Hmm, I'm not sure I understand the question.
That it's easy to write bots that can post to the wiki using Rebol? My
impression is that this is true, but I'm not very familiar with that
language. Of course there's a potential for abuse, but that's not
specific to Rebol;it's inherent in allowing random people to edit our
site over the network.
Of course, if we ever do get massive spamming from a script, we can
massively roll back the spam. (ie, we can take the salt back out of our
coffee after some joker got us to pour it in.)
