Eetu (& others),
When we delete (or edit) a review a communication is sent to the reviewer, explaining why the deletion and encouraging/inviting him/her to redo and resubmit the deleted one and make new ones.
In general, the replies are fair and the further development is agreeable - some are now fine PA reviewers (although I won't mention names here).
The communication text is more or less "standard" but we always make some changes when it's the first review of a member or when we realize that the reviewer's native language isn't English, etc.
However, any idea for improvement is welcome!

It's still sad as some who might not be very talented writers, would still want to give reviews for their favorite artists. Instead of deleting these, could this kind of reviewers be helped to fathom what their writing maybe lacks, and give them a change to enhance their writing? EDIT: I mean, my first reviews weren't much better than FloydFan's. If he would be guided to write concretelly why this album is a must have, you could have a new reviewer in the future. Simply bashing peoples own work by indicating thet they do not "qualify", you hurt the writer, lose a potential resource, and turn the site's culture towards a bad direction.

Yup, so you really have to screen those reviews, but the big problem is the reviewer can reflect in an overly positive or negative way thus wrongly indicating the merits of a particular work. This is especially important when considering many new or more obscure works that don't get the weight of numbers that the more popular works get. This is where you spend your money.
I don't trust the way I review, so I shy away from it as a result.

Some people really have no clue of how a review should be written... For most, a review is essential in order to know whether a certain album is worth buying. If the relevant info is missing, what's the use of having a review at all?

GR & Fassbinder & Oliver: in both cases, I erased the text and let the rating.
If the reviewers want to really improve their reviews they can PM or mail me (or any Mod) and room will be provided for new submissions. ![]() Edited by Atkingani - August 21 2006 at 10:25 |

I just found this review of an ELO album:
ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA — On the Third Day Review by prog frog
http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=87799 As usual, it's not the length - it's just that it doesn't say anything useful about the album in question. Edited by Ghost Rider - August 21 2006 at 09:30 |

Could have been a mistake, eh?
I'd say give him notice of the fact and delete the faulty one ![]() |

Progressive Metal
(Studio Album, 2002) Avg: 3.43/5 from 19 ratings RHAPSODY / RHAPSODY OF FIRE — Power of the Dragonflame Review by lffm I find the songs on this particular album to be most enjoyable. Rhapsody exhibits an energy that few bands can match. While alot of the songs really do sound similar this band is extriemly good at what it does. And while this may not impress everyone, it certanly has impressed me.
