It was given out as a joke, is basically my understanding.

 

It isn't an actual title.

What is "M" other than the Fritz Lang classic movie?

It's literally free membership, not a joke to members without premium like me, very unfair and I wouldn't ever consider buying it if I realised I could get membership for free like that

Anyone who works at chess.com feel free to give me the M title as a joke too

While chess titles actually mean something to the general public, and it's usually a good idea not to devalue them, this is obviously messing around.

maybe there should be kind of a title called just "master" basically if you are a master (2200 elo) and don't have any other titles yet. also there is a guy at 100 ELO and has a master title.
