I think that it sucks, that they fucked you out of your reviewer status. You used to write a Hell of a lot of reviews on this webzine.  Did you do something wrong? It looks like they need reviewers who'll work on the requests from the reviewers forum, so I'm thinking that you might be able to work your way up from there. I'm moving towards that direction myself.

I did a lot of reviews from the forum! and i dont really know why. At first they were saying that people were complaining about me only doing 20/20 or 1/20 reviews when in reality (i had about 150ish written at the time) only 35 or so were 20/20 and Two were 1/20, one being 2/20. Yet they never took the time to consider my response, partially because google translate sucks ass.

I also created a lot of controversy among the french section whenever I wrote a review being an unpopular opinion on an old school legendary album. Although that was part of the reason i wrote those reviews, it was over-the-top when the admins started sending me messages that they're tired of complaints of my reviews just being BAD. that tells me NOTHING.

it's just a lack of patience and tolerance due to the language Barrier that HAS caused the admins on here to have such a bad reputation. I have never stopped writing reviews, in Fact, im approaching the 400 mark on the number of reviews I've written (although college HAS made it hard for me to find the time that i used to have).

If you review the requests from the reviewers forum, it's harder for people to Bitch about them. Because they're mostly obscure bands. That's what the admins really want from us. If we help them out with that, then they'll most likely help us out.

I just finished writing up a review for a free Russian demo that I got in the mail. It was a request from the forum. But I'll type it on tomorrow night, because it's getting late.

BUT YES I KNOW that one or more of the admins (I'm not going to say who) are assholes, 

I think I'm one of them, No?
Not only 35 of your reviews had 20/20 or 1/20.
I think also that the others admins didn't Saw what you write about them. Their point of view about you and and your first account on Spirit Of Metal, will be interesting.

So. The opener of the topic HAS been banned, we neither will not be losing anything.

About the assholes bunch as some are describing us, it is sure that talking about persons this way will not be these persons kindly with you.

By the way, we have not been introduced yet. Nice to meet you asshole!
Now the presentations have been done, we can go on with more serious stuff.

About the language Barrier, yes, there is some barrier. It is mostly due to the Fact that SoM is at first a french site. So most of the admins are french...
The reason that the English side of SoM is kind of deserted is that we have already too much assholes (and this time, I'm not kidding) to deal with on the French side. BUT, as you noticed the admins aren't all French.

To get the things clear. Price is the same for EVERYONE.

If an English speaker do crap on his submissions, he is penalized, and if it still go on he could be blocked or banned.
If a French speaker do crap on his submissions, he is penalized, and if it still go on he could be blocked or banned.

The Submission guide is the same for everyone, the rules are the same for everyone. We tried to translate the best we could the subissions guide. Me and many others before me spend dozens of hours doing that.

Maybe some have been penalized thinking doing well, following the guide, but there may had a misunterstanding. If the submissions guide is not clear enough, tell us where is the shit, and we will fix it. It is more useful for everyone reporting that instead of create crappy topics to Cry about the super-evil administrators.

So, do not think you not-French are treated with less interest when you receive penalty points. EVERYONE is treated the same way (excepted assholes for whom we have special treatment).

I hope I made the things clearer.
