View Full Version : Autocorrecting capital letter posts

I understand in the past there was a problem with people shouting all the time and that with repeat offenders it's irritating to read, but more than anything, the autocorrect feature this website has is worse.

For example - if I'm creating a thread and quoting a news article, unless I post something underneath the quote all capital letters disappear within the quote.

It's also impossible to post anything that legitimately requires all-capital letters. Acronyms, bands, album titles.

The worst thing about this however is when you try to reply to a celebrity death with "R.I.P." and it comes out as "R.i.p." :bored: ****ing appalling

Sort this out right bloody now.

The thing that pisses me off is it correcting 'BB7' or whatever to Bb7. Get rid. And the swear filter while we're at it. Thanks.

I've had that happen to me loads of times, it's annoying so when I say R.I.P now I just hope for the best.

Maybe just dont be crap and make shallow 3 letter posts then?
You can say R.I.P. to the capital filter that way and if calling somebody a rampaging wanky twat arse sucker isnt enough for you then you probably need to stop making dumb posts anyway tbh.

There is still a limit to the ALL-CAPS posts. I just increased it.

Thought that would be enough to cover the scenarios outlined above.
