We don't allow HTML (or any scripting for that matter) in any entries that'll be inserted into our database; in fact, all coding is stripped and sanatized before it even comes in contact with our database servers.

We do however allow BBCode to be added to any postings so that you can retain formatting in your articles (or any other data). The BBCode will only be parsed for the "content" or "description" sections of a posting, and not for names, links, or other fields.

We will filter out a lot of the BBCode in postings, especially if they throw off the design of the site or make your entry difficult to read.

The link and image tags must go through a special approval process and will regularly be filtered until content is approved. Images will likely be locally mirrored.

To insert a BBCode, simply enter it's name within brackets ([]'s), you must open and close your entries or they will not be parsed (ie, if you open it, you must close it [open]example[/close]. For display, we'll show these outside of brackets with a description below. The current (July 2009) BBCode that will be parsed is as follows:
blink - Will display "blinking" text.
b - Bold, will make your text BOLD.
i - Italicize, will ITALICIZE your text.
u - Underline, will UNDERLINE your text.
s or strike - Strikethrough, will [s]STRIKETHROUGH[/s] your text.
spoiler - Spoiler, will wrap your text in a hidden div until clicked.
