This is why I think that training is essential before the act comes into force.

You forgot to include dismiss the claim in Ofcoms variety of powers. Or do you think nobody makes frivolous complaints just because they can or out of spite or just because they don't agree with a completely reasonable post? What are the penalties going to be for repeated time wasters who think this new rule will give them carte blanche to spend their days complaining?
