Hi Zack,

My opinion FWIW: It depends on whether he ASKED to be spotted or not.

Does not make a difference, see below.

Stations that are assisted in the contest can spot whoever they wish; they
have no idea of what category the station they are spotting is entering,
and they do it of their own free will.

Sure. Nonetheless it *is* helping the spotted station. Isn't that assistance, too? ;-)

Now, if the other station ASKED to
be spotted, that's a whole different slant. I'd put him in the Assisted
category in that case.

Asking to be spotted is usually against the rules and base for a DQ rather than a reclassification (for CQ WW see IX. General Rules, bullet 4).
