WHY ARE THREADS' HEADINGS BEING CAPITALIZED?

No need to explain TerriBull. It's only one person's opinion.

I don't think it's rude, Terri. Please don't let it bother you.
It might be rude, if a whole post was in capitals, but not a heading. When I see a heading in capitals, I just assume it is a literary device used for emphasis and to attract attention, which I think you were trying to do.

I’ve never noticed any in capitals.

Thanks Bluebell that was my intention. When we were winding up the '23 book thread, quite a few people said they were looking forward to the new one; which I fired off quite early New Year's Day and then I wondered whether some might miss it, which is why I gave the title some emphasis, probably unnecessary. I can see that the caps do look a bit ugly, maybe I should get it changed

Oh dear me. Much ado about nothing. If someone wants to shout let them. Is it all quiet and nicey nicey in everyday life. Perhaps that caps lock is stuck!!!!! ☺

Many of the games have headings in capitals. Hide them if it bothers you.

I only see 2 and one with the first word capitalised one of those is this one. 🤷🏼‍♀️

On my feed there are six other threads where the subject is capitalized, at one stage they were all bunched together. Very ugly.

Well just scrolled through the news feed and apart from this one I can only see yours Terribull and as it not about a controversial subject it’s obviously made for attention and not shouting
So personally I think you sassysayso have increased the problem you are worried about by a third 😂so a little bit back firing

Apparently, it is considered rude to use capitals. It is seen as the equivalent of shouting.

I started the book one with caps, merely for emphasis and to draw attention to it for those who had expressed an interest in partaking in this thread. I don't see titles in caps as rude, although random caps in a post, depending on context, could be deemed as rude and shouting.
