    Do you mean to indicate yelling? It's used commonly on the internet, but I am afraid it's not correct: if you want to indicate an exclamation, you should use an exclamation mark. Capitalizing an entire sentence or using multiple exclamation marks (another common error) is overkill as well as bad style. However, I doubt people will notice this if you do it on an internet forum .
