FUCK YEAH I DO!!!
Anyone agree that all caps should be disabled from forums?
Yes please.
Edit:
Actually, why not just remove the CapsLock key all together from Keyboards and Laptops.
I can honestly say that I haven't used that key for anything my entire life, not even once.
It's a waste of space!
Indeed the caps lock is something that has been abused horribly in certain places around the internet but I don't think we really need a ban on all-caps here. I don't ever see anybody in the Giant Bomb forums genuinely using it in a serious manner and all caps can be used in a sort of satirical sense for a comedic effect and that use of it is fine by me.

None of them have an IQ high enough for them to figure out how :P
" Ok, we all know why this thread popped up... *Looks across the forums at KaosAngel* YOU! "Yep, disable him from these forums.

What was the point of adding that key, anyway? I mean, it's not like it has any practical use or anything, so why add it? If anyone knows the answer, let me know.
"I am in the same boat I guess here. I have actually never really seen it to be a big problem on this forum at all.Indeed the caps lock is something that has been abused horribly in certain places around the internet but I don't think we really need a ban on all-caps here.

But CD-key thingy-programs from games usually just do it automatically (the all caps thing) when you're done writing in the CD-key.
So now, there is really no use for it
YES, I THINK THAT CAPS SHOULD BE DISABLED IN FORUMS. A LOT OF TIMES WHEN I SEE A PERSON USE IN CAPS I DON'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND IT CAN BE ANNOYING TO READ.
it feels like something that is very immature to use with every single time. the only time i think a person should use caps is when they are brevetting something. like ABC or CNN.
Whoever started the "capslock is the same as yelling and is considered rude" phenomena needs to be dragged into the street and shot three times in the leg and left to bleed to death. I prefer to write with caps on because it is easier for me to see mistakes in whatever message I am sending and correct them. I also prefer to read all caps from others, its just easier on my eyes. But sadly people have had this burned into their head that they should take offense to all capital letters since the days of dial-up. What really burns me is that all caps is looked down on, yet constant mispelling of really easy words, or even "shorthand" or "leet" styles of typing are rarely pointed out and if they are the person pointing out the grammical error is usually the one that gets flamed with the most common retort of " dude its just the internet, don't be so serious"
