Once upon a time QR codes came along and I was like, "F this stupid crap who has a QR reader?"
Time passed.
Then covid hit. And then every restaurant started using QR codes. And we all realized that the phones just read QR codes if you point your camera phone at it. And this has forced us as a society to start using QR codes again.
I say you work up a little stand with a QR code. It's almost impossible not to point your phone at it these days.

Not stirring the pot at all. A valid observation.

I tried but I can’t flip the phone fast enough to capture the code using its camera...if I had one of those new folding phones it would be much easier!
save photo - use google lens on image.
Or on your phone, take your finger, and hold it on the image.

I know, I may have to buy a second phone just to scan codes on the first one!
ah-ah! I figured it out, how much are you willing to pay to be in the know?
You could forward it to email then print to fax. Then use the the camera app! Simple solution
I did get it to work by saving it and using lens via Google photos

I will raise this point in combination with the helmet thread. This is probably partly why we have this perception. @stb222

A year or five(?) ago JORBA got blamed for the destruction of the gap jumps near the power lines at allaire.
Can confirm that there are plenty of people who equate JORBA with anti-fun trail policing 😕
- Random people* build high-skill requirement/high risk feature on public property without permission from the land owner.
- Feature is in a high traffic park, along a high traffic trail
- Random people* ride feature, and post it all over social media
- Park catches wind of said feature, and asks the trail stewards for assistance in dismantling it
- Trail stewards push back because they are not the trail police, but ultimately help out so they can appease the land manager and get back to doing normal maintenance
- People* blame trail stewards
*These are people we all know, some of whom make their living hawking bikes. Why do we turn the other cheek when they call out people working their butts off to build relationships with land managers while they do lazy builds alongside public trails, then have the audacity to call out the people doing it legit? I am so tired of it.

Without judgement, please let opinions and criticism be shared openly without quickly defending - which would then deter further open discussion.
Frustrating yes, but knowing specifics of where/how opposition opinions are formed are critical to any organization.
while this thread wasn't really meant for that purpose, if it goes that way, so be it.

My intent is not to deter open discussion or create more division, but I will always defend trail stewards from off-base criticism. It is part of a much larger discussion, but our community has issues which hold back progress and it's time we address them.
