This has little to do with RAQs specifically, it is more related to the software you are running on whatever server it is you have.  If you are using PHP there is a string operator function for removing all HTML and PHP tags automatically
from posts. Additionally you could use regex functions to remove <script> tags etc.
I am not familiar with CGI, ASP, etc, but I would imagine they have the same functionality.

I believe this is a coding/programming issue rather than server related. Definitely something to be concerned with, tho.
