Talking in all caps?
Well. I just looked through the rules and didn’t see a rule for talking in all caps? Is it spam or...?

Re: Talking in all caps?
That doesn’t answer my question... Can you actually answer it? I wasn’t asking if it was fine or not. I was wondering why they were enforcing a rule that wasn’t there. Would caps lock be in the spam category, or something?Grep42 wrote:NAW, TALKING IN ALL CAPS IS FINE TO ME.

Re: Talking in all caps?
I have seen a few times where somebody gets corrected by a mod, so I would say just don't do it at all. I don't think that there would even be a reason to do it. So yes, I believe it is considered spamming.

Re: Talking in all caps?
I'm not sure, but when people type in caps it usually means they're shouting or emphasizing a word. It could be considered as a way of trolling as it can be annoying. It's not really such a big issue unless the text is offensive, just remind the person politely not to talk in caps, and if they refuse, then it probably is trolling.

Re: Talking in all caps?
Yes, to confirm talking in caps is considered shouting. If used excessively it can be classified as SPAM and a moderator will correct it or possibly give the user a warning if its been happening quite often. Generally it is frowned upon since there's no real need to yell.
Since the question seems answered, I'll go ahead and lock. ;3
