No i actually only want to be able to suppress bbcode that can break my layout.
I have a template that reminds the google link layout but with a site thumbnail all within a fieldset...

so a text like:
hello this is a red bold, italic text with smiley
is acceptable..

But a description containing [ html ], [ php ] or [ CODE ] or [ QUOTE ] tags can really break the layout.

also if i limit the description lenght to lets say 500 chars.. and in editor there is a long quote ... it will get truncated in the middle of the [ quote ]...

i thought of a fix.. but maybe you have a better idea.
1. replace the editor with quickreply (but add smilies as dropdown or below like here in normal editor)

2. do a preg or str _replace to remove unwanted tags...

(its not that users will use those tags by inadvertance.. but some really want to break layout)
