Update to Reviews, including a new Discussion feature

We have updated the 'Review' feature on the release, artist, and label pages. It is now called 'Reviews & Discussion', so allows you to post comments as well as reviews.

You'll see the 'Reviews & Discussion' section at the bottom of any release, artist, or label page. Click the 'Post Review or Comment' button to open the form.

If you are posting a comment, you just need to make sure your post is on-topic for that release, artist, or label page, and it follows the usual forum guidelines.

If you are posting a review, tick the 'This is a review' box before you submit. Please follow the advice on what to put in your review. We have removed the automatic checks on review capitalization and length, but reviews may still be deleted if they fall below the standards set out.

You can now be notified of replies to a review or comment, please tick the 'Notify me on replies' to enable this.

You can read further explanation of the Reviews & Discussion feature on it's Discogs help page.

Good feature. I look forward to using this!

I'm truly surprised that nobody's criticised, raved or otherwise commented on this new and rather unexpected feature.

While I'm not entirely sure what the point of the comments (or rather "discussions" is all about, since "submission comments" are suitable for this purpose), the fact that you can edit your own previous reviews is quite the bonus.

Now I can add that missing comma that's been bugging me for years. And that's a good thing.
