Those markups should be applyable to News titels, thread subjects and PM subjects, to help fight the war against caps...

Uh, and how, exactly is letting people use bold, underline, and italics better than all caps in subjects?

Uh, I think that would only make things worse. Caps and bold, you know people would do that just so it would "stand out" from everyone elses.

Doesn't bold look better than caps? Caps looks like a bunch of sticks, o and i mean in ful text. For example,

OMFG SUXXORS!

see, looks like hell. or italics or etc would make it stand out witout the caps.

I think seeing this everywhere would be worse than just caps.

What you meant to say was:

OMFG SUXXORS!

Frankly even if it's just

omfg suxxors!, it's just as bad as the alternative. You're still giving people a means to make their topic stand out above others, a practice which 9 times out of 10 is completely unnecessary.

I know threads that start with ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ aren't the best read in the world. Unless I'm looking for "sqomgzbbq" sauce.

Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

I must admit It did appeal to me at one point in time. However, i have come to realise that it would just be missused and annoying. It's a bit like asking for colour tags to work in titles (back when there were colour tags). You see lime green titles like "OMG EVRE 1 READ THIS!" of course no one can see what the title actually says and so ignore it.
