Correct capitalisation of letters in a word shows how organised you are. Capitalisation is usually used for nouns, such as names and Clans. However, do not mistake it as a sign to capitalise everything.

For names, only capitalise the first letter. For example, Cookieshine. Not CookieShine. The latter makes you look immature in your writing, and will leave a bad impression to the readers.

For Clans, always capitalise the first letter and the 'C' in Clan. For example, ShadedClan. Not Shadedclan or shadedclan.

Capitalisation is used to show the importance of some words, notably nouns. For example, imagine you are writing a story about a prophecied cat. Then someone says "You are The One." Or would you rather it be "You are the one."

"The One" being capitalised shows that there really is one prophecied cat, and there is no one else. "the one" could simply mean the cat has jot finished his/her sentence. "You are the one... that needs to clear the elder's ticks!"

All these little details can really show that you are an organised, aware, and professional.
