Default SHOULD THE REGULAR POSTERS OF THIS GROUP MOVE?

Would the new group allow posting in all caps?


Aw, ya picky bas*ard.

A decent moderator (there are some) will keep an eye on such "infractions"
and, if the practice becomes excessive and/or regular, mention it, either
publicly or privately, to the "offender".

The same moderator would sooner chastise YOU for your reply: Doing their job.

Then there's the timeless, top-posting versus bottom-posting debate.
Depending on the moderator, this could be addressed.

What would be HIGH on an old-timer (experienced) moderator's "list" would be
quoting, either the lack of it (unlikely) or EXCESSIVE quoting.

Bandwidth for these text forums being virtually limitless these days,
excessive quoting isn't the issue it once was when private citizens PAID real
ca$h to move words at 1200 baud via long distance dialup.

Still, two and three pages of multi-generational quotes, only to add a line or
two of original text, is the hallmark of an incredibly LAZY poster.

A moderated forum is a whole, different animal.
