Spot burn is not related to sucess or failure when reporting, but rather that a perticular spot is accessible to the masses that would not even consider doing the leg work themselves. Whether you catch or not, revealing a spot will attract some that figure it was just your bad luck and not theirs or it may make them move to other locales without any consideration of whether they are crossing through private property or not.

In other words: it's a lose-lose scenario. You can tell others if you want, but I would advise against it even if they are friends. Remember that all it takes is one "friend" to spill the beans and create a googan bucket rush at your "spot".
Your best bet is just be vague, never specify exact locations/spots and encourage others to "get out and find their own spots"!!!
