Forced No Caps

[Summit]

Would you guys please turn off the stupid filter that turns an all caps post like "I LOLED" into "i loled"? It's an annoying nanny device.

 

[HotelCo]

Agreed. As a side note: can you add "loled" into the filter?

 

[MMiz]

Sure, done.

 

[Summit]

THANKS!

 

[nomofica]

Muuuuch better.

 

[MMiz]

For the record, I've noticed two posts in all caps since changing the setting. It looks like this feature may need to be turned back on.

 

[MMiz]

We tried, but I am getting tired of reading all of the all caps thread titles and posts. This feature has been turned back on so that users don't type in all caps.

Matt, can it be set so that if more than a certain number of letters are caps it kicks in?

We're open to feedback. What do you think it should be set at and why?

 

[nomofica]

I'd say nothing more than 20-25 characters in a row.

I'd say nothing more than 20-25 characters in a row.

Including or excluding spaces??

 

[Chimpie]

I'd say nothing more than 20-25 characters in a row.

And for the second part of the question... Why 20-25 characters?

 

[Aidey]

I've seen another forum that has it set to 10 characters, so people can use acronyms without having an issue, but they can't "yell".

 

[Summit]

Yea, a 10-20 consecutive limit makes sense.
