Would increasing the penalty for busted calls mitigate this problem?
The discussion seems to be pointing to experienced operators, those that
should know better, engaging in this behavior.
For them it could be the cost of 'doing business', lots of Qs to
compensate, but if the penalty is increased, the 'economics' of
contesting changes.
Ok, maybe not on the first busted call, but sounds like the community
has a pretty good knowledge, after each contest, of the calls that
generated the most incidents.
Let's say after 3 or 4 of these busted calls, it's not a mistake, but
careless operating procedure.
For the newbie caught in the net, it's a costly learning experience, but
as a friend used to say: a good education is not cheap.

incorrectly spotted) and you will see for yourself that most of these people
who spotted and worked a BS call actually are FAR from being newbies.
