    AllMusic: Ads cover content and make submitting corrections impossible!

    Nox Arcana · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    Seriously, after almost 400 complaints in as many years about this very thing, WTAF? Do you idiots just not care or are you that lazy.

    Everything is covered by ads, especially the fixed bottom footer, which covers the Google captcha.

    A spammy reviewer is actively making your site worse

    TL;DR: A certain AllMusic user's spammy reviews (41200+ reviews in <4 years) have made AllMusic a less useful, more hostile place to visit. This post requests that some sort of mitigating action be taken.

    (Feel free to reach out if you want the specific username, but I'm sure you're already aware of this person. Hint: they review a lot of metal acts.)

    Firewall Security Alert

    It should at least provide a proper error status.

    Oh, and autoloading more crap when I'm looking for the "contact us" or "feedback" link in the footer is not very helpful either. Why do you insist on reinventing that which does not need reinvented, just properly implemented?

    Demaning I sign up just so I can tell you something. And not say so up front either. Your arrogance keeps mounting.
