Not to worry Tom, I have emailed the guys about it, I'm by no means telling the internet at large, there are links to that site all over Google and other sites, I just found it interesting to have un-moderated content on the web, especially when the recent conversations on this mailing list have been about securing applications to stop abuse of such things.
I get the whole community focus of something like a wiki and really like the concept, but allowing anonymous entries and edits seems like they're taking a little too far, not only are you open to abuse from users that may stumble across it, but the fight against bot spam would no doubt be lost very quickly. It really interests me to learn about other sites doing similar things.

I;m slightly surprised you've not come across them before, as they're very 2.0-user-generated-content. If you feel you've discovered a security problem, the responsible approach is to email the company in question, not inform the internet at large. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to competently harvest proactive data on: http://thefalken.livejournal.com **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
