    I've seen quite a few reports of people abusing the "caps protection" thing... what is it?

    It allows you to have a certain amount of caps in your sentence, so people just add"caps protection" so their sentence would still be in caps. Instead of all lowercase.

    (Adding on to @Kick_In_Ass_'s post)

    It's very abusive, and should be reported at once

    Adding on to this xD It is actually against the rules, people that use it get warned for spam.

    let me give an example
    USEALLY WHEN YOU TYPE THIS ON THE SERVER CHAT IT MAKES IS LOWERCASE
    however
    YOU CAN TYPE LIKE THIS ON SERVER CHAT THEN PUT (caps protection) ]
    so the filter does not auto lowercase it

    NO NO NO NO NO.

    This is how we handle caps protect:

    1) Person uses caps protect
    2) We VERBALLY warn them to not use caps protect (so, in msg we would tell them "Don't use caps protect it's against the rules")
    3) They do it again
    4) We warn them for spamming (with /warn)

    You can report them ONLY IF you've told them in msg not to use caps protect and AFTER THAT they do it again. This means that when you report them that you have to show that you messaged them and that they did it again AFTER you sent the said msg.

    Actually I didn't even know it's against the rules to use caps protection but I've seen people done it many time. I didn't do it myself because I was also confused about it. Are you allowed to use it even if it's not spam?
