I think I am at least partially "to blame" for some people not posting scores to 
3830. A few years ago, I posted to CQ-Contest comparing 3830-posted scores to 
the final results. Based on the e-mail I received, some folks didn't like their 
score reduction (or category reclassification) being made so public.

I would like to see the log submission robot make its own claimed score 
calculation, and that score posted to the "logs submitted" web site. Surely, 
that wouldn't be a difficult add-on to the robot processing.
