LeMoog Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) What is the deal with this? If DE dont want people using capital letters in chat why don't they spend 5 minutes adding lowercase() function to the text input. Personally I find this obsessive aversion to caps and the suggestion caps=shouting as being on a par with Synesthesia. Seriously those without a mental condition are not offended by upper/lowercase but clearly someone with power to censor the chat in WF threads does. I use capslock for crouch ingame simply because my hands are man sized, this means my text changes case randomly depending upon when I start typing. Being censored and kicked from chat because some mentalcases seeing big letters as threatening is punishing normal people for not being insane. For anybody who feels uncomfortable with caps then can I suggest this may indicate an underlying mental problem that if not dealt with may impact on your social life, seek medical advice now and maybe you won't spend your life wondering why you don't fit in.

pokeyoface Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) You could just look at what you type, and fix it if it's uppercase. Ninja'd glory be to -Pixi- for saying what I thought before I could type it in. Edited August 15, 2015 by pokeyoface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kthal Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 It's nothing to do with upper case being threatening, it's because it fills the chat, is plain annoying, and is basically spam: IT'S NOTHING TO DO WITH UPPER CASE BEING THREATENING, IT'S BECAUSE IT FILLS THE CHAT, IS PLAIN ANNOYING, AND IS BASICALLY SPAM.

Typing the same thing twice would indeed be spam and the chat already filters this, being annoyed because the text is in uppercase is the abnormal behavior I am referring to.

Time is a factor? In posting a wts or wtb ad? Why? I guess I don't see the need to post in trading chat so fast that I can't even look at what I'm typing...

LeMoog Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Easier fix...don't type in all caps. Why? before the change I would occasionally type in all caps but as I said it would be because I touchtype, ingame chat where I am having to format the text because some people have a problem means I am not able to play. I installed this game to shoot/slashing AI not improve my ingame typing ability, I do not have a problem so why should I be punished because others do.

I still agree that one can always check if they have caps on or off before they type. I guess people's habits die hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)Shodian Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I do not have a problem so why should I be punished because others do. Because it's DE's game and you have to follow their rules. It takes two seconds to check if your cap locks is on. If that's too much for you then I don't know what to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there shouldn't be a problem avoiding chat altogether? I see no reason for you to fuss about the game when you are most certainly here only for shooting and slashing AI. You are having a case of what's called 'first world problems', friend. You need to slow down a bit and check your keyboard every time you want to chat. Or bind crouch to another key that's near that caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn English. His post clearly indicates that he is annoyed that text in Caps takes more space, making it look like a spam, Not how readable it is.
