^ 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

I think the date of his last visit applies to a forum visit, not a rating. I've seen this before. Anyway, this guy must be an excessive music lover if he has listened to almost a quarter of PA's entire album content and a minimum average subgenre rating of 4.77.

What do you think of this user? Nearly 16,000 ratings and like 99% of them are 5 stars Strangely the stats saw last visit 6/24/2015 yet many ratings for new albums Totally confusing Rating abuse? I doubt this user has really listened to all these given the ratings *SHELS Laurentian's Atoll(rating only) *SHELS Plains Of The Purple Buffalo(rating only) *SHELS Sea Of The Dying Dhow(rating only) *SHELS Wingsfortheirsmiles(rating only) .O.RANG Fields And Waves(rating only) .O.RANG Herd Of Instinct(rating only) .O.RANG Spoor EP(rating only) 10CC ...Meanwhile(rating only) 10CC 10cc Live in Concert(rating only) 10CC Alive(rating only) 10CC Bloody Tourists(rating only) 10CC Greatest Hits 1972- 1978(rating only) 10CC Il Grande Rock(rating only) 10CC King Biscuit Flower Hour(rating only) 10CC Live And Let Live (rating only) 10CC Mirror Mirror(rating only) 10CC The Very Best of 10cc(rating only) 14 BIS 14 Bis(rating only) 1980 1980(rating only) 2112 Alterando Las Divisiones(rating only) 2112 El Maravilloso Circo De Los Hermanos Lombardi(rating only) 2112 Glory Lies Ahead(rating only) 2112 Intro(rating only) 2112 Nuestro Mejor Fracaso(rating only) 22 You Are Creating(rating only) 25 YARD SCREAMER Blacklight(rating only) 25 YARD SCREAMER Keep Sending Signals(rating only) 25 YARD SCREAMER Natural Satellite(rating only) 25 YARD SCREAMER Nemesis(rating only) 25 YARD SCREAMER Something That Serves to Warn or Remind(rating only) 25 YARD SCREAMER Until All Are One(rating only) Edited by siLLy puPPy - April 12 2024 at 00:10 |

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

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.

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

TCOFR box set was released on June 23, and of course it features all 3 albums. Karisma records will start to release the albums one by one starting September 15th.

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

This is not rating abuse by any means BUT, it seems like @Umbilicalsyllables uses the Progarchives star rating mechanisim the same way as the YouTube likes and dislikes (1 star = 👎 ; 5 stars = 👍) and doesn't yet understand the PA rating conventions. :p This actually made me chuckle a little. xDDDD

True, such situations rub ne the wrong way. maybe it's just me. We rarely know if such ratings or early reviews are legit or something shady is happening.

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? ;)

SUMMITSeven ImpaleEclectic ProgIt already has ratings, to be released in a couple of weeks. Maybe it would be a good idea not to add albums so soon, that's an invitation for early ratings (and no one knows if it's abuse or that user has an early copy/promotion copy etc). |
