Got banned from a local hiking group for posting a picture of a shortcut trail

I found a quicker way up to the ridge at Eagle Rock last weekend and shared it. The mods said it was 'encouraging unsafe practices' and booted me immediately. Is sharing a trail find really that bad, or are groups just too strict now?

Man, that's ridiculous, they're way too uptight.

What if they're not being uptight but covering themselves legally? @charlesk65, I've seen places get sued for way less. Their rules might come from a lawyer, not just someone being a jerk. It feels over the top to us, but they're probably scared of getting in trouble. That fear makes them act this way.
