I've actually suggested that to M@X Mike. Ratings without reviews does remain an issue. I'm hopeful that something will be done about them reasonably soon. Maybe not a complete removal of them, but perhaps something which diminishes their impact.

^ another approach would be not to count these ratings.  Seriously, this could work - tell people that they don't need to write something in order to voice their opinion - it will be listed on the album page. But if they want their rating to be used for calculating statistics, they'll have to provide a little more than an username and a number.

*jumps in the discussion*

I think the right thing to do is letting only regisered users vote and/or review. I do think that ratings without review should be removed, but allowwing only registered users to vote the numbers of trolls would probably fall considerably. Of course, doing this may affect the popularity of the site, but it'd for the best, wouldn't it?
Take my word for it.

Of course we would have to remove all those ratings.

Either remove *ALL THE RATINGS* without reviews or do nothing and cope with the idea that people have a right to dislike music as much as you have a right to enjoy it.

1 stars Rating by Ricky @ 10:42:33 AM EST, 12/28/2005

1 stars Rating by exorcist @ 10:50:12 AM EST, 12/28/2005

I know that with records like CTTE and Darkside there will be trolls that vote 1 star but those albums allready have alot of positive feedback. Now Mandylion has 9 ratings so those two 1 stars really lower the rating of the album. Mandylion is one album i really think deserve a 5 star rating, and i would really like to know the reason behind those two ratings. If they have a reason behind giving it 1 star i can understand but now those ratings just anoy me.

I think that ratings without reviews should be removed!!
 

 they have to be removed.

I would say they have a greater tendancy to be either a 1 or a 5 star rating without a review...
