Well, and that's the thing. There aren't any specific guidelines for "how many" exclamation points are too many, or caps words. I don't know where the mods I'm talking about think they're getting their numbers from. It seems more like it's a pet peeve for them that they're making out to be rules (ie, someone finds allcaps really, really annoying for whatever reason and makes out any small instance of it to be a rule violation because of this personal annoyance).

By the way, for clarity, while I'm not a staff member here, I'm an admin over on Spinpasta; I'm the one who wrote the version of the chat rules that carried over here when chat came back up. I don't know how much they've changed since then.
