Minnesota

Read a random definition: wheel

A quick definition of Minnesota:

Minnesota: Minnesota has laws to prevent unwanted commercial emails, also known as spam. These laws prohibit false or misleading messages and require sexually explicit emails to have a specific label in the subject line. However, some of these laws may be overridden by federal laws. Minnesota used to have a "Do Not Call" list to prevent unwanted telemarketing calls, but this law expired in 2012. Minnesota also has laws to prevent unsolicited advertisements sent via fax machine.

A more thorough explanation:

Commercial Email and Spam: Minnesota has a law that prohibits false or misleading commercial email messages. If an email contains sexually explicit content, the subject line must include "ADV-ADULT." However, this requirement is likely overridden by the federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, which has its own rules for pornographic commercial emails.

Telemarketing & Telephonic Anti-Solicitation: Until 2012, Minnesota had a "Do Not Call" list that prevented telemarketers from calling people who had registered their phone numbers. However, this law expired in 2012. Minnesota also has strict rules about using automated devices for telemarketing purposes.

Faxes, Texts, and Other Media Anti-Solicitation: Minnesota's "Junk Fax Law" prohibits sending unsolicited advertisements via fax machine unless the sender includes a toll-free number that recipients can use to opt-out of future faxes. The sender must also include an address where the recipient can opt-out of future faxes.

For example, if a company sends a fax advertisement to a business without permission, they must include a toll-free number and an address where the business can opt-out of future faxes. This law helps prevent unwanted fax advertisements from clogging up fax machines and wasting paper.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
