[CQ-Contest] Improper packet spotting?

[Bernie McClenny, W3UR]

Spot what ever you want and when ever you want.  Just be prepared for
chaos if you spot a rare one on your run frequency!  :)

So now you can´t spot certain stations and also you
have to spot in a specific way (ala W3UR), I just
shake my head to it.
Forget it, I will spot any station I feel like spotting,
being a SM2, SM, DL, W2, P5 or whatever I hear on the band.
