[CCF] Fwd: Assisted vs non-Assisted

Minulla on sellainen mielikuva, että syy näiden kahden luokan synnyttämisen
välillä oli aikoinaan puutteellisissa nettiyhteyksissä monissa
mielenkiintoisissa kisailumaissa. Kilpailijoita ei asetettu eriarvoiseen
asemaan nettiyhteyden osalta. Luotiin siis eri luokat kisassa.
Nyt tämä syy ei kai enää ole relevantti, joten luokat voisi yhdistää tämän
argumentin osalta.
Toisaalta kisan luonne muuttuisi, kun kaikki käyttävät klusteria. Syntyisi
entistä rajumpia hetkittäisiä pileuppeja, kun uusi kerroin tulee bandille.
Siinä mellakassa pärjää vain isolla teholla ja härskillä käytöksellä.

Hämmentävää, että jopa laaja-alaista eurooppalaista näkemystä ymmärtävien
suomalaistenkin kilpailijoiden keskuudessa esiintyy edes mikrosekunnin ajan
tekopyhäamerikkalainen ajatus siitä, että assisted- ja classic-luokat
pitäisi yhdistää siksi, että ei enää jakseta metsästää huijareita.

Nehän pitää yhdistää siksi, että koko jako assisted- ja classic-luokkiin on
ollut lähtökohtaisesti täysin aivovammainen jo reilusti viime vuosituhannen
puolella. Itse asiassa jo ennen koko säännön synnyttämistä.

Ja kyseisen säännön noudattamisen valvominen ei suinkaan ole koskaan ollut
radiokilpailutoimintaa ja sen moraalia edistävää toimintaa. Vaan täysin
päinvastoin, koko säännön valvominen on ollut haitallista toimintaa, josta
pitäisi rangaista. Valvojaa. Sillä monikaan asia ei yhtä tehokkaasti rapauta
moraalia tehokkaasti kuin järjettömän säännön täytäntöönpano. 

Vähän sama juttu, kuin orjien palauttaminen omistajilleen, jos sallitte
vertauksen.
