A general survey about P.A. and RYM

 I know what you mean, also speaking of earlyprog, in a weird way I must say I actually do like him, he would be my annoying little brother if I had any  hugs

 

Driftingsun, don't take it personally  Also, hello! And welcome! plus hugs

 

Don't take things personally here, unfortunately ratings manipulation do happen here and some "unfortunately inc. those unfounded" are viewed most suspiciously. Some members speak whatever comes to their mind even if it is unfounded (at times hurtful) but they are harmless and do not bite  One has no remedy against brute comments however we are all here for a purpose even if we have different approaches and/or different opinions or specific taste in moozik.  Pay no attention to what some people say, most of us believe that the majority of new people that join PA, have good intentions are for real and the main purpose is music, being it an musician, music aficionado or a fan.  

It's a great site and forum to be part of  more hugs  

 

 

This thread has been derailed enough as it is.

Who would be that stupid, a review of Drifting Sun by driftingsun 

I think my message got through anyway.

Hugs

 

I second all you said, Dean, in defense about M@X and PA (besides that M@X looks like Harvey Spector from SUITS, aka hot) all this said he was the pioneer and to date no site is parallel to PA.

Lazland, hello! You very, VERY, clever smoochie!

We both agree here that M@X makes very little revenue on PA and that collabs are eager to help out this site, to develop and carry on, it's all for the love of moozik and this is priceless. One thing we all have to agree is that M@X was a pioneer before  (and after to be honest) there was nothing quite like P.A.

Beyond the database PA has become a major prestigious site to join or be part of inc. for bands. 

I salute M@X very much, however I also know that google pays very little thus income is almost none unless we get more traffic through here because being prestigious means nothing, they don't care all they see is numbers,  if one cannot get the numbers, we best get sponsors and that is a pop up adverts etc nightmare really..

A massive big hug to you, my sweet hot clever Lazland  

What he said. However, after such limitations, all the comments that may lead towards an "investigation" on the reasons why & how people are rating the albums - that must be banned. I mean, this is assuming that there will always be some comments that decried how "balefully" was rating did by someone else and in the case that only the PA' Senior members (and Collaborators & Admins) are allowed to rate, that kind of the comments ought to be removed from the forum promptly; of course, with a warning to those who post such a comments.

Non-English speakers who maybe really want to (only) rate the albums at PA, they can reach that senior member status for example by going to the polls and doing even a copy/paste of the name of some at the poll listed band / album and to post it in the polls threads though they will not be able to vote in the poll 'til they are reached the status of senior members.

Indeed, there is no better solution than what twalsh suggested.
