What would stop them from spamming the album facts thingy? It seems the cons outweigh the pros, and really, earning points to level up is all about patience, and taking your time, really enjoying BEA and all it has to offer. You don't need to spam to earn them, what's the hurry (unless you're suffering from a fatal illness)?

Fair enough. Could they at least award 10 points for comments though?? It's going to take me ages just to be able to make a top 50 list...

It doesn't seem to be a huge problem for anyone else, and the point of having a stricter point system than you'd like is to encourage participation.

BEA is built around favourite albums charts, not reading tidbits about bands. That is what Google is for.

Just because it's new doesn't mean it's good.

Pointless really. If we wanted to know about the making of the album that much, we'd go on youtube or buy a DVD. I don't think this feature will add anything to the site.

Well, posts could be approved by moderators before being published although I'm aware that would take a lot of time. If they can add a lot of other info and statistics I'm sure they could manage this 😉 haha

Glad you like it. They wouldn't even have to create a new section for it. when you click on an album and it displays the tabs- Summary Ratings Comments etc there could be a trivia one where either BEA input facts and information or us users do. And also a media tab which would include links to legal streaming sites, making of videos and video interviews relating to it.

The problem with this is that people could just add what they want. Some info may be incorrect.

Unless they set a few rules for this kind of thing.

Would it be possible to have a section devoted to facts about albums and interviews relating to them from artists/production and possibly embedded videos about the making of them?
