I volunteer to run the forum in my spare time.  I do it because I find the reports very useful.  In general, I try to keep my hands off and let the forum run itself.  I don’t have the time or energy to constantly monitor the site and immediately remove any post that might bend or break the rules.

Occasionally I do have to moderate certain postings.  I do my best to be fair and consistent.  But keep in mind that I am not always at my computer to remove posts when they appear. 

If you obey the rules, you won’t have a problem.  If you make inflammatory remarks, that is the quickest way to get banned.

For instance, if a bike leaves a rut down the middle of a freshly groomed MULTI-USE trail, that is a useful piece of information for other trail users, so feel free to share it.  But  that biker was well within the rules of the trail, and thus any editorializing about the biker (or bikers in general) is not appropriate.

I have no agenda, beyond trying to get people to share information in a polite manner.  I am happy to discuss why certain posts are deleted and others are not.  Shoot me an email if you have any questions or concerns.
