Well-known member tag

[Trankery]

Hello "MC-Market".

I've recently been added to the "Well-Known Member" tag.
I find it very unprofessional from you to make such a
spelling mistake, in such an easy word.

Please change it from "Well-Known Member"
to "Well-known Member".

Thank you for your understanding.

literally no one gives a shit. MCM isn't even a professional site, it's filled with kids.

It’s always strange to me when people attempt to say that something is obviously wrong, when they’re the ones who are incorrect.

The Chicago Manual of Style 17th edition (latest). Regarding hyphenated compounds in a title:

1. Always capitalize the first element.
2. Capitalize any subsequent elements unless they are articles, prepositions, coordinating conjunctions (and, but, for, or, nor), or such modifiers as flat or sharp following musical key symbols.
3. If the first element is merely a prefix or combining form that could not stand by itself as a word (anti, pre, etc.), do not capitalize the second element unless it is a proper noun or proper adjective.
4. Capitalize the second element in a hyphenated spelled-out number (twenty-one or twenty-first, etc.) or hyphenated simple fractions (two-thirds in two-thirds majority).

Microsoft Manual of Style as well as the The Gregg Reference Manual conform with Chicago, but with these exceptions:

• Chicago capitalizes no prepositions of any length except when "they are used adverbially or adjectivally" or when "they compose part of a Latin expression used adjectivally or adverbially." Microsoft capitalizes prepositions that are five or more letters. Gregg capitalizes prepositions (and conjunctions) of four or more letters.
• Microsoft and Gregg do not follow Rule 3 above. They would both capitalize all words in Anti-Intellectual Pursuits.
• Microsoft and Gregg would capitalize flat and sharp if they appeared in a title (unlike Rule 2).

Beyond that, all three capitalize the first and last word of a title.

The word “known” is an adjective. The word “well”, as used in this context, is an adjective.
By all standards, the entire title would always be capitalized.

You are suggesting that we incorrectly capitalize our title, while providing absolutely no evidence for why you personally believe it to be incorrect, other than to brazenly claim that it’s “such an easy word” and accusing MCM of being “unprofessional” in its spelling.
I’d recommend checking your sources next time you plan on making accusations like this on a public forum.

This is the most Justis-like response to a suggestion I've ever seen.

I'll move this to the bug report archives, thanks.
