Last week I posted a large number of reviews that I built up over the last year. I apologize for flooding the homepage and bumping others off, it was not my intention to be rude to others posting reviews.
The reason I had so many reviews to post, is that for about a year, from Sept 23 through August of 24, I counted down each of the albums from Prog Magazine's top 100 Prog Albums of All Time survey and reviewed each one (although the first few reviews were minimal, I developed a style over the course of the countdown). I would welcome anyone reading this to come check it out on Facebook by using hashtag : ##100greatestprogrockchallenge or searching my name, Scott Rich and sending me a friend request. Again, I apologize for being inconsiderate of other reviewers, and don't foresee it happening again. Thanks! Scott

Guys, if I were a PA mod/admin, I'd give that guy the PROG REVIEWER status for all the hard work! :) What do you think?

Writing all these reviews is nice indeed. The problem is of course the feed, and I can understand why you may not have had that on your radar when posting. So it's all good as far as I'm concerned.

I say you were extremely inconsiderate considering how much time many put into their reviews. The front page has a fast turnover the way it is. You didn't have to publish them all at the same time you know. If you've spent any time here at all you will notice how prolific reviewers such as myself pace ourselves by posting no more than 3 or 4 reviews a day. What's the hurry? You've waited this long? Also you can rate all those albums and then post reviews a few days later and they won't appear on the front page. I guarantee that nobody read all of those. I'm so turned off by the process that i won't even read one to be honest. Just saying ;) (function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'8c4290948ad2d01d',t:'MTcyNjUwNzYyMC4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();< style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: medium none; visibility: ;" width="1" height="1">

Again, I apologize, no disrespect was intended. I didn't even realize they were going to the homepage until later. Once I saw that it was PM'd to me by a mod, I immediately put up this post.

I noticed it but in the end I didn't think it was a big deal. I've seen others do it too although maybe not to that extent. Either way life goes on. It seems you recognize it now after the fact and are willing to space out your reviews in the future. Better late than never.

No problem with that. Your reviews reminded me of some great albums that I also reviewed and re-listened to.

Yeah all of those are tricks of the trade that you only learn about once you've navigated this clunky site for a while. (function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'8c4302aedf0315f7',t:'MTcyNjUxMjI5NC4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();< style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: medium none; visibility: ;" width="1" height="1">

^Being that he apologized and you won't accept his apology what do you want (or expect) him to do now? Leave the site? He couldn't do that anyway because you can only leave if moderators remove you and I doubt they would remove him for this.

By God, you really can be quite unpleasant. Absolutely no need for this whatsoever. He has apologised, realises what happened, and we should all move on. I think you owe him an apology.

I've been around here a while, but I pop in and out as it suits me these days. I generally don't even read the reviews on the front page (largely because my current editorial work has me reading from a screen for long stretches). I especially don't read reviews of albums that are very well known / very popular here. But I read yours. I appreciated your fresh enthusiasm, and, as noted, you are a good writer. If you enjoy writing these reviews, keep it up. As you've recognized, keep it to a few in a span, and you'll be golden.

No way. Do you think he's the only one who has pulled the same
trick? I wrote this so anyone who is considering doing the same thing
should realize many of us don't think it's fair to others. Apology accepted. The point of my post is to highlight how this can be avoided BECAUSE others find it in bad taste. (function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'8c442dde5ccd17e0',t:'MTcyNjUyNDU0OC4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();< style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: medium none; visibility: ;" width="1" height="1">

I don't even see why he apologized, given that it's barely 100 reviews. if all posted at the same hour, 24 hours later, they're off the front page.

Welcome back to the site, perhaps, I might say (2004, a true oldbie). Thanks, Scott, for the explanation and hope to see you posting more here in the forum. :)

A bit of the pot calling the kettle black here. Every time I hit the home page I see it flooded with reviews from Silly Puppy. Say what you will about spreading things out but honestly most times I visit this site (which is almost daily) the vast majority of home page reviews are from you. Sorry for the quick vent. Welcome back Yarstruly! Keep em coming! Enjoying your reviews

^ so do my three reviews a day knock everyone else off the top 50? You really don't see the difference? LOL There are many reviewers who are prolific I think Mellotron Storm is the most prolific on any given day and almost 2000 reviews ahead of the next guy! (function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'8c46baeadeeb15da',t:'MTcyNjU1MTI5Ny4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();< style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: medium none; visibility: ;" width="1" height="1">
