"The Commissioner" has already said that the very things that seem to be thought of as unsportsmanlike conduct (Grid Circling and Captive Rovering) are easily identified. Tree even said so "on-list" a short while ago.

Are we wasting a lot of time coming up with rules to "catch" the behavior when all that needs to be done is state that "unsportsmanlike conduct" may result in penalties up to and including disqualification and loss of entry priviledges for a year?

Such an approach would give "The Commissioner" considerable lattitude in offering guidance and warning before actually invoking the wouff hong itself. This is good, as some folks violate rules quite innocently and simply need a non-punitive nudge. It will also allow HQ to deal with other unforseen unsportsmanlike items if/when they occur in the future.

The only "gotcha" is a need for a swift but fair (even if only 1-step) appeals process.

Regards,
Ev Tupis, W2EV
