Imagine every single post on this site posted in all caps.

...

That's why. It would be a major eyesore.

What the hell can you do with all caps that you can't do with regular lowercase words? Nothing, aside from grabbing attention.

Yep. I don't think we would want EVERY THREAD to have an all-caps title.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Heh. Yeah, what a terrible idea, making a rule that makes forums readable. Power abuse, I say.

Oh, and to save you the effort of making another thread, the moderators enforce this silly little rule about not double posting because it needlessly brings a thread to the top of the forum index.

Nothing to see here folks, move along. ;)

That is true. They would not all be in all caps. But if you allow those who have important or urgent topics to post with all caps, everyone who thinks that their thread deserves attention would post in all caps, and that would be too many.

That would work, except it is a flawed system. That would be fixing the symptoms of a problem after it has occurred. The better solution is to prevent the whole problem before it happens, in this case by making a rule against it. According to Achronos, the moderators are supposed to be a last resort.
