ElliotLH WHY DO CAPS MATTER?

You edited one of my post and took the caps out of the title, I'm just curious on why it matters.

  • @plaguedsoldier1 Because caps in posts indicate yelling? That’s my guess, there’s an anticipation of respectful discourse between forums members, AND YELLING IS BAD! See how that looks?
  • Writing in all caps is generally looked down upon across most media and studies show it's actually harder (or just more annoying) to read.

    I believe it's against site rules as well.

  • Hi @plaguedsoldier1 You'd have been welcome to DM me to ask this. However, to answer your question, it's simply so posts conform to forum rules around formatting - if you check the post from SharpGoblin, they've included it as a reference.
