Thread title was supposed to be "NV GT240". Ended up being "Nv gt240"

 

[FoBoT]

YES IT DOES

IT ISN'T AN ISSUE

It IS A FEATURE

While there my be some casualties, (IE your example) I for one support auto lowercasing. while 1/100 may be a legitimate use, the 99/100 are idiots posting "OMG I R THE L33T YO!"

None of those threads have any conclusion.

None of the threads on the matter have come to a conclusion. It's annoying as fsck having caps only posts altered. I tried posting a License plate, of course in caps, in The Garage and got owned by the dumb filter.

All I'm asking for is a simle yes, we'll remove it, or No, we want to keep it.

 

[KeithTalent]

Pretty sure it's no, we want to keep it.

That would be my vote, if it were put up to one.

And there you have it.

What else is there to discuss?

If it really bothers you, just put something else in the title that's not uppercase. It's probably a good idea anyway, from a readability standpoint.
