^I know it's a bitch, but for the time being - we are sadly not able to erase these buggers, unless we jump to unnecessary means, but that is indeed a slippery slope. 

Only M@X can change the front page.

Over the effing moon.

It's not a big problem to get out of the newbie zone. But it takes time and you have to repeat it for each of the fake accounts. In the case of Jose Natal we are speaking of about 50. It would make it more difficult, specially if you are using a software. We can't force people to join the forum just so they can review or rate albums - some of our top reviewers have never posted on the forum.   One simple solution would be to limit the number of ratings-only that anyone can make in a 24hour period.

I'm just looking for ideas, the important is doing something.

I don't know how this software works. Are you saying that it's because of a bug?

This is allowed?

This is a tad insulting, even personally so since I just posted my review of the album this morning.

I'm Anglo-centric and American-loathing because I rated four stars instead of five? 

"Herbie's THRUST is a perfect example of how European-leaning, Anglo-centric and downright American-loathing the reviewers on this site can be. It would just *KILL* some of these reviewers to give this landmark recording a so-called "masterpiece" score.

If Herbie's Hancock is not a FIVE STAR effort in the world of progressive music, then please tell me what is? Oh, of course! Anything Anglo or European qualifies, immediately! Right, I forgot who the audience is...."

Erm, Herbie Hancock's Crossings for one?

I'd "only" give Thrust four stars myself.  From the 70s, I like The Mwandishi trilogy albums (Mwandishi, Crossings, and Sextant) the most, but I prefer Thrust to Headhunters.  Bennie Maupin's Jewel in the Lotus is a great album, though I somewhat prefer the related sounds of Priester's Love, Love and Eddie Henderson's Realization.

It's a ridiculous commentary.  Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock are two of the most popular artists in JRF.  And the American Frank Zappa is one of the most beloved names in PA.  And then there are all those popular Prog Metal bands, as well as US psyche ones in PA.
