One should stop and think about this, bad written reviews reflect just as bad on the site, a band or other reviewers. I am NOT debating the positive or negative REVIEWS/VIEWS about an album or artist here peeps. It's the content and credibility of the review.

If you genuinely consider yourself a reviewer - or at the very least work as one, then you should also be able to voice your opinion when the album in question is poor. There are however many ways of doing so, and some people step over the line. That is why we have the report button (NOT because one's new fave album received a 1 star review  ).
Some of my favourite reviews are 1 and 2 star write ups. Hell, I still go back and read Bob's (ClemofNazareth) old Triumph reviews

My thoughts exactly . One can write a negative review of an album without disrespecting the artist(s) involved. I have been thanked by musicians after writing a less than stellar assessment of their music, because they could tell I had listened to the album thoroughly before starting to write (something that not everyone bothers to do, especially on bigger-name publications). Obviously, there are people who will feel slighted by anything less than lavish praise, but luckily the majority of artists I have interacted with have been very reasonable. In any case, the best way to avoid bashing an album is - as somebody else wrote in this thread - keeping away from bands/artists/subgenres we have little affinity for. Life is too short to listen to music we dislike just in order to bash it afterwards.

The report button to me stands for trolls and rude related things, not necessary bad written reviews.

Reviewers should be punished for dodgy spelling and grammer.

I did not type what is written on those pics. Delete them if you will  I'll share anything I find funny, until I get banned from here although I have no malice whatsoever in me.

I know, I know. I'm not deleting anything or banning anything, just keeping things in check. We're cool.

Not sure if google understands Italian, anyway this is all very silly. I wish bloodshed, war, etc would be banned instead.
