See any connection?

No, I don't. This SSA "policing problem" you mention didn't exist until
recently, so that couldn't be the reason those pilots didn't post.

Wise pilots see the problems that exist, wiser pilots see the problems that
are coming.

Most of the flights posted don't exceed 18,000', don't enter restricted
airspace, and don't fly after sunset, so maybe these restrictions won't
deter most pilots.

See, here is an example of the problem that is coming. Yesterday it was
18,000. Today it is flying after sunset. What's tomorrow? How do we know if
tomorrow somebody won't start arbitrarily pulling some flights from OLC for
low passes or for ridge soaring, citing FAR Part 91 Sec. 91.119(c)? What's
next? Cloud clearance? Non-standard landing patterns?...

Some people just feel that they don't need to subject themselves to this
level of scrutiny -- and in today's world with today's attitudes I don't
blame them.
