It would open the forum to numerous cyber attacks--injection attacks being the most common.  User input must always be carefully sanitized.

Plus, while that would be very cool if used responsibly, there is a reason that Facebook replaced MySpace, where everyone was given such power.  It would inevitably lead to some of the world's most annoying forum signatures.
