SSB/CW they may not be .. but in some of the RTTY contests, uniques ARE
removed ... this was a recent thread on the RTTY lists ... I think the
ruling is
if the station does not show up in THREE submitted logs, it's removed.

Because there is some confusion on this subject, I'll answer.  I don't
know of any SO2R operator who believes that he is allowed by contest
rules or FCC regulations to transmit two signals simultaneously, for
example by keying both rigs with the same keyer or allowing computers
to send different messages on two rigs at the same time.  To do so has
been disallowed by the sponsors of most contests  since the early days
of contesting.

Calling CQ alternately on two different bands while listening for an
answer on the rig that is not transmitting would be allowed but is
generally not practiced because the mode cannot be continued for long
enough to make it work -- finding a new frequency can be an immense
effort and you would invariably relinquish an unused frequency more
than once per minute if you could get a new one back fast enough.
Instead, while sending a CQ or an exchange on one band (by computer or
memory keyer), one tunes on the alternate band in search of new
multipliers or contacts.
