There should be a BBCode mode, and a Markdown mode, with a toggle in the editor. BBCode is better for longer posts, but Markdown is easier once you understand it. Also, most people use ** for bold and _ for italics. so there's no confusion.

2.2 Text-based syntax in Scratch
Some users wish to code Scratch not with the blocks, but with typing code instead (similar to how more advanced programming languages work). Others are interested in an option to view, convert, or download Scratch code to other programming languages. However, the Scratch Team has discussed this possibility multiple times and has decided every time that it would not be beneficial for beginners or teachers.

This suggestion extends to coding, viewing, converting, or downloading Scratch in any text-based language, including BBCode, Javascript, some form of pseudocode, or some other programming language. If you wish to code using another language, then you can learn it on your own, but it would have to be done outside of Scratch. For those who are interested, it may be worth checking out Tosh. It is a text-based programming language that serves as a text editor for Scratch projects. Another option is MakeCode Arcade, a programming language that can convert between block-based and text-based programming within the editor.

It's not. You would just have an option to write Markdown instead of BBCode.

Well if the context is the editor, then it is.
If the context is about the forums instead, how would it switch between Markdown and BBCode?
