Question on rule #7 on message board regs

reroll · 03-16-2006, 04:12 PM

I originally glossed over the NLOC message board regulations the first time, but I just reread them again. Through the search function, finally, I found out what a troll is, but what is the deal w/ rule #7.....no "elite" style or all caps writing? I believe I have seen **** be used in place of curse words and I think I saw all caps somewhere unless I am mistaken. I ask now before I become a statistic.

It would take extra time to do that, wouldn't it? Is it uniformity that is trying to be accomplished?

back in the early aol days there where programs that would spell them out like that and you would just type normal. there are probably still out there but I don't know of anyone doing that or even using aol for that matter.

I think they just want to site to maintain a professional looking and be easy to search and read.

T|-|iz iZ @!z0 31337. It's just slang that's used to provide messages to "like" people, and to keep others who are not 1337 from reading it. Though I Think This Type Of Talking Should Be Banned Too

All caps is considered to be Yelling/Screaming at some one.

It's considered yelling for the most part.

And it's harder for the human mind to read and comprehend. In lower case, our mind can take the entire word as a single item and process it, in upper case it has to do it letter by letter.
