Wait there is cheating in contesting now? Curious.

I agree with Timothy,
Using online scoring would be the first step to remove cheating from
contesting. That would need some public explanation once a final log sent
to a contest committee has different score or different category vs what
everybody saw on a scoreboard.
Anyway so many men, so many minds )) Let's vote if you wish your opinion to
be counted:

I disagree... while I don’t often use the real time online scores I
completely see the concept behind it. I also see what they are doing with
the plaques... at the very least they are putting up money and their time
to encourage the use of additional mediums to encourage competition.
While some don’t want to share their progress for whatever reasons, others
do. Some of the best contestors in the world regularly are seen on these
scoreboards, so its definitely not a cheaters platform or full of those who
“can’t”.
As for 3830, one of the largest CW Clubs uses that forum to calculate
their awarded medals mailed out to their members every year. In effect the
awards calculation is already happening there... what’s to say those
members really did or didn’t make their needed ten QSO’s... there isn’t
even a log check for a contest manager to verify.
This is all about honor and nobody is getting rich off of this sport...
usually they are putting up a lot of lost income opportunity and material
costs.
Some people like to share their experiences in life with others in ways
that others might not get or don’t like...

Victor and team this is a silly award,
We now have a cheat's contest and no reason for contest managers.
Why I look forward to seeing previously DQ'd callsigns battling it out for
the online scoreboard award. I am sorry, but this is not what contesting is
about and more about technology because we can...
Good luck with your programme but it is not contesting - how about we
nominate a CW Skimmer station for SOAB?
That was sarcasm, but I have no doubt you will consider that as a category

With all due respect, what's next?
Trophies for highest claimed score on 3830scores.com?
Best post-test 3830 comments?
I voted "no".
Sorry - I just don't "get it".
