mods are simply keeping order, fixing badly created entries _every_day_ by _every_one_
You can't blame us if we blindly apply simple rules every time we see wrong entries.
To be fair, the title should be even Mother's Creation. Nobody knows if you spelled it wrongly intentionally or not. |

No, name of the entry is Mothers creation, nothing more, nothing less.
Creation means something more than just creation. What comes into correctness, I think I can as creating artist decide what is wrong and what not, in the end its the name.
So, in the future to prevent vandalism, how I can tell mods that name is as it should be and not to be "corrected".
I tried to lock entry to prevent change, but it didn't help. |

No, here at CSDb we use "Title Case" for named entries in the database.

Ok, nice. Automatic failure :D
So, nothing can be done about that. I think next time my entry will be something like "aUTOMATIC fAILURE"
anyway, thanks for the info. |

This is not homever ok that you locked the entry and now I cannot put correct name into aka field which should be Mothers creation, not something made up like its currently :D
Now I can understand way better why mods get so much anger from content creators. |

CSDb has applied "title case" to entries for many many years now, with moderators (and trusted users) silently updating entries when discovered.
Furthermore, CSDb is a private database of releases that is governed by rules, it isn't a personal download site for content creators to do as they wish with the database. Entries aren't owned by content creators and allowing everyone to have their own custom stylizations in an entry would be a disaster.
As for your example of "aUTOMATIC fAILURE"; that would be changed to Automatic Failure as the rules for "title case" are flexible and allow for some variance. |

And now you're just a-holes as entry is locked and I cannot correct aka field to present correct name. |

Go ahead and edit - aka as you like.
Being the a-holes we are we surely will check back on it. |

This is philosophically interesting issue.
Has to do with authors rights, and do we extend same courtesy to commercial companies as to individuals.
This is also language issue. In Finnish language for instance, only the first letter of the first word in the title is to capitalized, and that is a rule. Capitalization of any word elsewhere in the text except the first of sentence also changes the semantics of the word.
In English the rules seem to be complicated, some stuff can be capitalized and other stuff not, and many publications seem to see this as a style issue, not language issue.
Application of those style rules seems to be what really is going on here. |

There's no politically correct term for 'fucking idiot'. |
