Forum Discussion: No All Caps

Pokémon342548 · March 20

Currently, there are many posts that are using all caps in this forum. We should stop using all caps in here.

"All caps" posts are posts that only use capital letters in it, and it contain 1 or more "all caps" sentences, e.g. "THIS IS AN EXAMPLE SENTENCE." Is the example sentence easy to read? No. "All caps" sentences aren't easy to read at all. Moreover, if you use all caps, you may be considered as you are shouting. Your "volume" can even be much "louder" if you combine "all caps" with bold and/or italic, e.g. "THIS IS AN EXAMPLE SENTENCE." So, please stop it.

Again, no all caps. I hope that we can make the forums even better than before!

Am I saying something that isn't right?

I MEAN, STYLIZING TEXT LIKE THIS COULD BE FOR EMPHASIS, RIGHT?

But not too much.

I mean quite a few stories circulate through the forums so emphasis does appear from time to time

You're not wrong!

I understand where you are coming from here. I would like to up this post and see if others feel the same way?

I think there are times where using all-caps can be helpful in order to emphasize or organize parts of a post, but if your entire post is all-caps, you're probably doing something wrong.
