one point, but you've seen this happen probably 100x over and I'm just being naive I guess.
As urban explorers we do have to protect our turf and our treasures, and graffers are sometimes are the ones that can just ruin that...

This isn't a very good idea at all. It may seem like the right thing to do by putting your own locks on, but it just shows the proper authority in control of the place that someone is tampering with security.Spades wrote:...his tag was everywhere and he put his own locks on certain gates...
It's also a good way to piss off and annoy others. It's as if he's saying, 'This is my place, and you can't come in'. Not a good impression.
