What's this do?
If you're like me you hate users who register with names like USERNAME. What this mini-hack does is transform all uppercase usernames upon registration to lowercase with an uppercase first letter. This "borrows" a function from the posting functions, therefore if you've got "prevent shouting" applied for posts it will also effect usernames. Preventing shouting in usernames. It will still allow all lowercase names or mixed case names to register properly.
