Default NO NEED TO POST IN ALL caps

Now, looking at that title, in all caps, doesn't it make me seem angry? Or like I'm yelling at you? To me, it does.
When people post their thread titles or make posts using all caps, it's like your being yelled at. For example, let's pretend your new and posted a thread in the wrong section. Would you rather someone posting: HEY! THIS THREAD DOESN'T BELONG HERE! IT GOES IN THE [...] SECTION!
Or: Hey, this goes in the [...] section.

Which seemed friendlier? I think the second one for sure.

And when you make thread titles all caps, it makes you seem desperate for views, or that you're trying to get attention. Ya know what I'm saying?

Instead of doing Caps, do Bold, Italic, or underlined. Or maybe use Font Three if it's important...

Just remember: All caps is internet yelling, and no one likes being yelled at.

Thanks so much for bringing that up, I hate when people do that. Especially in titles when they say "Do YOU like the webkinz panda?" It makes me feel like they are yelling in my face and poking me.. lol

You know some People Have problems seeing. My friend uses all caps because of her vision. Does that mean because she uses caps we should consider her yelling because she has vision problems? I think we should understand there are people that read the forums that have difficulty reading what they type, and use caps to make it easier to read.

Tribbles - your friend might want to consider using a larger font rather than all caps - then they would have less chance of being misunderstood - all caps is typically interpreted as "yelling" on the internet. It's also helpful to use computer software that enlarges the entire post - so they can read what they wrote and what others responded.

Sometimes I do use all caps, but it's not 'yelling'!
Sometimes I do want to get peoples attention because I'm excited.
It depends on the wording wheather it's yelling or not.

I don't think of all caps as yelling. It's not any different to me than "bold" or "italics". I just view it as something that is very important to the writer that they really want you to hear. At the end of the day, it's all just letters and words to me. But you do have a very interesting opinion on this.

Lol TexasGirl . . . I don't mind those kind of caps in titles but they make think of Uncle Sam . . . xD. You have a very good point mouse. DON'T POST IN ALL CAPS LIKE THIS cause it would seem like you're yelling. Sometimes it's alright to have all caps, cause they don't always mean that you're yelling.
