::Forum - Is there a reason why the HTML tag "horizontal rule" is blocked?

Year 10 Day 348 2:42	Is there a reason why the HTML tag "horizontal rule" is blocked?
Phillip Bromley	When I was posting a new forum thread, I attempted to use the HTML horizontal rule tag to divide up my post into sections, but it didn't work. I know that SWC blocks certain HTML tags for security reasons, but how does this tag affect security?

Cesodevo Avina	There's a button where you get the same affect. __________________________ It's simple to find on your keyboard, really. __________________________ Can't tell you exactly where it is since I don't know what language your keyboard is, but it's an underline button.

Hal Breden	It's not always just about security, it's also about taste.

Phillip Bromley	Cesodevo, that's what I did to substitute, and it looks really ugly. And Hal, what do you mean "about taste"? Do you mean to say that SWC blocks the horizontal rule tag because they think it's ugly?

Hal Breden	Or prone to misuse to create ugly posts.

Mikel von Bianchi	Censorship! The will of the people to create hideous threads must be preserved! We shall overcome! Si se puede! Yes we can! You know you can find even prettier HRs by just inserting a centered image, right?

Phillip Bromley	Well, any HTML is prone to misuse, so why not block all HTML (not really)? I don't see what the problem is, they're not ugly.

Fernando Mojave	If I were you, i'd take it to the web site suggestions. I definitely support the idea.

De`zheel Rynak	De`zheel wonders what a post with a long horixzontal line between each word would look like... Yes... yes... he thinks it can be done...

Phillip Bromley	Why would anybody do that? By blocking the horizontal rule, you only hurt those who use it properly, while spammers will still have the "font" tag in their arsenal of tools. Not to mention the potentially pornographic "img" tag, you can't forget about that. You allow HTML images and links, but block horizontal rules? That's just silly. How could you even begin to explain to somebody how a horizontal rule can be worse than an image or a link?

Syn	As you've already been told, if you don't agree, there's a website suggestions forum where you can bring it up.
