is CAPS spam?
When you type in all caps it looks like you're shouting. That may not be the image you want to get across. So many people use all caps and it's so annoying that it's now generally considered spam. All caps titles are obviously trying to get your attention, all caps posts seem like they're shouting at you, and people don't like getting shouted at.
Basically, all caps in general is just annoying. That's mainly why it's considered spam.
I hope this makes at least some sense.

IT'S NOT SPAM REALLY, JUST ANNOYING TO READ. LIKE MEGA SIAD ABOVE, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING WHEN YOU TYPE LIKE THIS.
I find it annoying too, but you got to just ignore the caps and read it.

If you find yourself typing in all caps a lot what you are typing tends to be spammy. At least this is my past experience.
Never ever ever use all caps if you want people to read and respect your post.

CAPS MIGHT BE USED TO GRAB ATTENTION. THEY ARE SPAM ONLY IF USED TOO MUCH. PEOPLE MAY FIND CAPS ANNOYING BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND USING ALL CAPS. I DON'T CONSIDER IT SPAM, IT'S JUST VERY ANNOYING.
*Cough*

If a hole sentence or title is written in CAPS, I think its spam. But if only one word is written in CAPS, I think its ok.

THIS IS WHAT I CALL BEING AWESOME AWESOME
You can see it is VERY annoying and also this actually called spam because there is no point in spelling all caps unless it is deliberate any other way is disrespect.

HOWEVER, IT IS TYPICALLY USED IN SPAM POSTS TO TAKE UP VISUAL SPACE, AND BE MORE ANNOYING. NOBODY LIKES COMING ACROSS A WALL OF CAPITALIZED TEXT, MUCH LIKE THE ONE YOU SEE HERE. ALL CAPS SPAM USUALLY CONSISTS OF RANDOM LETTERS AND NUMBERS, LIKE NORMAL SPAM.

LIKE MANY PEOPLE SAID ABOVE, CAPS MEAN SHOUTING AND THEY ARE ANNOYING. IT'S OKAY TO USE CAPS FOR HIGHLIGHTING SOME WORDS, BUT I DON'T RECOMMEND YOU USING CAPS FOR ALL WORDS.
Hope I helped… *ahem*

1. THIS IS WHAT I'D CONSIDER SPAM (Spiced Ham)
2. This is NOT what I'd consider spam.
See the difference?
2. This is NOT what I'd consider spam.
In example 1, the writer either has a broken keyboard, or no idea what spam is.
In example 2, the caps are used to emphasize a point. You could use bold, too.
See the difference?
