I know this is not likely where I should raise what I have noticed is happening lately, but not sure how to pass along info to moderators directly. Anyways. I receive email notification of replies to topics I have posted to. Likely alot of us do. In the past couple of days I have received totally off topic/spam-like replies. This morning I received an email about "watches" on a topic under "Forum Support Only-No tractor questions". That caught my eye because I have never posted under that Forum Heading. So I logged on and went there and sure enough there the "watches" reply to a topic "6G/HD6"- which by the way I had posted to-BUT not under that Heading. Then I notice that almost all the topics are tractor related under a non-tractor related heading.
 
Can any one shed any light on this and has any one else seen this stuff. I love this forum and if some hackers/spammers are messing around it would be nice to stop them. I hope Darren already has either witnessed this or been advised.

One other thing I noticed was the "watches" posting was done by a "guest". I didn't know a "guest" could post. Am I missing something here?

In the area of help not tractor , way down in the bottom guest can post , or members who can't log in can post there for help recovering password or other problems.
 When a spam post is put into that area or for that matter any post is added to it moves to top of list.  If you have your page set to recieve messages you will get a e-mail or notice when someone posts to a site you posted or link your on, as it is a new post.
 The area is now cleaned of the spam posts (for now )
were a bunch there yesterday as well as again today.
few other new members spam posts also yesterday, but see those were removed.
Just use the dropdown menu to report the posts to the men in black and they ca nremove them . make a note on post if you report it as it prevents the admistrators being sent lots of messages on same thing.
 Also notice the owners regestry is a lot cleaner of late.
 Other night it took me couple hours to remove spam as site was slow . All members can remove spam posts from owners regestry so anytime you go there and see spam , delete it .
