It's considered shouting on the internet.

Just like in real life, there are certain things that are considered rude. For instance, deliberately making farting noises in a classroom. Especially when you're graduating high school in a few months and should really grow up. That's rude.
Yelling in someone's face is also rude. You wouldn't like it if somebody yelled in your face, I bet. Typing in caps is the equivalent of yelling in a person's face.
IF I TYPED OUT MY ENTIRE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION LIKE THIS IT WOULD BE READ AS YELLING, and would be unpleasant to anybody reading it.
You can get kicked out of a restaraunt for being rude. Websites are the same way.

Because in 'internet terms' typing in all caps is consider shouting and/or yelling. So, that's not really right to do while answering a question. People may take it the wrong way and think you're screaming at them because of the question they asked. Plus, it's better to type correctly. People will take your answer more seriously, then they would if you typed in all caps, 'Or LyKe DiS'. ♥

When people type in all caps, others may take it the wrong way and think that the person is yelling. It's not very pretty to look at and it's harder to read.

Typing in all caps is the internet equivalent of shouting. Shouting is really not considered to be polite. :)

Im not really sure. Ive heard because its harder to read on the eyes. Also they ban you if you do because you are disobeying their rules and they look at it like disrespect. Hope I helped!

From the FAQ entitled 'What are some reasons that you ban people' ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)):
"We ban people for violating our content and terms of service guidelines. Common reasons include:
* Asking the same questions over and over again
* Excessively obscene questions, answers, user pictures, or bio content
* Posting multiple questions or answers without consideration
* TYPING IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS"
This is something you should know as a moderator. By asking this question, you are only convincing me further that you do not deserve mod status.
Typing in all capital letters is a bannable offense because, to be honest, it's painful to look at. It makes questions difficult to read, and is unnecessary. Making your question jarring on the eyes and difficult to read shows a lack of respect for the people who run this site and those who read and answer your question - these are people who are trying to help you, so show them some respect and make the effort to type your question properly. You are clearly cabable of doing so - I've seen your question history. Please don't type in all caps. It's something that might be ignored as a once off if you weren't a mod, but it's not behaviour we tolerate from people with responsibility. As I said in the explanation of why I banned you - you need to earn mod status by setting a good example of how to use the site, and by flouting the rules and typing in all caps you've proven that you aren't really worthy of being a moderator.
Also please be aware that you are currently banned from this site. You should not be posting questions from any account. Continue to do this and we will instigate longer bans on both accounts and any additional ones you create.
