Bug description:
  TinyMCE will strip bad strings from input, eg <script> tags but we
  must make sure we don't just rely on that alone. We should also clean
  up input on the server/php end as one can create their own packet of
  POST data containing bad content to hit the server with.

  This can be seen in the Wall plugin where we can make a wallpost POST
  package have a bad 'text' value and have it save unaltered.
