Yes, it does need both. Peer pressure has the weight of numbers, but it 
means nothing unless we also see a firm stand from the rule-makers.

But e-mails after the contest are too late. One way of applying pressure 
*during* the contest (with very little overhead for the victims) would 
be to spot such stations as a "No ID". That would place a complaint on 
the permanent record, complete with frequency and time. We can surely 
credit the adjudicators with the sense to distinguish between genuine 
complaints and an orchestrated campaign.
