Can't then any hacker, or even someone accidently, POST literally any code whatsoever?

This website has been around for a long time, and many of the greatest Perl hackers of all time have passed through these halls. Do you really think no one here knows about Bobby Tables? And I believe you were linked to Markup in the Monastery already, did you take the time to look at that? Or perhaps tried to post some <script> tags yourself to see whether XSS attacks are even possible?

If you want to show that you're here to help and improve things, I would suggest you start looking at the codebase, which you've been given access to. Otherwise, people are going to lose patience and start assuming you're just trolling.
