Reviews reporting thread

I tried posting again but got this error message:

A rating/review posted 5/11/2025 2:17:53 PM, for this album already exist for user (FearofaBluePlanet).
You can edit your old ratings and reviews, just log in using the MEMBER LOGIN link, top menu. Report problem by contacting progarchives.com administrators.

I edited the review and it was removed again. What was the reason?

New member - criticises other reviewers comments. Doesn't actually say anything really about the music?!

Plus who is Gary Cherone?!?

I google translated and did some editing. Other than adding a "t" too "Foxtro" and a note at the end on it being translated and only submitting reviews in English, the only thing I changed was what came out for lyrics. I changed "there's a fat woman outside the room" to "There's a fat old lady outside the saloon."

Alain himself confirmed that he uses machine translation. https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133946

AlainPP, translated by my dear friend Saga wrote: "Indeed, I am using Google Translate, so the meaning of what I write tends to get lost in translation... I'm just making the most of what I have available, I'm no robot... that stuff makes me kinda laugh, I am the only one who shares my chronicles, you can also find the original ones on sites like Profil prog and Prog censor. Good day to all those who follow me!"

Pascaline.ha https://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=77424 has submitted several reviews in French. I translated the first hoping it would be noticed and emulated, but then more reviews quickly went up in French. After I saw the other reviews had gone up, I did PM to alert him of the rules asking him to edit those with translations. If he does not act on it later then I will deal with the reviews. Just a heads-up that the in-French issue does not need reporting.

^ Thanks, I remember talking to Cylli Kat years ago about the new account. There was some issue with the old one (just password methinks, which I could have reset and think I did). I think he wanted to move his old reviews over to to his new account. And I had concerns, not a good solution, but probably some miscommunication, he might have wanted me to remove the reviews off his old account. He has not had activity for quite long time, and I will batch delete the older Cylli Kat account reviews and ensure that that account is suspended.

In plain text here were the reviews and ratings lists for both accounts

EDIT: So I removed all ratings/reviews for the original Cylli Cat account, plus suspended it and suspended another account he made in the last few years called Cylli Kat II. I tried to talk to him before but I think there was some kind of communication breakdown.

^ Thanks for the reports. I have translated both reviews to English and will try to contact the one who submitted the reviews.
