I will second the motion!!!
It will be interesting to check few things and quite a deterrent to cheaters.
We could also do our own detective work and find out where we went wrong and 
learn.

I have a beef with UBN and 3 QSO penalty.
Here are some of the culprits. What bothers me are some of the hot shots with 
high numbers and not having me in the log. I was crawling LP on 40 m, mostly 
S/P, had plenty of time trying to make it perfect - no errors. Here I find not 
being in the log of stations that are good ops, high runners, I called them, 
heard my call answered, logged it ... and now I am not in their logs? (Time to 
record the contest.) 
Wonder what happened, did they hit wrong key and not noticed that QSO was not 
logged, were they rubber clocking/QSO N-ning in M/S setup, dropping me out 
(inconvenient "unimportant") points, or was I dreaming of working them (or 
hitting ENTER instead of ESC and logging one who didn't come back)?

60 -N LZ9W(6292)  
  79 -N EA6IB(4474)  
248 -N 8Q7DV(2727)  
  283 -N W3OA(458)  
  328 -N RF3A(2359)  
336 -N VE3NE(849)  
393 -N EY8MM(1254)  
394 -N DU9/N0NM(630)  

Similar story on SSB.

Also I vote for the removal of 3 QSO penalties.
(Or I will work stations and will not log them :-)
