Well, one issue I can see is that anyone can post without an account. To some extent that's not a bad thing, but at the same time it doesn't really let you control who gets to post. That can be very bad if you end up being on the receiving end of a grudge (which, I hate to say, I exploited along with a bunch of others members of a message board when someone we banned created their own board in order to get back at us. A... less than mature response, though this was years ago.)
I'd recommend probably making users sign up for accounts. In theory that should hopefully prevent porn bots from getting through. If that doesn't work, a validation process might be in order.
As for me, I'm considering joining this board, and the user name is something I might consider. Really all depends on how I'm feeling (which is quiet frankly stressed out at the moment between full-time school, full-time work, and the holidays coming up.)
