@Mysticial - but that's fine. We could use a script to detect the annoying font style and auto downCloseVote all such questions.– Martin JamesFeb 26, 2015 at 18:20

People would use this to "scream" questions, it has been suggested and denied before. As @Mysticial said, the front page of popular sites would be flooded with
PLZ H3LP URG4NT PLLLLLZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
It would damage the content of the sites and essentially lead to harder and more moderaton... ect.

@MartinJames not really, people would figure it out and game it to prevent and go under the radar.– TravisFeb 26, 2015 at 18:23
If anything, I'd rather have code formatting in titles.
People are trying to do that quite often, failing spectacularly. I catch myself on trying to do that all the time (which is also, incidentally, the case with GitHub's issue titles).
