At the bottom, of the page, there are normally some reviews that have less than 200 characters that we are unable to see. Some of them have peculiar marks, either too low or too high, so I am wondering, why can't we see what the reviewer has to say?

99 per cent of them don't say anything GR!Confused

The 1 per cent that do, don't say enough to constitute a review, they just say "This is great", or "This is rubbish", you get the picture. The 200 characters equates to the 50 word minimum guideline for reviews (give or take a few lettersWink).

Wouldn't deletion be the better way of solving the problem?

I mean, if a person gives a highly critically acclaimed album one point, without explaining why he doesn't like, why does the review count as a review? Remember how many DT Octavarium reviews got deleted? They were actually reviews.

GR,

There are many threads discussing reviews without ratings. The decision has been taken meanwhile to accept them.

See the "Frequently asked questions" thread too.
