PA Genre Charts at Progfreak.com

Nogbad_The_Bad wrote: Having just added a band I have an issue with this, we get bands suggested by people for inclusion that are then added to PF and then assessed to see if we are going to add them to PA. Requiring an album to assessed for progginess before they can be evaluated by the team is the wrong way round. No team members have made an assessment at that stage. If you want a progginess assessment for bands then it should be a requirement for add the rating before bands can be 'Cleared' or 'Added'. Make sense?

Moshkito - this thread is about how Progfreak is used by the Progarchives genre teams to assess bands for inclusion in PA. It is therefore logical that the opinions we want to solicit on that subject are from those people on the genre teams who are actually doing the work as volunteers. I mean no disrespect. I purely want to make sure that this is a focused discussion. I also don't want any changes made to the way we use PF without it being aligned internally rather than reacting to every suggestion made.

Someone explain to us how to add links on the new PF.  Just put in the base text information & Mike will handle the links in PF. I suggest that the links are put in the genre team thread on PA so that the team members can access from there if they want to get them before Mike puts them up on PF.

Mr ProgFreak wrote: Hey, how are you doing? I've been busy re-activating the auto-tagger, and now more than 80% of all the pa artists are connected to the corresponding artist entries at pf. That means that I'll soon be able to list candidates for the pa charts, based on the progressiveness assigned by pf users (and the RYM auto-tagger), automatically filtering out artists that are already on PA. Hopefully you'll find it useful  An unrelated question: In the Prog Folk/Rock genre, would you say that most of the bands are mostly Rock with Folk influence, or the other way around? I'm wondering how to tag them, either as "Progressive Folk" or as "Progressive Folk Rock".

Please don't use the release comments to post bandcamp links - that is a LOT of work for me to clean up. If you need the bandcamp link for the artist urgently, please post it here and I will add it for you.
