I am not saying that is bad. But it is the only message which shouts a bit (at least I haven't seen others with exclamation mark in the end, all those warnings end with a dot or don't end with anything at all).

enter image description here

Please replace the exclamation mark with a dot.

    HEY, YES YOU, EXCLAMATION MARK, ARE YOU SAYING I AM STUPID OR SOMETHING!!! (+1 - A dot would be a bit friendlier)

    There is another shouting one, which is somewhat experimental; active only on Prog.SE and Math.SE as far as I know. I think a full stop would be better there, too.

    @Raff I disagree on that one. It seems entirely intentionally and consistent with the nature of all caps posts. The issue here however doesn't seems to justify an exclamation point though

  • @psubsee2003 FWIW, the first version of that warning did not have an exclamation point.

    This feature was added in Australia, where everything is extreme. An exclamation point is therefore customary.

Consistency is important. I think we can agree on that fact that this is an easy fix to make, so let's do it!

(As said before, I don't particularly care if they have other priorities and put this on the to do list for a while, although they could fix it in the same time it takes to write this down...)
