Unlisted GMRS repeaters

[K811]

I discovered several open GRMS repeaters in my area by simply listening to frequencies. However only small fraction is listed on myGMRS.

Some are listed on other sites and some are not listed at all.

My understanding is that "If you are not the owner, please contact the repeater owner to add it to the database." But many discovered repeaters don't publish their call sign or published call sign seems bogus.

Question: why does myGMRS prohibit publishing open systems repeater information on their web site?

The most common reason I've heard is to keep the repeater use limited, as in to keep hoards of users away.  But the most used repeater in my area still has lots of dead air.

Because not all repeater owner's want their repeaters listed for what ever reasons. And it also keeps from have multiple listings for the same repeater on the website. 

Another thing is if someone besides the owner listed a repeater that requires permission, then the repeater owner will not get any requests at all through MyGMRS.

Because they don’t want the general public on a personal repeater.   I work several ranches throughout the week local and in other states. They very active repeaters for ranch or farm business.   None of them want the general public using the repeaters.  So please do not list something that is not yours.   Why would you even want to.   What activities are you doing with your family or friends that requires you to want to list strangers private repeaters.   
 

WHY IS THIS EVEN A QUESTION.  what would this even cross some ones mi d. Gmrs is MORE than repeaters.
