Default Not Allowed to Have Capitalised Acronyms?

Saw a post about this the other day by someone and just experienced it myself.

Tried to post 'VCR' and it automatically changes it to 'Vcr'?

Could have been around for ages but I've only just noticed. Is there a reason for this?

Edit: and yet strangely enough it will allow me to to do it here

OK, seems to be when it is the first word in the post? (will see if OK stays capitalised on this post....)

Ever seen the 'Word Association' thread in 'The Bar'? Tried to post the term VCR by itself, but wouldn't let the CR part stay in capitals.

The above 'talking to myself' posts were to demonstrate what I meant. It is hard to describe!

I know what a vcr is I meant looped playing coz you kept repeating

I think that if you put a ! or a . after it it does it when VCR is at the beginning
