I know. I relized that after I hit "post" and I quickly removed that.

Yeah. I misunderstood what you had said.... and funny enough, I noticed that you were joking after posting my impulsive reply. xDDD Yeah, that was embarrassing. So, let's forget that flub.

Already forgotten, seriously, I have memory issues.    And I make mistakes often enough. I'm getting too old to care unless it it is something really important.

 This appears to be a review of the music on Talking Heads “Little Creatures” rather than Remain in Light?!

Sub Rosa's last album is not an exception, e.g. the second-last has pretty ridiculous rating distribution, with a ton of 5-star ratings from bots:

i was hoping he would see the Social Comment and take action. I have deleted the review and will try to contact the reviewer.

Yep, huge amount of abuse and the 5 stars across Sub Rosa albums. It a bazillion Brazilian accounts to deal with ratings. Be so much easier if I were to just delete the albums. Dealt with. Will have to continue to keep an eye on the Sub Rosa pages.

^ Thanks for the reports. I have translated both reviews to English and will try to contact the one who submitted the reviews.

There's a user named Cylli Kat who has two accounts. Jim Calistro is the name for both accounts. I just noticed two reviews, 3 years apart for David Maxim Micic's "Bilo 3.0" record by him. Same review. But I see there are other duplications looking at the reviews list of both accounts.

^ Thanks, I remember talking to Cylli Kat years ago about the new account. There was some issue with the old one (just password methinks, which I could have reset and think I did). I think he wanted to move his old reviews over to to his new account. And I had concerns, not a good solution, but probably some miscommunication, he might have wanted me to remove the reviews off his old account. He has not had activity for quite long time, and I will batch delete the older Cylli Kat account reviews and ensure that that account is suspended.

In plain text here were the reviews and ratings lists for both accounts

EDIT: So I removed all ratings/reviews for the original Cylli Cat account, plus suspended it and suspended another account he made in the last few years called Cylli Kat II. I tried to talk to him before but I think there was some kind of communication breakdown.

You sure are good at your job Greg! I don't think I would have even noticed if his two reviews weren't back to back under non-collaborator review section, even though 3 years apart.

This appears to be a review from the record label?! Is this allowed?!

^ I'm not familiar with rules against that despite people frowning on such things. It's terrible to read.
