I suspect that many of us filter incoming spots so we will only see those originating where we can also reasonably expect to hear the spotted station.  For example, I only see spots from states surrounding mine.  Presumably, a self-spot coming from station X will appear on the cluster network as originating at Station X's location, rather than at a distant location where Station X might logically be heard.

In a way, this goes right to the principle that self-spotting violates , by making the self-spotted station be the spotter, rather than someone actually receiving its signal.
