Spoiler: original post (Open)So this little thing has came to my notice recently...
Your message cannot contain more than 50% capital letters if it's longer than 5 characters
What.
Just what.
This is not how you manage things.
Why? A chat with caps restrictions is a lifeless chat. I could went into a half an hour long rant about that but I somehow doubt anyone will ever listen so nah.
There is also the other reason. Prohibiting free caps for yelling like a crazy dolt opens doors for fare more annoying ways of doing it. TyPiNg In ThIs GoDdAmN mAnNeR or **overflooding**the**message**with**various**characters**and**marks!!!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!111one are some of the ones that come to my mind. Theese things aren't any less annoying than all caps, while definitely less readable. In fact, I find allcaps messages to be far more readable than propercaps messages(with first letter being uppercase and everything else being lowercase).
So let's make it easy. A voting takes place. If I'll see that the majority of people prefer the caps restrictions to stay put, I will shut up and never ever bother you again. Should the opposite happen, you will return things to how they were used to be. This should be fair, right?
(I would of created a poll topic right away but I seem to be unable to actually do so. Dunno why. Maybe I'm just blind.)
WELL JESUS CHRIST
Looks like the whole fuss was about a huge misunderstandment and everything's okay now :U I am terribly sorry. By the samurai code of honor, I now must rip my chest with a katana. Brb doing exactly that.

No sweat. I almost thought I ruined everything, but it's fine now.

A video would be double the effort but much more appreciated.

You're doing it wrong.
You're not a samurai.
You've can't perform hara-kiri just by cutting your chest(which is the wrong fucking body part, by the way.) with a long-ass sword. You need a special dagger and you need someone to cut your head off.
You're not being honourable just because you're acting like a daft spastic on the internet.
This threads like these are the main problem and is hurting Zandro's image.
I'm reporting you.

Still not a katana, though iirc a few films show them running themselves through with one. Instead of trying to start drama, why don't you just

People need to shut up about "Zandronum's image" already.
Why should we care what other ports/communities think of us?

Way to derail a thread. The issue has been solved, archiving.

I thought it was about what the members of this very community thought...
