Honestly, I have no opinion either way. The rationale is mainly that it’s not necessary on the site and that there’s other ways to make it look good. The focus of the database is more to give accurate information, clearly and precisely, not to make it look good. I can see how it can potentially take away from a good answer, or become a big thing that needs moderation. I see your point too, where, it’s not that big of a deal for us to edit it out if it’s too much, or tell people to tone it down, but ultimately it would be extra work for mods with no major gain to the quality of the site, if that makes sense. In other words, it’s easier for everyone if we exclude it. Although, I’m not against allowing it in moderation, either.
