I don't know if that's a violation of the letter of the rules, but certainly
it's a violation of the spirit, as in "good operating practice." If it's
real persistant, then it may need to be addressed.
On the same line, I had a bunch of EU station (and not neccesarily "rare"
ones) ask me to spot them during the contest. In each case, I declined and
asked them if that wasn't a rules violation. A few said "sorry," a few said
"I don't know, I didn't read the rules" and just about all asked the next
station or asked me again on another band. (And it is a rules infraction, I
checked).

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Legal and / or ethical in ARRL?
Operator A goes to US multi op station. He works 30 hours and goes home.
Operator A gets on from home and spots multi op station he just left on
packet.
Operator A does this repeatedly on more than one band knowing full well the
spots are being populated to a global packet network.
Anyone besides me have a problem with that?
If so, what penalties, if any, are appropriate?
