[CQ-Contest] Proposal for keeping UNassisted category

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

 Wait...


So because of cheaters, you want us (the contest community, collectively, including sponsors, log checkers, and operators) to penalize those who (for whatever reason) prefer SO by making it less interesting to cheaters?  


Really?

Instead, change people behavior.

Make assisted/all allowed category MORE interesting for the cheaters:

- Raise the public recognition

- Better, more incentives

- Bigger prizes, larger plaques



On the other hand, lower the incentive for UNassisted, make it LESS interesting
to participate for cheaters

- No incentives

- No plaques

- Lower public recognition



Since we cannot influence peoples own responsibility and personal merits of
honesty and pride, we have to make SO less and Assisted more attractive.

We might as well let go of the materialistic and large public recognition for SO
contenders. We can share recognition within our peer group, do not need the
gold/wood.

Pride is in the accomplishment, the long road to and sharing knowledge/operating
experiences with our peer-friends.
