All
It's been so long now (10yrs?) I can't honestly recall the details of why I
stopped playing in this one single-op many years ago. May have been a wonky
scoring rule too, as my error rates, like most serious to semi-serious players
tend to be on the lower side of average and I pride myself on that as I am sure
many of you do.
I did grudgingly agree to enter 4yrs ago as part of a (Canadian) "RAC"
distributed m/m, but was only on a few hours and didn't have to do anything
with logs, myself.
For years after I stopped playing SO (I think in +/-2013-iirc?) they would send
me a yearly reminder or three by email even though I asked the organizer to
stop many many times and they kept telling me they would, but the emails just
seemed to increase.
I basically had to threaten them to stop spamming me it got so bad with
repeated requests to play in the contest, please come back or whatever. (every
email was different) (I see at least one other poster mentioned something along
this line and I am pretty sure they never stopped entirely, so I just
blacklisted a bunch of their emails so I never see them anymore. (*hint...this
is not a good way to go about getting people in your contests, by hounding
them.)
It all left a bad taste in my mouth....and there aren't very many contests that
will do that, but "MM" did, sadly.
I hope you have better luck with them guys--I won't be back !
CU (not!) in ARRL DX next w/e all you Americans/Canadians
