At my job, I recently added this "elderly filter" for our customer reviews at work. It detects if the review was (mostly) written with caps lock on, it should change it allthe review to title case.

I noticed we had a lot of messages that were written in all caps, so it would make sense to convert it to title case, since it's generally easier to read and sounds less screamy.

This seems like an obvious choice to convert it, but almost every major website I've been to doesn't convert it (like Facebook, Amazon, and most others). So would it make sense to convert itthe text or not?

Is it better to convert ALL CAPS messages to Title Case for user-submitted content?
