Regarding what can be posted here
 

Just curious - I saw somebody posted his review of the Portishead album and had it locked as there is already a thread on it in another section. Is it not allowed to make a thread with your own review of any album in it, or was there a particular reason in this instance?

He didn't post a review , just a link to one.

Ah, ok

If he had posted a review then of course it would have stood but then have been merged. Makes it easier for search engines and posters looking for info.
