Today, I see a number of guests messages in this forum that just quote some message in a topic, and add nothing.
This is no spam, but it is useless. I think Chris will delete these posts, but I wonder what they are. Somebody playing with the buttons? Using a computer with a mouse but no keyboard? Evil or Very Mad

Perhaps somebody playing with a AHK script...
Or somebody testing if the forum is ripe for spam... Twisted Evil

Yes, I do delete those when I notice them. In addition, IP addresses will get banned for repeat offenses of that nature (I know IP banning isn't too effective due to proxies, etc; but it's better than nothing). If the problem ever gets worse, there are some contingency plans that ready to be put into effect.
