Is there a hack, that will not allow users to post in all caps?

as you know posting in all caps is rather rude. So i was wondering, is there a hack out there that will automatically edit a users post if it's in all caps? that way a mod or admin doesn't have to continue to edit post every time it happens.

Or is there a way I can set the forum (all forums and sub forums) to not allow all caps at all.

Thanks.

edit newreply.php and newthread.php, find:

PHP Code:


		
			
 $message=trim($message);

  if ($message=="") {

    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_nosubject")."\");");

    exit;

  }

After that add:

PHP Code:


		
			
  if ($message==strtoupper($message)) {

    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_noallcaps")."\");");

    exit;

  }

Create a new template named "error_noallcaps" and give your warning.

Notices:
1- This will give your users the error if their post does not contain any letters. Examples:
: )
11
****
etc.
2- Even if one letter is in lowercase, error will not be displayed. So this can be posted:

wHO SAYS I CANT POST IN ALL CAPS!!!!!

while this will produce the error:

WHO SAYS I CANT POST IN ALL CAPS!!!!!

3- If posts includes bbcode and if that code is in lowercase, error will not be displayed
