[CQ-Contest] Public access to logs

[N7mal]

I would like to suggest we stay with the original topic regarding this
ARRL policy about rejecting QSOs for credit if a log is published. My 
question
is how serious a problem is this.?. How many people(documented) are
'B.S-ing' their call into a log to get a card.?. How many people have
actually been caught doing this.?. In other words is this really a serious
problem or the ARRL throwing it's weight around. I think once you submit
your contest log to CQ(or whoever) you no longer have any liability, you're
not the one who published the contest log.
The ultimate solution, for contest logs, is mandatory submission to L.O.T.W.
There are no 'gray' areas with L.O.T.W. You are either in a log or not in a
log, there's no negotiating. If the contest station copied your call wrong 
'SORRY you loose'.
It has been pointed out this is not the first time this subject has been 
brought up. I've yet to see any definitive proof there is a problem with 
contest logs. It would be nice if someone from the ARRL could enlighten our 
group with some facts/figures. Then if an adjustment to the policy is needed 
it can be addressed at that time.
Again my -2cents worth.

You knowingly submitted ineligible & possibly fradulent cards to the card
checkers to try and fool them?

You know what... never mind.  I'm not rehashing the same responses... again.
The bottom line is that DXCC is the ARRL's award, & they make the rules.
You don't care for the rules, or for their high (and strict) standards?
Then don't participate.  It's that simple.
