Subject: A Question about All CAP LOCKED Thread Titles.

Hello, I'm Mr AwesomePizza. I like pizza and I'm a man. Reasoning for the name. I like to listen to the classics of music, write poetry, play video games, and much much more. I'm always down for a nice chat, so please hit me up for some conversation.

According to what counts as Spam, all cap usage is prohibited. This is fair and understandable considering that all CAPS titles are usually just a cheap way to get attention. But, what if we were discussing the ISS? That is in all CAPS, but it is also an abbreviation for the International Space Station. And what if I were just to put US, UK, NK, SK or another abbreviation for a country? Would that fall under that guideline of being spam?

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

If you use SLIGHT CAPS LOCK you are fine but this:

OMG ALL CAPS LOCK IN THE THREAD, LOOK HERE

^
That is spam.

Obviously they're not going to lock your thread for using acronyms.

Why don't you PM Recon or someone when you have questions about the rules? :P

They most of the time ignore my messages or never reply. So I took it upon myself to ask the community for details on rules.

Normally mods reply pretty quickly to PMs but yes, just don't overdue THE LOCK and you should be fine.

  • gamertag: [none]
  • user homepage:

Moderators are able to use their discretion when enforcing the rules, that said they're obviously not going to ban you for capitalizing an acronym.
