Reviews reporting thread

The Bearded Bard, that is not a nice thing to say, be nice! No one is playing the victim here and certainly not Lucas, he stayed out of all of this silly discussion, he only commented to all the above now and is most welcome too! I was wondering, as so were others, expecting a reaction from him. He followed the rules, nothing was previously stated that a collab wouldn't be able to translate a review of a none English speaker and make it his own meanwhile clearly giving credit to the original author although the translation is different not only because direct translation from a latin language is very different to English, the fact is that he made it his own too! Have any of you actually read both of the reviews? I think not or none of you would say such things. 

The band review is not even in the top 100 Pa ratings, it's the only review the band had and now it's gone. 

All arguments should be in consideration of benefiting PA site, not about personal dilemmas. The fact is that now anyone searching for this band won't find any written review for the band. This review in French was written by a respected reviewer, thus not the so called fan boy reviewers (I still don't understand why such animosity against them either) that most of you seem to snub your noses up, after all most of you have been them. 

The fact is that the only review the band had on this site is not anymore on PA, this is a shame. 

This is all becoming very silly, tiny contained democratic opinion within Admins wanted it removed and this is fine/acceptable however do let others speak their mind too after the fact. 

Awww but you are always very nice and funny too, tho'  big hug to you, The Bearded Bard

   

No pun intended, however I think the voting should have been extended beyond admins, especially considering that no written rules were broken. 

This is not a democracy, it's a privately owned web-site with free public access.

Back to your comment now, to the above you said, with that do you mean it's an authoritarian site no matter other members point of views? 

Have you ever worked in a large organisation?  Do you fully grasp how feasible (or, rather, infeasible) it would be to referendum every decision that goes into running such a large database?

I haven't read the whole discussion but I would not look at somebody's linkedin profile unless it's an artist (I'm connected with Randone, Clive Brooks and Marjana Semkina).

Why should I care of somebody's real job and of how successfully he/she does it?

Back to the original discussion, personally during the years I have had a couple of reviews deleted. I have rewritten one of the two and given up to the other. Where's the problem? We are not paid for writing and a deleted review doesn't mean a loss (except for the time spent in writing). 

For the specific case, recently a new Prog magazine appeared in Italy. The first number contains a review written in th 70s by a famous specialized journalist for the album "Crac!" by Area which caused some polemics. The article contains also the reply from Demetrio Stratos. Everything very interesting, but what if I translate the two things, even partially, and post them here? Is there any copyright issue? How can the admins (and whoever is legally responsible for the site) manage it? 

Will you please stop talking about me? Am I that interesting to you?
