^ 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.

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

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

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.

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?
