operation.

Could not agree more with Bruce's comment.  What can we do, or what are we,
going to do, to fix other contests that permit runaway QRZing?  (Rhetorical
question.)

Comments:

Primarily S&P. Even though I didn't operate that long, it was the most I've
operated in Sweepstakes since 1997. I liked that stations were essentially
forced to identify as part of the exchange, so no long runs of QRZ with no
call sign - the bane of unassisted operation.
