I LOVE CAPS!!! I use caps....alot. It's just this impulse I have.I got a warning for it once, but now can use caps without in fear of getting frozen, YAEY!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

You people are hilarious. I swear. Especially you people saying this site is going to turn into neopets? I thought neopets was more strict- to where if you said anything even close to a curseword they would freeze or suspend you. I think you should all be grateful we get this much freedom.

I LOVE YOU!!!! -does a happy dance of glee-

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hm.

Im just going to ignore the replies of people who post long sentences in all caps.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

OMG, thank you so much! <3 I don't actually use alot of caps unless it's for a reason, and i hope thats how everyone els will use them~

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think it's nice. It shows that he trusts us. Thanks, Keith

OH, right. It didn't really effect anything. Forums were back to normal a day later.

Don't underestimate subeta users.

I hope you're right. :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love you subeta I truly do, But I hate.... All cap posts and stuff, There needs to be good balance. It teaches us good things, Oh god, I'm going to have a big block list.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

THANK YOU

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm not worried about existing users on the site making a mess, but those rules really kept all the riffraff out. Can we have some more information on what hese rules specifically apply to?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

YAY! Now I can stop worrying about my capitals

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I just don't want to see Subeta become Neopets.

I mean... seriously.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Why? Why did you do this to the forums!?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh thank god. Some of those rules could make profile editing a pain. Besides, despite the fact that I never really write in all caps, the rule seemed pretty totalitarian.

As for the worries people have, we are all used to typing decently. Sure, some people might now take this new freedom a bit far, but I think the majority of users will keep things pretty much the way they are. I've noticed that on a lot of these websites, it is the users who define the status quo. While things will probably get a bit lax, it's certainly nothing that will be extremely distressing unless you happen to be REALLY sensitive about proper English.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

No no no no no no ): I loved those rules D;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yeesh, people. Dramatic much?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love you everybody!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

For a minute I thought I was on Neopets again. Had to do a double take at the url and make sure. I rather liked the forums and comments the way they were. Oh well. D=

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Fuck.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't really care, but it does get annoying when people type something and it makes no sense whatsoever and they put it all in caps lock.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

What an awful change. Personally I liked the fact all the titles and boards looked so clean and nice.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

No more grammar. Oh Well No more CAPS ^-^!!!!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

well...honestly there will still be grammar police but I hope common sense will prevail because I despise chat speak WhEn people type like that. But whatever

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hooo boy. Hope this doesn't backfire.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I am going to tell you all now, that as a serious roleplayer and writer, the Subeta RPing forum wasn't "all that" to begin with. And really, why would it have any effect on that? I've never seen a person, even on Gaia, type a roleplaying post in all caps, or, for the majority, in caps. It doesn't effect literacy, and if you have a good roleplay, you're going to attract good roleplayers, no matter what the new rule.

I believe this lift was more intended for the Shoutbox, and the fact that many topics were locked for having "too many caps" in the title. personally, I quite like this new, er.. freedom.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Whelp, I hope people don't abuse especially since its not against the rule anymore, and hopefully before people post they think and submit something literate...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

...goodbye, Literate roleplays...this is a sad day for those who are always literate. Shame on you, Subeta - my friends Grammar and Spelling are certainly unhappy with this maneuver.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

If it really starts to be bad, you can put Code:

;border: 1px solid ; font-family: verdana; font-size: 10px;">.forum_topic_reply tr td{text-transform:lowercase;}

to transform everything in all posts to lower case :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thank goodness! I hated having to worry about the caps... xDD

WHOOOOT.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ughhh, even though I've been totally warned for doing the capitalization thing, I sort of wish you guys would have kept it. :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow I'm surprised anyone actually dislikes this..where are the rules listed anyway?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

KEITH, ILU.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

nice

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

We're all fucked.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

All, I have to say about this, is please, for the love of all that is awesome don't get rid of the rule for the RP board, that's really all. Also I think this is mostly twords titles, and stuff. So they don't have to lock bourds with 50% or more caps any more. Though I may have to blow something up.

When the heck did it become the job of the Subeta Forums to teach kids how to type properly?

When parents and teachers stopped giving a love about making sure that kids are literate.

Let me tell you sweetie, if you trust the internet to teach our kids then the world is doomed. Oh wait, it already does. It teaches girls with low self-esteem how to lose weight by either puking or starving themselves, it teaches others how to make illegal things, and so on. If you are a parent and don't monitor your kids, you are the one that pays the consequences. Don't blame the world. Get off your rear and do something!

Actually, it's not that the teachers aren't doing their jobs. I know a LOT of people who can write literally and tell you just about anything you ask for about grammar, but dey chooze 2 tipe likethisonl1ne because dey dink et es kewl.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

ok so punctuation may not be such a big deal but the CAPITALS is still like shouting and very annoying and rude. I really think that making it 'officially' ok to type like that is a bad idea. If there were a poll for such a thing I really feel people would be like me, against allowing it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thanks heaps

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think if the forums turn into a cesspool of all caps and nonsense words, Keith would have no problem re-applying the rule. But now that users have gotten accustomed to a nice, well maintained forum, that most likely wont happen. I'm glad he is lifting the rule, because of my personal beliefs of freedom, and because it most likely won't become a problem. Don't be scared!! freedom is a good thing.

Phantom. I love you. Have I said that ever? Because I do. In fact, I'll follow your example.

I''''''LL LYKE TOTOALLY TALK LYK THIS FROM NOW ON!!!!!!!!!!! AND LYK!!!! YEAH!!!! BECAUSE ALTHOUGH WE MIGHT NOT ALL BE JERKS, MANY PEOPLE WILL! HOW FUN!

We may not all do it, but it's frightening that we CAN. We CAN be jerks. It will be completely unpunished. >.< Those rules were there for a reason, and were perfectly fine. Also, as far as warnings go...

Um. You get a verbal, and then DONT DO THE SAME THING AGAIN!!! If you get a warning for all caps... DONT DO THIS!!! You should not get FROZEN for something so minor. Know the rules. Stick to them. Sad that theyre being cut back. Even sadder that users use "WE WONT GET FROZEN" as a pro in this. >>;

A lot of good people were frozen from that rule. :3 I'm glad to see that they're removing it.

i'm partial to this

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow guys what is with the complaining. People still have to be polite, I don't think some excessive caps and non-PERFECT grammar will kill you.

I'm just laughing so hard at all the people freaking about "Oh god the forums are destroys Subeta is spiraling into its own DEATH!" because just..... wow guys.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

To everyone having a shitfit--this will be just like when chatspeak and the bad word filter went into effect: it'll be CAPSLOCKCRAZY!!!!!!!!!! for a few days, and then will stop being such a big deal. Calm
