There needs to be a rule against capslock.

I don't want to name any names or anything, but there are certain users who are just annoying as piss and I skip their posts all together.

So yeah. Can we get some enforcement on grammar, typing behavior/styles, capslock, etc?

That is considered spamming on most stages, such as doing it for the purpose of being an annoyance - or too outrageous/butchering a language.

Quote from Falsetto:
Do not spam people's topics or their PM box (Spam Zone is the only exception)
- Spam includes advertisements, content deemed inappropriate or illegal, and flooding of the boards
- Spam stands for Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages, so do not post topics that fall under the categories of: stupid, pointless, or annoying.

However, if it is just an honest mistake or habit, they are just told so if it is annoying - usually if they continue it is looked down upon.

The only reason it looks like this is the RP event that's going on right now. Two people are RPing trolls or something from Homestuck, and it happens that those characters type funny. Chill.
