erm, what are those links supposed to be? When I click on them I get "no matches"

Odd, so do I. They were links to recent posts of a couple of members who'd used all caps almost exclusively. Not sure how to link to that now. :confused2

Was Stuart one of them? I don't see him posting in all caps and yet he got a warning for it. Why I've no idea, it's not like you're trying to stop him doing it all the time, who cares if he does it once or twice?

seems like an interesting bunch of guidelines/rules....for the caps lock thing, is that up to the mods, or is it automatic? one can hardly blame a person say if trez scores on the 89th minute and they post "GOAL TREZEGUET" or something like that imo

It's up to the mods. I'm getting the impression we may have been a little too enthusiastic enforcing that one, but things will settle down - it always takes a few days to get used to any shift in here.

    I gotta say giving warnings for posting in caps is like bookings for taking the shirt off after celebrating a goal, it's idiotic. Of course it's not nice to have the posts in caps but very few people actually post consistently in caps à la Vinman, so when they do post in caps it's because they have something special to say. Which is rather understandable in match threads. Otherwise they can post "we scored!!!!!!!!!" in lowercase, which ultimately makes very little difference, cause the message is the same. It's not like you save space by replacing ascii characters.

    Anywho: mechanical sanctions of uppercase posting is dumb and you know it. :)

    People only get warned if it's very annoying though. :p
