They suck spots from the network in multiple connections, share nothing with the network apart from spots and have little or no security. It is difficult to know which callsigns are being used to suck the spots from the network, so difficult to deal with. If you have any thoughts, I am sure we would all be happy to hear them ;)<div><br></div><div>73 Ian<br><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On 17 Feb 2023, at 22:53, Keith via Dxspider-support <dxspider-support@tobit.co.uk> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><meta charset="UTF-8"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="">Hi<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style=""><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="">Whilst we are all in the mood to try and improve the cluster network, I have been asked by local amateurs how we will now stop abuse via the likes of the DX Summit webcluster?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="">I know that in the past, many fake spots have been propagated through this site, as that has been traced as the source.
