I am guessing Tom (#1) was making light of this. Pretty good idea though.

"Lid lists" are a BAD idea.
Who knows what happened. They guy makes a simple mistake, and he is on
your list. Someone was at your shack (or "borrowed" you call...) What if
you busted the "bad" call?
Then, there are folks that share their lid lists. You think a guy is a
problem, and all of a sudden I am supposed to not log him either...
To make matters worse, the lid has NO idea he is on a lid list, being
penalized for something he has no idea what... How he ended up on such a
list, for how long for reasons unknown. That way, he has no idea how to do
things right/learn from his mistakes.
What happens if YOU end up on a lid list? Chances are at some point you
have stepped on someones toes for reasons real or imagined.
See - its a slippery slope can get real bad, real fast :-(

Is it possible to have a "Call Check" like addition to contest logging
programs that filter out the calls of those neophyte contesters who break
all of the rules of RTTY contesting? That way, we wouldn't have to waste
time working them. Anyone that calls me Thomas instead of Tom, would be
added to the list. It doesn't matter if he's in Deleware, or not. Dump
the guy from my screen!
Just a thought.
