Per request of webchick, I added <hr> to Filtered HTML -- No Markdown and Filtered HTML formats.
She also reports that we are allowing <img> tags - this are disallowed by default on drupal.org for security reasons - should that tag be removed for normal uses on g.d.o too?

Security concerns are overblown
I think the security concerns are overblown. The worst people can do, afaik, is leverage it to more easily do csrf. I'm willing to take the risk that g.d.o doesn't have any important actions that are vulnerable to csrf in exchange for allowing images.
Or am I missing some threat?

Hurray for reason!
Hurray for reason! Disallowing images in 2010 is absurd. The attachment cycle thats required on drupal.org is cruel and unusual punishment.

Agree with Moshe - communication process nowadays is more visual - just for the reason: it is simply more effective - especially in growing international community, where there are some limitations concerning one's spoken language...
Cons are rather aesthetic IMHO.
