This is with regards to the latest announcement about full caps
INSTEAD OF BERATING THE MEMBERS, TRY TURNING OFF "SHOUTING" IN THREAD TITLES VIA THE ADMIN CONTROL PANEL.
Really, the full caps in titles issue should have been raised in Staff, not a full-board announcement.
Scrubs*.
*I'd say I mean that in the nicest way possible, but you probably wouldn't believe me anyways
Some threads are okay for full caps. Not many, but still some. And I'm hardly berating anyone by giving them a quick lesson in netiquette.
Your feedback is duely noted, blah blah blah. :)
PS. You still have access to Staff? =o
EDIT: To be fair, I don't actually mind 50% of full caps thread titles. It's just the unneeded ones that are less like "WAHOO!" and more like "WHERE DO I FIND THE LOCAL BREWERY I HAVE RUN OUT OF ALCOHOL AFTER MY FLATMATE DRANK IT ALL AND DIDN'T LEAVE ANY FOR ME ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT."
Don't we all?Quote:

I never noticed a problem with thread titles in all caps. And why did you mention me in the announcement? I'm going to start posting all my thread titles in all-caps from now on.
If you do I will leave forever.Quote:

Why didn't we think of this before? MORE CAPS, LESS JOEL! :D
Wow, we all got official warnings! Walking on thin ice now, miladdo... or something.
It's not hacking, it's knowing the password because you were the last one to change it.Quote:

Besides, Bleys doesn't know how to hack.
Correct. I program.
Caps are great imo. I dont have a problem with em
CAPS FOR EASE OF VIEWING
Except for the fact that caps means shouting when chatting online.
If the thread titles are bugging Daniel then its fine with me if he makes an announcement about it. I'm sure we would disable all-cap titles if it bugged more people, but I don't think it does.
So shut your pie hole.
I ENJOY CAPS
Caps are appropriate in certain situations. I can't think of one right now, but I'm sure there are some.
:D
In other words, you're too frelling lazy to do it.Quote:

This is just a suggestion right? I mean, if I started to make threads that had titles in ALL CAPS Danny will just go '-_-' right?
Yay, time for more fun
I could probably ban you to a couple of restricted groups just for the hell of it. :p
Can mods actually ban people to multiple banned groups? I've not tried that using the normal ban options, only through the main CP, so don't know :p
I'm not sure either. I'll try it on Peeg when he starts to have 'fun'. :p
No, its that I'm not bothered in the least by topics in all caps.Quote:

There're two banned groups at FFR that we can ban to, so I think so. Technically, if you want to make mods able to change members to any group, you can just make them all banned groups. (I'd leave admins as a non-banned group for obvious reasons though).Quote:

Bleys is a funny name. I sometimes say it outloud. Really loud. Like: BLEEEEEEEEYS!!! Everyone should say Bleys at least once in their life. It makes you feel all warm inside, like you'd just drank a bottle of vodka.
Drugs are bad, Yams.
