I think the existing "Send Comments to" link is more then ok. ...
Agreed.
In the end, the thumbs thing ends up getting us spam as you mention, and sometimes ... 1234565442 thumbs down and 3 thumbs up ... does that mean we should remove it from PA?

Bull pucky ...
Ep ... it should say ... I registered with this site and read about Rush and am qualified to discuss KC after a few beers and Kiss after a few vodkas (that's what they called girls then!) ... and I find your review as revolting as ....

It seems it was not discussed yet. I saw such feature in other forums.
Many of us write reviews, but in most cases we don't know are they helpful for site visitors or no. There are only options "Send comments" and "Report this review".
I would prefer that we concentrated on cleaning up what is considered a "review" on the stuff that we have, since a lot of the things attached to many albums are NOT a review and should not be there at all.
In general, if any of us has something to say about a review, we will send something to the reviewer anyway, so I imagine that a link for this or that is not necessary and might in the end, just flood the board with un-necessary stuff, specially if someone is going to object to something, and the Admins can not see what is going on underneath it. In this case keeping it above board would be better and more visible than a bunch of slurs and private insults.
Best keep things above board and in the open.
I have made many suggestions, none of which have ever been even discussed in good faith ... so I am not sure that it matters what we say here.
I would have liked, and would devote a bit more time to it is need be, instead of World of Warcraft, but I doubt that many of the folks here want an old fart like me, and I gave up looking for that one blonde some 40 years ago ... she wasn't worth the price of admission!

How 'bout two buttons:
Very nice.
And the reviewer can have a button like in reply .
Good one Snowy!!!
I laughed there too Snow Dog
In all serious this is a great idea - just a green button indicating - 'i read the review and enjoyed it'. No negative options please as you could get inundated by them and thats not helpful.

let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword

I really wish Facebook had a dislike button.
But I'm a loon.
Gosh, so do I.
The lack of "dislike" on facebook makes one have to decide if somthing is disliked enough to write out a witty trolling comment rather than simply mark it as bad. Besides if it gets too bad you always can unfriend

^yes.
Lets not turn the intention of the OP on its ear. If there is one thing the site/forum/members could use is an infusion of positivity. Many of the responses in this thread are further evidence of that.

From my experience as a reviewer, there should be a button that generates an automatic PM along the lines of:
"I registered with this site just to tell you how retarded you are. It's unbelievable that you are a five star member of this site, because you're a disgrace. I hope you go deaf because you obviously can't appreciate good music. Bye."
At least that would save some people the effort.
As usual....Mr Skeletor is spot on......do you mind if I copy/paste your comment in future PMs?...of course I will pay you a royalty for each usage of say US$14million per post.

Do you think many do it too?
For example, I only send comments when I see something wrong.
Well...just like a "review" its only my opinion if I think someone did a good job.....I really don't care if others see if I think a reviewer did a good job...Its between the reviewer and I.
To me that is more genuine appreciation.
If I fail at sending a PM its probably because I immediately went out looking for the album I just read a review on...which is a good thing.
