That's the control of Jolt. I doubt it would happen.. plus, what tags would you be needing?

From a week ago:

The reason HTML is not allowed in forum posts is the security risk involved.

Heh. Once upon a time (early 2003), HTML was enabled on the NationStates forums. That changed when somebody posted a javascript pop-up recursion thing.

And regarding the Regional message boards.

No. Never. Too much of a security issue.

yea, html means javascript, and javascript can be used for very evil stuff.
Like redirecting the page to some nasty porn, and stuff.
