I have just looked at this guy's ratings of the top 30 albums in the chart. He has rated 17 of them. 14 are rated 1* including CTTE, SEBTP, TAAB, Foxtrot, ITCOTCK, Moving Pictures, Red, Pawn Hearts, Larks Tongues, Octopus, Moonmadness, Second Life Syndrome, SFAJT, and Aqualung. 3 are rated 5* - all Pink Floyd. He has reviewed a number of other albums i(ncluding one album twice!) with 1*. This is not objective reviewing/rating. It makes a mockery of the site. I request that a) all his ratings should be deleted b) he should be banned from the site Thanks Tony Fisher |

I can't find any real reviews ... are these all ratings without reviews? ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

I'm sorry,am usually against mockeries here,but how can you be sure?...if it's only ratings,how can you be sure they're spam/troll/mockery messages... if it does not show a message in which guidelines are clearly broken,how can you condemn him for his rating? is it just a frustation because top albums get low ratings,or do you know for sure that he is up to no good?  -------------

OK, I'm not going to get involved in examining all the ratings without reviews, that would be a simply impossible task. I do keep an eye on them though for any clear abuse. In this case though, I think the point is fair and well made. All the 28 ratings are 1's except 3 for Pink Floyd which are 5's. A clear attempt to manipulate chart standings. I have deleted all the ratings. I would emphasise that this is very much an exception though, so please do not start any witch-hunts. The real solution is in the ratings without reviews discussion. Banning reviewers from the site is not possible at present, as you don't have to register to post a review anyway. |

An obvious attempt to bump Floyd up the charts, methinks. Well spotted. |

^ why though they already have a good amount in the top 100. i dont think he should be banned. but i agree that what he did is stupid. what a joke. if that is really his taste then he needs to grow a new pair of ears. ------------- true as a lobster in a pteredaktyl's underpants.
