Way back in the day BZPower had some sort of restriction that prevented all-caps topic titles. These days you can do that to (hopefully) make your topic stand out. But does it really help? Or does it make you look like an overly dramatic attention-seeking noob?

 

Time to find out. Vote away!

They're totally fine in small doses, although—since they grab my attention—I prefer their use limited to things like birthday topics.
 
The old restriction was bad in many ways; it capitalized things you didn't want capitalized and decapitalized any word you wanted all-caps. The Blogs had the same limitation, and using special characters to get quasi-all caps entry titles was rampant enough for my old Caps Hax Library to be one of the more popular entries.
 
Using special characters messes with the search feature, which is partially why they've long been banned in display names.

Sorry, had to complete it.

 

 

 

Anyway, I don't particularly care about whether or not people do all caps titles. Posts however, they're annoying to read. Especially when they're just a block of text.

I am fine with caps being in topic titles. Just like a lot of things, this sort of thing depends on self moderation rather then an automatic blanket-for-all system.

 

However, I find all caps to be a bit annoying, so I am less likely to look at a topic that has it (I only looked at this topic because it had the word 'poll' in it).

I dont like them, but think they should be used for only BZP staff topics or the sort.

I bet that those of you who don't like ALL CAPS would not be able to survive through loud noises (#SonicsSucks) and if you do survive I'll give you a picture of a cookie. (no offense)

 

 

 

 

The sound of the creation of the universe is a good one.

First off,  you are right about me not liking loud noises. I would turn down the volume to my liking and enable subtitles in movie theaters if I could.

 

Second, as there probably wasn't that much oxygen at the point of creation, I am certain that you wouldn't be able to hear it, unless of course you are describing the Ainulindalë from The Silmarillion. :P

I'm inclined to agree - they're fine in moderation, and definitely more eye-catching, but have a lot of potential to be abused and just wind up being plain annoying.
