WOW I guess my first question is where does this end? Do we start monitoring
2 meters, or telephone conversations, or even email/regular mail. Anyone who
is shocked by N2IC's posting is still living in the dark ages. This kind of
thing has been going on for many, many, years. It is just becoming more
noticeable with the advent/activity of the internet.
The solutions, as I see it, are to put a 'minder' in each in station that is
participating in the contest. The next solution is one category for all
contests, in other words a HP free for all every contest.
Now to be serious, the solution is to create an incentive not to bend the
rules and I will leave that up to minds much smarter than mine. It has
already been pointed out there are no rules against chatting in chat rooms
and there should not be. Instead of beating up and hammering we need to find
meaningful, positive, incentives. IMHO one of the first things and probably
the easiest thing is to eliminate the packet-cluster rules and
packet-cluster categories.(They are useless)
I am sure there are many good ideas out there. We just need to approach this
problem from a positive point of view rather such a negative/destructive
point.
Again just my -2cents worth.
