please please please don't put in a WYSIWYG editor, all of them are horrid, and half the time they're bugged (yes, ALL of em do that. No exceptions. Simply because the <textarea> element was never meant to be styled. Simple as that)
I for myself prefer plain text or BBCode, since I believe in good design and content which should follow the given design. Usually for posts this should be enough.
But for any person uncommon with html or BBCode WYSIWYG or plain text may be the better way. And with WYSIWYG ONLY to give some base formatting in the given design.
BBC. Easy to use and is common everywhere, especially on the mod sites. You know how much of a pain it is to switch formats when updating on multiple sites? Copy/Paste FTW.

Nevir27 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 22:39:53I'm a huge sucker for markdown as well
Having extremely readable raw text and nicely formatted results makes for a better experience!

Dashsmash Sun, 16 Nov 2008 13:23:55I'd say Textile or Markdown - would be awesome to include these options.
