: Could you expand a bit on what the "red-flag" precess is, and how the
: FCC computers are involved?

Last I saw a couple years ago, you fill out an online complaint form with the FCC, the offender is "red-flagged" in the computers as being a violator, and sent a notice to resolve the issue.  They are sent another letter in a couple of weeks or a month or so asking both you and them how it was resolved and if done to your satisfaction.  If not, they give them a set time to resolve it, then ask again, if not, maybe a couple more, if not resolved then they start to send the threatening letters, quoting all sorts of violations of Federal law, fines per incident per day, et cetera and inform them to resolve it again and so forth.  Once they are flagged, it doesn't stop until you inform the feds it's now fixed.  Since it's computerized, it's automated and perpetual and doesn't stop until resolved and the "red flag" is removed from their name.
