Hi,
because of various personal problems (but not only) Mandrakeroot retired from PA.
It is now active in 1967/ 1976 which is the same person but using a different approach with PA. |

I have wrote a PM to easy livin'.
Having had serious personal problems (resolved) and have tried to continue as Mandrakeroot...
I have noticed that Mandrakeroot was no longer part of me. And thanks to PA I was able to understand that my vision of Prog was not correct.
I thought it right to change, sure that in this way I can be more useful for PA. -------------  |

^ Oh Andrea - you cannot review the same albums you reviewed under your former name - please inform one of the Admins which reviews are duplicates and we will remove the old ones. ------------- What? |

Ahh, sorry. If I would not ask too, in addition to close my previous account, also deleted all my previous reviews!
I had forgotten to ask you to delete all my previous reviews, and I apologize to you.
I hope you understand my intentions... I did not want to create problems... I know how many problems I have created (and this is why I decided to start a new relationship that I hope is better than the previous relationship). ------------- |

You have got to be B
 dy kidding! Have you any idea how much work is involved in deleting 793 reviews?! We cannot bulk-delete reviews they have to be done one at a time - even if we delete the account the review remains.
Seriously - the answer (from me at least) is no. ------------- What? |

If the terms of the contention are these... I will be forced to leave PA.
Unfortunately I think it's better this way.
What hurts me is that there are many people who are trying to ruin PA and I just because I was one of those and is trying to change i'm censored. I'm noticing that others do not happen and also do well in PA career. I am sorry to say this but ... I do not put any choice.
If you do not want to cancel my reviews... Well... It will be better for me to leave PA. Unfortunately, when one is trying to expiate their sins through dishonest twice.
Mandi,
Andrea.
P.s.: Good luck to you all. ------------- |

Sorry Andrea - it is not a question of "want" but "time" - I want to delete your reviews but it will take hours to delete all of them - if I can do 1 a minute that is 13 hours work without a break. I cannot commit that amount of time.
Tell us which ones are duplicated and we will delete them, but we simply cannot delete them all.
Alternatively let us change the name of your old account to 1967/1976 and you can edit your own reviews.
------------- What? |

Unfortunately this is not possible because I have to do this and do not want to explain why. About reviews... I can freely review and then you can delete the double reviews ... Why should I do this is a personal matter that I can not explain.
P.s.: Unfortunately many of the review I wrote (mostly Prog Metal [of any kind it is]) I can not digest more and I would just delete them. ------------- |

| Dean's proposal seems like the best solution here, as you have the facility to edit your reviews. Duplicated reviews by the same member are a breach of the rules of course. |

I know full well the rules and that is why I decided to change everything. As a Mandrakeroot... Unfortunately I do not see more Mandrakeroot and its reviews. Lately he had become a chaos... For example... I saw that ended Casnterbury had a few reviews... I had to increase them... Some votes were placed by chance because I had always given high ratings...
I know very well that I made him the desire to break the world... Also this time. And I understand very well that delete 793 reviews is not easy and fast.
Rewrite reviews... I can not because I would not be able to do a good job and I would not be able to be objective as all the work again.
I do not say that my old reviews (written as Mandrakeroot) should cancel all come in a shot. I could simply be a little at a time to be erased...
I know I'm asking a lot... I could also take from me... If only I could. I agree with you that the one you proposed would be the best way, my many reviews are really interesting but... I am not in them... Especially in those of contemporary bands.
Surely the problem of duplicated reviews is a problem that I had not grasped immediately... And I'm sorry to have created this problem... In any case I am willing to wait to review albums that I had already reviewed until my old reviews have not been erased. ------------- |

Mandrakeroot referring to 'itself' in the third person kind of gives me the creeps. I'm outta here . . . Welcome back, you split personality, you. |

....Not gunna lie, I am quite confused. I guess this is what happens when you stay out of the main prog sections...but I have no idea what happened with you and the archives, whatever you problems you caused but I'm glad you have sorted out whatever was going on in your life. Welcome back!? |
