Did they really tell you that,m I would think they would be very appreciative to have a member like you. Wow, I read their forum for hours and I didn't come across anything like that. Calling someone stupid, should be pointed out. Was it a staff member?

Nobody called ME stupid but i did have to create a new account on there because of the toxicity. I used my "pirate" persona on there and got into it with some users when i pointed out some ridiculous stuff going on. It wasn't staff but the ganging up on users is pretty prevalent there. Just look at the thread about adding the year as a variable for the filename output. Such a big deal for something that is literally 3 lines of code. They obviously already parse the metadata. No matter if it's a JSON payload or a regular array object, storing the year is just instantiating the variable and storing the year in that variable.
I am not telling you anything you don't know in terms of coding so you know it is child's play to add that when they already have variables for title, season, episode, etc...
But looking at that thread and people telling him to use Filebot, which isn't even the best, is just ridiculous. The whole point is that having the year gives the scraper better accuracy. If you don't have the year, filebot will suffer the same accuracy problem when the title is ambiguous.
Anyway, all that to say that i am glad StreamFab is 1000x more receptive to Feature Requests than the other guys. They might be slow but they won't tell you an outright no or that it is the scraper's fault if it returns the wrong result as the 1st in the list
