I must fortify my inner hatred for *all* people, focus it, and lash out at those who would dare and unknowingly stand in my way.

Don't mind the Chicken Littles, they panic at everything.
Except they ignore what's really dangerous.

Why don't spam-bots reply to topics?

...and can that be exploited in some way?

A bunch of fora use an additional feature that spambots don't seem to catch on to. There would be a text box that says something like "today's anti spam feature is brought to you by the letter Q. Type that in this box."

Reply to topic is a unique URL whereas post a new thread is always the same?

So why don't I just make the post URL unique with a timestamp or something?
