First, we have rules on title capitalization. Not every word is supposed to be capitalized (preposition, definite and indefinite articles, for example, would always be lowercased, unless they are the first or last word of the title). Because this site carries a literary standard, we also adhere to rules of proper English. One of the rules of proper English is that YOU MUST CAPITALIZED YOUR TITLES CORRECTLY. At least for stories. Some things, like articles on Wikipedia or in the newspaper (like anyone reads the newspaper anymore) are all lowercased except where it would be necessary to capitalize them (e.g. proper nouns).
