Yeah you have to assume that if a user can input anything, someone will use it to spam. Text, photos, video, audio... literally any form of user input.

I've recently started getting spam via various service providers' password reset e-mails.

"Hi buy this pill quick and cheap from http://here*, you requested a password reset"

Hhhhhhrrrrgh

Oh wow that's even better than analytics referrer spam.

I suspect there are bots that go looking for forms to fill in without knowing what the context is, i.e. they'll target anything with an input tag.
