This user has an [M] badge, not an FM, CM but just an "M". When you hover over it, it's just the option to click through to view all titled players - but the M is not even included in the filter or title drop downs. What is "M" - why do people have it and how does one get it?
Is it some chess.com tournament award specific to the site?

For any actual players that have it, it's basically a joke. The @coach account has it, but it's not a person.

I love practical jokes.

Please give me lifetime diamond membership as a joke via the fake M title.

Do you really think they give you that diamond membership by mistake?

I guess M title means master and maybe it's for chess arbiters(people who monitor offline tournaments) and for chess coaches
