If your regulations limit the pole to J and someone breaks that, then they should be protested. If you think it is ignorance on their part you can politely inform them of their error and ask them to RAF for the race. If they tell you to flip off, protest them. All it takes is one or two people to get chucked from a race to stop the behavior.
We are for the most part a self policing sport and rely on others to inform us when we break a rule and we are expected to either accept the penalty or get protested. Our RC is often staffed by one-design sailors who are not aware of all the PHRF regs. You could probably snap a picture with your phone to show the illegal extension.
