The Supreme Court has been called into session to rule on the banning of spambots on the forum. Previous to this, the accounts have been deleted by the forum administrator, but under the terms of the Citizenship and Immigration Act, this action may be deemed to be unlawful.
Consideration should be taken of the fact that the policy of banning spambots began before the passing of the Citizenship and Immigration Act. Although no IP addresses were banned during this period, a number of accounts were deleted, as per the policy.
The Court must decide whether to uphold these bans, or revoke them with immediate effect, a decision which would affect 18 IP addresses. Due to the involvement of the Executive Government in this action, a Temporary Justice must be appointed to the case. Parliament will nominate a Temporary Justice within one week.
