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.
