Spam checkers don't work (particularly well). Especially for non-mail.
I'd prefer the dual-opt-in-like behaviour where the user is mailed and
asked to confirm that he/she submitted the note.
After say 10 unconfirmed mails by a particular address, they could get
blacklisted.
BTW, I just made some changes to the notes scripts to use new, shorter URLs.
