Please stop bullying in the future, even when its called moderation.
If I was bullying, I should be kicked out from the moderator team. |

Filenames in disks/tapes are always all uppercase, that's why a casing convention is used, else we only have shouted all caps database entries, you damn silly bitches. |

I know, but you can either check changelog or use mr. sherlock skills on this thread who changed the aka field in the first place.
But this is enough on this, really. |

You can even use case change character on filename, also change colours and use upper and lowercase characters on filename.
Please say I just missed your joke on the subject. |

Fixing entries it's not "bullying", it's "doing his job".
Stop bitching, last warning. |

Why do we have moderators at all? Probably to keep away stuff like sexual harassment, racism and political extremism. It's very good if you do that, but stay there! Don't pretend to be a spell-checker or anything else, and don't ever think that you know better than anyone else! You are also just a human even if you call yourself "moderator".
Changing the title for better search is nonsense, upgrade the damn search engine.. I think the least you can expect from any nerd-db is that you're free to set your own title of what you provide, avoiding what i said a few lines up.. We don't need more big brothers. |

The title case converter does not change the first letter of eBay or iTunes.
Explanation: eBay is capitalized in a nonstandard way because it is a brand name, company name or acronym.
Solution: register the mothers creation as a brand, company name or acronym. |

Last warning, about what?

lol! This thread is a prime example on how moderators should not moderate.
- Making up rules that are nowhere to be found on csdb.
- Falsely claiming this public website is private.
- Using hyperbole "for content creators to do as they wish with the database".
- Not responding to genuine on-topic comments (by Mixer, Mr.Ammo, Shine, HCL)
- Threatening content creators and using profanity: "Stop bitching, last warning." and "you damn silly bitches"
- Claiming a filename is the same as a title.
- Locking entries because... what?
Now, the proper response should have been:
"Sorry grue, we have silently applied a naming convention for release titles in this database, which was done to make the entries look better and to improve find-ability when people use our search.
Would you mind leaving the title to what we changed it to and use the AKA field instead?"
It would've given you the same result you got now, but without the hassle and aggression coming from all involved moderators.
I appreciate all the slave-labor the moderators put in, but please, let someone with a clue handle the public relations part. |

I hope you are being facetious there, because this is utter nonsense.
I would say that it is the authors right to call their stuff anyway they please, that is the name of the entry.
Grue could have called it "M-OTH-er''''s creatiooon" or something like that, and it still should not be changed.
And indeed, making the search engine better, maybe by being more lenient, and just not caring about non a-z and 0-9 stuff at all, and maybe also treating repeated letters numbers as one thing.
But just willy nilly changing the names of stuff, when you could instead ask the people who made the prod, is pretty silly. |
