I believe if people used the announcements portion of DX Summit and not the
remarks as part of a spot, it would provide a bread crumb trail for the contest
sponsors and not reward the offender with a spot. However since we are talking
CW and spots are supposedly meaningless in the world of skimmers, the spot
shouldn't be viewed as having rate boosting value - my personal experience is
that they still do but what do I know.

I think that intentionally posting busted spots to the network is a bad idea.
Perhaps making use of the classic spotting networks' announcement feature might
work better ("WA1XYZ keyclicks 20m"), although I don't know that contest
loggers are set up to easily make use of the announce functionality.
But it would be a way to provide an automatically-logged way to register
concern about a bad signal or other issues that doesn't reward the problem
stations with the benefit of a spot. The contest committee can grab such
complaints from a node's logs, and check the band recordings when they become
available.

So bust his call in the spot, and then correct it in the comment field.
