Reviews discussion

Well excuse me for not taking the word of one who creates multiple accounts just to vote against an album, I'll wait til I have a litle more proof, before I sound the horns of war ;) .

Well this site was primarily responsible for saving me from top 40 radio, so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and I think you should to, rather than making broad sweeping claims about stuff you can't prove. In the future, if you're wanting to prove something that was said, take a screenshot of it. It will at least lend you a little credibility.

Oh so you know the future now do you; fine, we'll see if M@x is really the evil dark boogeyman waiting in the shadows waiting to prey on poor little innocent reviews. I suppose he also works for Halliburton and George Bush is somehow making money off of this. 

You'll have to forgive me for taking all your claims with a very large pinch of salt, given your behaviour on the forums I suspect that you're just a troll out to cause others a bit of grief, if you've got real issues with the site and the way it's run don't bitch about it on the forum instead send the admins a private message or e-mail detailing the issues and suggesting ways that the site could be improved. Constructive criticism will always be more effective than simply spamming under several different usernames.

Ah ok, I knew there had to be some explanation. I knew M@x wasn't a baby-eating ogre.
Still this doesn't seem like good publicity for TM. Oh well, it's their dime right?

Guys,

I understand your comments about deleting reviews for an independant artist in the prog genre that wants exposure on our site. I feel the same way, but since it was a special request of the artist and our first FEATURED INDEPENDANT ARTIST, I accepted but let him know the negative impact it may have. It's his decision now.

By removing negative bad written reviews we let the artist have a fresh start and allow new listeners to make their own opinions and share them through the site.

So , as collaborators of the site , I would like to ask you a special request, please download freely the TORMAN MAXT album, post a constructive review and give PA the chance to have others FEATURED ARTIST by treating this manner smoothly.

Thanks

Prog On

^  well, I have decided to deliberately neither download nor review the album. 

I don't think it's that unfortunate. Even in the post above M@x is asking collabs to post positive reviews because the band is paying him money. Things like that can *kill* a reviewing website, and I think that collabs should be extremely opposed to such practices. They simply damage the reputation of the website, and any review - no matter if it's positive or negative - loses credibility because of them. To be honest, after such an incident I wouldn't  know how to listen to (or review) the album without bias.

Mike, I never asked to write reviews and forcing them to be positive. I know what your thinking and please understand that I do the same. I never and never will asked for "bias" reviews. I asked for constructive reviews, not like the one we had to delete. It's an invitation , not a forced suggestion !

Very well said Bob !
