I don't want this forum to be a place where people can't post with tabs. (I use spaces personally, so it's not that kind of bias.)
If we implicitly convert tabs to spaces, that's a separate issue. It might be a good enough temporary solution but we'll have people (as others have mentioned) posting code where they're mixed and (1) we won't realize their issue and/or (2) their ugly code will work but if we copy-paste from their post it'll be incorrect indentation. We should preserve their code exactly, any changes risk communication.
