Please do not spoil the fun of SO contenders because of your reasons.
Instead, change behavior.
Make assisted/all allowed category MORE interesting for the cheaters:
- Raise the public recognition
- Better, more incentives
- Bigger prizes, larger plaques, gold
On the other hand, lower the incentive for UNassisted, make it
LESS interesting to participate for cheaters
- No incentives
- No plaques
- Lower public recognition
Since we cannot influence peoples own responsibility and merits of honesty
and pride, we have to make SO less and Assisted more attractive.
We might as well let go of the materialistic and public recognition for SO
contenders. We can share recognition within our peer group, do not need the
gold/wood.
Pride is in the accomplishment, the long road to and sharing knowledge and
operating experiences with our peer-friends.

That's why other contests should follow the (now old) lead of DARC and
the WAE. Combine the two SO categories. They're pretty much
indistinguishable and unenforceable now.
