Some users were abusing the ratings system so their votes have been removed and they are blocked from voting further. That may have something to do with the re-emergence of RATs.

What criteria is used to determine if a person is abusing the rating system? |

If a person has a 95% (or more) ratio of all 1 stars or all 5 stars. JERIC can correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the responses, I figured it was something to that effect but wanted to make sure.
That is why I think the star ratings should be taken with a grain of salt and why I hope that the review system becomes more popular because those ratings will be backed up with at least some commentary to explain the a persons rating.
Maybe we should start a WRAT (Written Review All Tracks) list   |

 Yes, why not... huh.
I think I find it difficult to write a review because 1) I've not really done those before and 2) I am hesitant because I think my writing skills in English are not perhaps up to the task. (Yes, I know, I am very self-critical sometimes.) |

I do it often in french, but find it too difficult in English. Trying to translate into words the feeling you got while listening to music is very hard.
I've tried once to make a review in SST for a score I love, but it takes to me too much time to finish.
This quest will be made without me, sorry

Well the review will be reviewed by an admin first. if you state that they may correct it grammarwise, I think they will do that for you.
The first part just look at some examples. You can see in the stats which user wrote some reviews, if you go to their profile and then click on the 'Find all reviews by username'

Me writing reviews... LOL!
I can see it in my mind:
"I recommend the Lair soundtrack because... ummm... it's nice music. Dramatic, you know. Rhythmic. With some nice vocals & a bit of choir. They also have an orchestra, in case you didn't notice. At least I think they do... for all I know it's all out of a computer. Track 8 is nice... track 9 is nicer. Ignore Track 3.
Hopefully I impressed upon you the greatness of the Lair ST."

Looks like SST is NUT-free again!
I believe, Dragon-fly made a final move this time (wiping off the list Le Cinema De Michel Legrand album).
Thanks Dragon-fly!

No problem Molossus
I did it because BQ was offline, I hope she won't be mad at me it was mainly thanks to her requests...
But there is still few albums on a RAT list that I'm working on, I hope I play them often enough to get them rated soon. |

Good going Dragon-Fly! I think we'll get those albums rated soon, too.
I haven't rated them all myself yet, because I keep missing the requests... I hear them but I don't listen to them closely enough.. too busy with stuff.

Dragon-fly - I don't care!! That's why I put my message in the queue, so someone else would finish it off. I'm glad it's done. That LeGrande was...... grande.
