I'd hate how it looks, but the easiest solution would be to use ALL CAPS for titles. At least it's a simple rule, it doesn't matter which country you are from and how good your english is.

I think the simplest approach is to let Ken apply a filter to whatever we contribute.

I'm glad that general rules of English have been thrown out the window.

It's hilarious and another major step back for Profiler.

Off to lock even more shiitake mushroome that shouldn't need fecking locked.


English (Scottish).  Wish I could post the same sort of thing in English (English).  It's just not fair! 
Do you ever find yourself striving for perfection with an almost worthless attempt at it?  Guttermouth "Lemon Water".  Also, I include in my Profiler database VHS tapes, audio DVDs, audio books (digital, cassette and CD), video games (digital, DVD and CD) and 'enhanced' CDs with video tracks on them, as well as films and TV I've bought digitally.  So I'm an anarchist, deal with it.  Just be thankful I don't include most of my records and CDs etc in it too; don't think I haven't been tempted...

No thanks, I'd rather have capitalisation of the first letter of every word. So The Lord of the Rings would become The Lord Of The Rings.

Now waiting for the 'discussion' about changing "Carry On Up The Khyber" and "Carry On Up The Jungle" to "Carry on up the Khyber" and "Carry on up the Jungle"

I can see myself having to lock all the Carry On movie titles if the Rules are spplied strictly as written  TBH
It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong

I've been voting no on changes to with to With and a couple of others.

I can't bring myself to vote yes to such stupidity.

"With" was there, as part of the list of words not to capitalize, right from the moment that the new rules were first published. "From" was added to that list shortly after that. But yes, the current Capitalization Tool now capitalizes both of them.

A "neutral" vote would prevent you from violating the voting rules.
