Wind yer neck in. I wasn't singling you out; all I was, and am, saying, is that I'll be damned if I'll wait another ten weeks or so before deciding to do anything to address the lack of participation. I don't mind if you're not taking part regularly (and I'm not aware of any "excuse", but if I was looking for one it would be in the form of a PM or post advising that you still intended to take part but couldn't for the moment for these reasons, as Pet_Sounds, Exo and others did. Never got that. "I've been busy with stuff" don't cut it pal.)

But I'm not asking for excuses. Nobody expects everyone to review every album (be nice if they could; some of us can but anyway) - just to take part. You - since you chose to make it personal - have reviewed ONE album in round two, so that's not acceptable if you want to be able to choose an album in future.

You can certainly piss off if you want, but it's stupid to throw your toys out of the pram. You were the one who accused me of being "impatient". Well, if certain people ain't done nothing for nearly six weeks now, I don't feel that's being impatient, and I also don't see it changing unless something is done. I'm doing something.

I'm very happy to have you here in the fullest capacity, but if you can't take part regularly you're not going to be allowed to block the way for those who can. Nor will anyone else. Hitler has spoken!

Oh, and Goofle, sorry: I realise that is your choice for this round, yes? I'll update the OP shortly.

I see this now. I reiterate, I was not penalising you; you're just not on the "Greenlist" yet. YET. If you wish to continue selecting albums, you need to say so, like anyone else not yet on the list. That's all. You're not being banished to the wilderness or anything. Quit yer crying, and stop white knighting for others; anyone who wants to **** with me over this rule will be perfectly capable of doing so themselves. Look after your own ****, is my advice.

Also slowed down my overall listening to music experience. Also why I have been popping into plug more lately.

And as for being impatient: FYI. TWO WEEKS ago, and no response from anyone who was in Orange, which is why I decided to up the ante. I'm a patient man, but my patience has limits. And it's not just me who's getting screwed over by lazy/uninterested ****ers, you know.

Now, if you haven't reviewed at least the three albums before yours then yours will be bumped down three spaces in the line, and each week you fail to participate you will be moved another three down, until you reach the end. At this point it's your last chance; if you don't review anything by then your album will be removed entirely. No album which begins its downward journey will be restored to its previous spot, for that round: you go down, you stay down. How far down you go is up to you. Shut it, Batty.

This is of course only applicable to the current round, after which you'll have another chance.

For those who care, August 27 is the deadline but it's not in stone. If you want to participate fully after that date, or find your circumstances have changed, you suddenly could be bothered etc, you can still let me know and provided you back up your words with action, you can go on the Greenlist. The deadline is just to give me some idea of who's serious, especially for round three and beyond.
