>Posts of unknown authorship have a disclaimer at the top of the page.

Problem is, the posts can contain <script> elements. So it's easy to just write a little JavaScript that removes the disclaimer at the top. See this hastily-made, immature example of mine:

As it stands, this really isn't the most secure system. Something much more malicious could be injected into this!
