Good point. I’ll change it so that `tl_0` cannot edit posts.

Looks like it was initially just garbage and then edited to spam, this would have circumvented Watched Words as far as I understand it.

Given that post edits from innocuous gibberish to spam are becoming part of the modus operandi of bots in their efforts to thwart spam filters, does the Discourse team think `tl_0` should by default **not** be able to edit posts?
