got in trouble for discussing "secret" spots?

[msnyder1112]

Went on my very first overlanding trip last week and I had a blast!!! I loved it and I can't wait until the next....
but....
I'm pretty active on other platforms and when someone asked about suggestions in RRG, I gave my suggestions from experience, only to be met with extreme hostility from what I assume are locals that do not like tourists.
I'm genuinely curious if this is the norm... if I find a good spot/trail, do I keep it hush and hoard it so no one else goes out there?

do what YOU want to do. if you ask, you will more than likely get just the negative comments because negative people seem to be the most active and the most vocal on social media...and in life. the negative folk are not the majority, but they post the majority of the posts and seem to be a bigger group than they are, so you probably wont get an accurate read, anyway. there have already been posts on here with people whining about keeping spots "secret" and justifications that if you tell people, then they will come and ruin it. that can be argued either way...

yeah, if YOU feel like sharing, share. there are folk that will appreciate it and respect it and folk who will chastise you for it.
with all the crap going on in the world...I think sharing a camp spot is the LEAST harmful thing you can do
