Rating abuse??

Logan wrote: I have deleted the Seven Impale Summit ratings, one of which was from the hugely prolific dannyb. I would rather additions not be added before, say, a day before the official release or add it on the day, and have raised those concerns before. People had concerns such as adding early helps to promote the albums and this site as well as the promo copies thing, and PA not being behind, but I did not tend to share those concerns. What we really great is if the album could be added in advance, and it could be in a list of coming to PA, and then would be scheduled to automatically be added on the day of release. But I guess I'm dreaming when it comes to this less sophisticated site. It feels silly to so often have to delete ratings, and we have done a lot of them, because albums get added early. But I guess free manpower so who cares? ;)

That would be considered abuse at RYM. At TYM I would reduce the trust rank of  the user, since it skews the averages.

The Chronicles of Father Robin release that comes out in September already has a rating.

Thinking about rating the band 20% lower for having agreed to such a twisted marketing scheme ...

You can check out their page, they have posted all of the informations about the release dates. Only thing available now is the box set, while other formats of the book 1- digital, CD and vinyl will be released on Karisma in the fall. Cheers.

This user gives entire discographies either 1 star or 5 five stars. Weird...

He joined this site on 9/30/2021 and his last visit was on the same day so he just joined, quickly rated those, then left. I will delete them.

^ It's ok to just rate one's favorite releases and not bother with mediocre albums, but I really doubt that one could listen to tens of thousands of releases to end up with that many favorites
