Edict #14
“I am hungry. Maybe it’s just me; it has been a while since I experienced human senses, but this food doesn’t smell very good.”
Ok, this is a bit of an odd one. I have noted a couple of accounts that are showing the traits of a spam bot:

The notes in particular are:

I’m writing this as an edict as I am effectively ‘banning’ these accounts from STF. The Internet Department is to disable these accounts to prevent them from spamming the boards any further.
Additionally, I would like the Coder to investigate the use of a simple capatcha to filter these.
