I don't want to see any reports that simply mention an errant packet or
two, regardless of what the packet destination port was.

I do want to see reports of systematic and repeated attacks where a

adequate documentation to demonstrate the persistence and variance of
such annoyances.

I obviously want to hear about successful penetrations too.
