Okay just kidding I'm not going to flat out deny this. For those of you who don't know, WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get)-styled editors are like what you see in Microsoft Word, for instance. The program does the BB-code for you, so you just need to click on the colours and you'll be able to see what your doing directly in the editor. It's a pretty cool function, I guess. I've never seen much use for it, personally, since I type my posts out in Word anyways. The problem I have with the system is because at Cult of Ustream's forums, there was an editor like this installed. It was a pain in the ass, to me, because it disallowed the 'Quick Edit' option, and forced the unnecessary loading of an extra page. Painful if you need a quick edit on a shitty connection. It also decided to completely molest my Word-typed RPing posts, adding linebreaks where they were most certainly unintended (something I wouldn't see until I made my actual post). If there was a plugin that allowed us to force WYSIWYG as the secondary method of posting, I think I'd be more okay with it. If it does not interfere with me and my default style of posting, then I guess all power to you... so long as there is a decent plugin out there.
This was precisely what I was going at I wouldn't use it much either. However, it would be good for everyone who does SPs. If I may take an example from Durasken Uprising...

If only to make the jobs of people with SPs easier.
