see who has rated an album

   A few months ago I reviewed the excellent William Gray album entitled Living Fossils, I rated it with four stars but very soon this rating got a major blow by somebody who gave this album one star without reviewing it, this should not be allowed. Imagine I go rating without reviewing and deliberately give Iron Maiden, The Beatles, Magnum and Blue Oyster Cult one star, it would only cause a lot of annoyement and anger   so please stop the rating without review facility, I even have the idea that some frustrated progheads got the pleasure in their life out of teasing reviewers by one star ratings without a review  !

	and I guess it would avoid the temptation for less scrupulous folk to just 1 star an entire catalogue of the band they love to hate just drag the ratings down..... I am definitely with bhikkhu and Tony on this......

	You can see what an individual has rated (just click the link to an individual's page and you'll see the list of that persons ratings, including the ones without reviews). There isn't such a possibility on an album level, which like S. Dog mentioned once was available, but that was deleted because it made the page unreadable. I would like to see it back up with a little adjustement, to put those ratings behind a link, so normally it doesn't show, but when wanted it can be seen by visitors, or us, by simple clicking the link. this way the ratings without reviews would add a little more information than currently.

	You can no longer see who rated what unless they have a written review to acompany it.. I'm with bhikkhu on this one...

	I will say it once again. We shouldn't allow a rating without a review.

	Is it possible (probably I am just being thick this morning) to see who has given a rating (without review) for an album??? I have a feeling that the rating without review facility is mainly used by 1star trollers and would like to test the theory more....... I don't know if it is possible, and even if it is what can be done...... just wondering...... Fanks for your help guys!
