[META] Can we stop will the overly dramatic ALL CAPS sensationalist post titles?

Seriously folks,

This whole "Pizzagate" thing could be an extremely important investigation into some supposedly wretched and inhumane practices and organizations.

When the sub starts getting filled with unnecessary overblown post titles ("THIS IS NOT A DRILL FOLKS!!!", "I FOUND A SMOKING GUN!!!", etc.) it discredits the hard work that other people are doing here. Especially now that the sub has leaked into /r/all, those kind of posts just add fuel to those who think this sub is a bunch of conspiracy nutjobs and bored alt-right teenages, and diminishes the legitimacy of some of the findings here.

Subtlety is a powerful weapon.

Already too many people are going overboard with things here and sooner or later those implicated in the conspiracy are going to catch on and evaporate whatever clues are out there (see: the changing of the Besta Pizza logo).

Head in the game folks, or you're gonna lose this one.

This is seriously the fastest way to lose whatever shred of credibility we might have.

Most smoking guns aren't even smoking guns.
