[CQ-Contest] Random acts of kindness, Unassisted Categories, Rules, etc.

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

A log received after the dealine is a check log by their own rules!
Accepting the log is completely unacceptable.  Getting the log in on time is
as much as part of the rules as getting the exchange correctly.  Consistant
enforcement of all rules needs to happen.  

Why should that person be given any extra time.  It makes me wonder what he
is doing with his log that he can't get it in on time.

I think the log deadlines should be much shorter than they are.  90 percent
of the logs (guess) are electronic.

A week is plenty of time to get your log submitted electronically or in the
mail and postmarked prior to the entry deadline.

Okay, we have beaten this horse to death, now, for another ethical/rules
question.

What would you say about a perennial top-10 finisher in Sweepstakes who
year-after-year submits his log after the published deadline ?  He/she is
always a few days late, yet his submission is always accepted.

Is the log submission deadline just another 55 MPH speed limit ?  When
should a submitted log be rejected, assuming there are no extenuating
circumstances ?
