berks weighing in. it was perfect.

the only thing i would change is a more obvious way to check your application status prior to receiving the ballot. i didnt take screen shots or write down the process, but by memory, it was a little unobvious that my mother, in fact, elected to receive her mail in ballot back in feb.

like, all i remember is that finding this page

https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/voterregistrationstatus.aspx

was easy. but it should include a link to THIS page:

https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/ballottracking.aspx

which i tracked down, but my mother, or anyone not born in the internet age, would likely not find.

and then when i got to the latter page, whatever "status" that was showing for her wasnt defined well enough for us to be confident that she would be receiving a mail in ballot. it turns out that she didnt apply, so she applied, and still currently shows as "pending"... which after calling means it should be on the way, but might not be here in time, which means she will have to drop it off in person... which sucks because she is post transplant and tries to avoid crowds.

>I don't want to post my place because it abuts the Gamelands.

this is a glaring part of your post that i dont understand. ...but I want to. I guess i just dont get your reasoning. not saying you are wrong, im just wondering what your motivation NOT to post the property is? Is it that you dont want the eye sore of posted signs facing serene wilderness? if so... just focus the signs to where the problem trail is. no need to do the whole propertyline if you dont want to.

yeah. its really a silly thing to nitpick in general. OP didnt even suggest that the atv riding was happening on the state owned land, or if the riding is on the state land, that it was being done legally. it was basically a completely non relevant detail.

Safe to say they are talking about state forests. 90% of people use state game, state forest, and state park interchangeably, as for 90% of the people, the differences don't matter..

i will second this. In many high atv traffic areas there can be unwritten rules between land owners that posted signs are for other uses... hunting, etc... and atv trails are open for all unless specifically posted. for example, in the area we own land, posted signs are essentially ignored outside of hunting season, and between a few dozen landowners there is a huge network of atv trails that goes through all the different properties. during hunting season, we know to stay to our own properties.

now, you put up a "no atv's past this point" sign... well, then things change. that means you dont ride on that property, or down that trail unless you have permission.

so id suggest putting up a sign specific saying no ATV/UTV's first. might you get a couple random morons? sure. but that is going to happen no matter what outdoor activity people are doing. hiking, biking, hunting, atvs...

For the vast majority of the state, that is simply not true. ATV's on PA gamelands is actually one of the most heavily enforced things on the gamelands. You do not want to fuck around with that.

as far as i can tell, what you linked to has nothing to do with OP or anyone i can see in this thread.

Ohh please.

90% of your reddit presence is you starting political arguments and talk shit to libs. if you truly didn't want to hear political shit, you wouldn't spew political shit every chance you get.

> I feel like this sort of thing is more common than many people think, and most people are uncomfortable calling someone out about it - even an anonymous internet account.

i mean, ive been on reddit for 45 years and i havent seen it happen once, so, clearly you are full of shit.
