So essentially, Nea, if you want your votes to count then you have to become a Standard Member, which brings with it the responsibility of reviewing ALL albums --- whether you like them or not --- but with a longer timescale allowed (suggesting two weeks). If not, you become an Associate Member and can review, or not, whenever and how much or as little as you like, but your ratings will not be counted.
It looks like Comrade Stalin has spoken.

EDIT: I see from the last post that you`re running a pretty tight ship here, TH ! Just to let you know that I`m only here in passing, tbh - not even sure if I`d qualify for Associate membership!
This is the rating criteria:

Also a universal rating out of say 5, For example could be:

5.0- Masterpiece
4.5- Classic
4.0- Great
3.5- Good
3.0- Decent
2.5- Weak
2.0- Poor
1.5- Crap
1.0- Dud
