Why is posting in capitals against the rules?
 

I was just wondering why posting in capitals is against the rules. I can totally see why there are some certain rules in place on here, but posting in caps lock? It's not causing anyone no harm and sometimes people leave it on by accident. Yeah it may make the forum look messy (well in whoever made the rule's opinion) but it's not exactly going to stop people from posting on here if they see posts in capitals.

Yeah, I was wondering this too.

I agree.

Dont see the point really.

Presumably because its messy and it represents shouting, and shouting isn't nice. Or something like that. :spin:

I think it's because its messy?

lol

iv always wondered

Sometimes I do it for the thrill of getting the red message from Red :tongue:

I always do it and never get told off *is jinxing self*

But I think it's fine if you need do-with anger or excitement.

LOL
:love:

he just deleted a post because of that!

I KNOW I DONT AGREE.





lol kidding.

Thanks Marcus, I can always count on you :wink:

I guess, because if you are posting in capitals you are considered to be shouting, and since shouting can be considered as aggressive behavior there is a rule about it.

However, the rules made a long time before I was a mod, so you had better put your question to Mark since he is now the owner of the site and the person that drew up the rules.

* in heavenly voice * Same thought dear marcus.

capitals!!!!

tsk..tsk..tsk


lol

Rules are rules, I just enforce them.

Ask Mark or Lee.

Same xD

Aslong as you post sensibly using it, it should be ok. But its annoying when they do it for no reason or are shouting! x

Are We Aloud To Type Like This Or Is It Against The Rules?

:shocked::shocked:
Did someone else used to be?

I think thats fine, Ann.

Annoying, ugly, unneccersary(sp), untidy anddd its not proper grammar. At school or whatever in your work you wouldn't write in caps would you. Only where a capital letter is needed.

but its not like our typing on the internet is being assesed...so school is a different stroy. ^_^

YEH WELL LOOK HOW UGLY THIS LOOKS. Makes people look stupid in my eyes :P
