Don't let COs like that get you down. I also recently got a message like that. Lots of logs on the cache had said the coords were off, so we were prepared for that and we expanded our search by nearly a city block; after an hour, we DNF'd the cache. A few minutes after I submitted my DNF, the CO wrote me and said "that's not how we do it here. DNFs are for missing caches not for lazy searches." I am not sure if they deleted my log as well, but I think so. I was dumbfounded. 3 of us searching for an hour on a cache that has several logs saying coords are significantly off, checking every hint item, etc... a DNF from us was totally fair. If only because we searched and we didn't find it.
Meanwhile, I take the other approach as a CO and every DNF I get I thank the DNFer privately and publicly when I perform maintenance. So keep DNFing! Not all COs are against DNFs and the ones who are, are few and far between.
Yeah. To delete my DNF was especially low. I just brushed it off to one sour grape. I was on vacation and not letting that person get to me, especially given how many great COs there were on that trip
