I have found a couple of posts which seems to be some sort of a spam by someone who has evil intentions.
The 2 posts can be seen here:

I suppose this can be taken control off by preventing guests from posting ? Its not recommended, cause that would drive away half the people who come here for the first time. Any other solutions ?

Guests Spamming ?
Hi paCkeTroUTer,
It's most likely someone just playing around in this case.
If I find any I delete it as I have done with these.
Hopefully the poster will start to realise it's a wast of their time.
I could block the IP address but this may keep out innocent people so it is another last resort.
Thanks for pointing it out.

Guests Spamming ?
Oops, been busy all afternoon. What were the posts along the lines of?
In the past few weeks I've deleted a couple that have quoted another post in a thread with nothing else in their post. But those looked like new threads... hmm will keep my eyes peeled, and share IP addys with Tony to see if a load come from the same place.

Guests Spamming ?
@dJomp:
The posts that Tony deleted were the same as you described: posts containing only the quote of an earlier post.
:?:
At first I wondered if someone was suffering the N00b Blues and didn't know how to work a message board (you know- because it's so damn complex) but after your post about this happening before I guess it is just someone messing around. I wish I could get my kicks that easily...
