Black Six Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 As I'm sure most of you are aware, BZPower has long had a setting enabled that removes excess capital letters in topic titles. For instance, 'BZPower Rules & Guidelines' would become 'Bzpower Rules & Guidelines.'Recently, members have taken to using nonstandard characters in their titles to get around this. While technically this is not against the rules, it can be inconvenient at times, especially when trying to search for a certain topic title.To that end, we have decided to remove the setting that changes the capitals to lowercase.Please note, that if this gets abused we will enable it again. While it's fine to post acronyms in capitals as they should be, people should not be posting topic titles in all caps.Thanks for your understanding.-The Administration Quote Bio of a BZP Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Sounds good to me - it always drove me a little nuts seeing titles get converted to the first-letter-always-capitalized format.

Ektris Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I think this is a great move. It was something that had been mildly annoying me as well.~|ET|~ Quote E-T... Phone home. "He walks among us, but he is not one of us." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mare Tranquillitatis Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Well, this sounds good to me. It's been annoying sometimes. Let's hope no one abuses it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Smoke Monster Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 This really didn't bother me too much, since I don't make new topics that often. But I still think this is a great idea and I support it. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Ballom Nom Nom Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm pleased with this change, as on my computers only a fraction of those nonstandard characters would display properly, so I was seeing a lot of boxes appearing in titles anyway. Won't have to deal with that anymore.Oh, and does this change also remove the auto-capitalization of each word, or is that still there?~B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuparu1995 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yeah. Being the grammar and punctuation freak that I am. :lol:But, yeah, searching for a particular topic did get toilsome that way.

Enzee Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 It was never a really huge issue for me, but it was very annoying. I sort of got used to it, so it isn't an issue for me anymore. It's actually a shame that the policy was changed, as it only happened because people were abusing the system. Quote Starting a new comic series soon.
