this statement is beyond me.

I've been working on this subgenre since 2004 and the opening of the website. I don't play in solo but I will nominate one collaborator if needed. About the musical directions, they are well estabished in the subgenre definition. I've recently noticed that a handful of new reviewers want to subvert things

I don't think anyone is trying to subvert the team, I think Rob is just saying that perhaps a two- or three-member team would be better for the "democratic" nature of which a team (in my opinion, at least) should run. Not saying that you're not doing a bad job at all, just that, for example, perhaps a rejected band would be more easily defended if one were to say the "team" rejected it, rather than that one person rejected it.
My two cents.

They are all down to Post Christmas Shopping Traumatic Disorder. A type of disorder that hits all men very hard at this time of the year. I was in a shopping mall earlier today and needed extensive loving care after that experience. Not at least from seeing money leaving my pocket and being collected in shopping tills. Very traumatic.

I still do not understand the prog value of this.


your declaration is pure no sense. Arguments please....

First of all they are officialy signed. Secondly I was asked to add them by their label which is obviously electronic orientated and largely devoted to "minimal-synth" (you should go back to some classics related to the genesis and history of the genre before to advance things)....but well I will delete the add...I don't care at all finally.

About Vompatti : I've already explained my views. I won't go back on my decision, whatever the pressure

Well that's one fine example of team work.



And where did you explain your views? In the collab zone?



I usually take the time for each evaluation, I generally give a positive vote based on the suggestions.  I refuse that project Vompatti based on substantial arguments....yes, the collab zone, this is the right place for it.

that sounds correct. Anyway I won't create a huge team only to give an evaluation on this Vompatti issue you know....

Ricochet was part of the team time before. He left the team based on a voluntary basis...we did a great work and frankly I don't have an attitude which is to refuse any contribution....At this moment I just don't see who can be part of the team based on solid knowledges regarding this genre. I will try to think about it, maybe one or two collaborators names can rise.

Moreover I've noticed that one or two teams include several members with only one of them who is seriously active...

Access to the CZ has nothing to do with it. I've an eleven page Censoreding Blog on the subject that you are free to ignore without having to go anywhere near the CZ.

If you mention me by name and then state that "least him are against unsigned acts." then I'm fully justified in ripping you a new a-hole regardless of any warnings about possible misinterpretation.
 
Tell you what Marco - you find this post of mine you are referring to and then we'll continue this conversation, because if you were too lazy to find it last night and apparently you're still too lazy to find it now, then I'm arsed if I'm going to find it for you. Okay?

That is fair enough. I actually tried searching for it a while after my post but this site's search engine isn't helping.

Anyway, we need to recruit some newer Collabs for "One Specialist"Teams, don't we?

However the Genre team wants to be frank, this isn't that much of an autocracy and isn't that much of a democracy either and we don't account for every eventuality and possibility. Personally, I would treat them as free-download.
What?

Why don't you invite Colorofmoney91 to the Team? He surely understand about Electronic Prog music, and have a blog about the topic here on PA.
