We simply need a published User Service Agreement. We had one for PCSAT so that everyone knew the rules. http://aprs.org/pcsat/contract.txt
And one for everyone of our satellites.
Generally, unattended beacons were *not* authorized except for remote data experiments and then those authorized beacon rates were once every 2 minutes. The rules for attended operators were also posted. Without clear rules for everyone to follow, then service degrades for everyone.

"It would be nice for those using unattended auto beacons to indicate so
in their beacon message so people do not waste time trying to do a short QSO with them."
