DON’T BE A TRAIL TROLL – Engaging in trail trolling is
unprofessional, unethical, distractive, and often confuses OHVers who want to
understand an issue but are getting mixed messages from the troll.
Social media is a great way to communicate with the trail
community on important issues or to find out more info on events and
activities. Sharing that information is
also a good thing and helps get the word out.
However, trolling to create the impression that you are,
or have been, substantively engaged - such as submitting timely formal written
comments or attending related ongoing meetings – when you or the organization
you represent have not been engaged in any meaningful way does a great
disservice to OHV recreation advocacy.
Resist the temptation to be a trail troll but rather
select the topic you are interested in and invest the time, effort, and fiscal
resources to be robustly engaged in the issue so that your comments reflect well
on you or your organization.
