@natecull Depends on the state - there isn't one "american" system, there's 50 state systems and a federal one, each of which is independent. (And each with their own failure modes.) Some places they do, other places they can't.

Hi everyone--we've had a big influx of spammers and trolls lately, so far all on other servers. Please report them when you see them, and make liberal use of the block button.
