Monday/Tuesday activity ( and raffle...) In a debate/talk with gaypornlover about the time-overlap in reviews, Khan made this input: "FWIW, it's not at all unusual for us to see a quick succession of reviews on Mon and Tues in prep for the week's raffle drawing." 1) Why is that? Is it a hunt for the raffle? I do not think so. I believe the reason for more activity at Mondays and Tuesdays is another - merely that after the weekends with family, spouse ect you may get an upstart-feeling in the porn hunt ....Here We Go Again!!! No need for further explanation, I think. 2) Time overlap in reviews. Still think it's a "decent" thing to do: Let the latest review have some time at "the top". Did my review of Petites Parisiennes last night - but looked at the latest - by mbaya - and waited 24 hours to place it...No quarrel with gaypornlover - he merely forgot that somewhat unwritten agreement (see inputs) - which I think is fine here at PU.

I do my reviews when I have the time and not because of the raffle. I never used to look at the time the last review was posted before making mine. Now I do and I normally wait 6 or more hours. I think waiting is a nice decent thing to do but I think it shouldn't be more than 8 hours between reviews. If we were talking about someone reviewing a well known site with consistant high score or low score than that's one thing but there are some sites that have never had a review or thjose that have done huge chnages and I'd hate to be the person who joined one of those sites hoping for something and finding out that it was different. I've gotten burned on a quite a few sites in the last couple of months and I was in a hurry to post my review so that others did suffer my fate. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

It never occured to me to post in advance of the raffle to boost my chances, but that makes sense. Hmmmm... I'm writing a review now so maybe I should polish it up and post it soon... | |

I think the Monday, Tuesday submissions might also have something to do with the fact that for many Sunday is a day off and gives them a chance to write a review. BTW, talking about the unwritten rule, when I submitted my last review I never thought about displacing anyone on top, possibly because I wouldn't care if anyone did it to me or not, but I do apologize for being forgetful and posting the review only a couple of hours after someone else's. Was it MBaya? Can't remember now, in any case .. apologies. If I should do it again, give me a slap!  | |

I know you've already said it's okay but just to say I really am sorry about this and I didn't do it on purpose. I forgot to check as I'm still relatively new to the site. I do think it's polite to leave a gap whenever you can and I will check this in future.I tend to join and look at my sites more on a weekend so by the time Monday comes around, I've had a chance to look at them properly and review them. The raffle doesn't make a difference because you can earn tickets for the raffle all through the week and it all counts, it's not like you only get them if you post just before. | |

It's just like college. You've got a paper due the next day, so you pull an all-nighter. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

If you did, I didn't notice. I think waiting is polite, but you will never hear a complaint from me on this topic. Relax! | |

Other users answered but I'll point out the "Official ABRACADABRA Thread" for those who are unaware of it. Oft times one can find the meaning of a cryptic acronym there.

About your second point, maybe some sort of carousel feature (similar what is on the TBP homepage) would placate those users who feel hard done by whilst also allowing fresh reviews to be added without the fear of a faux pas. Maybe the last 5 reviews can be shown changing after a set interval. Obviously to make them readable a little pause button would need to be in place to stop the carousel. What do you think? The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

An interesting idea. I think it would be best to have that optional though. At the moment it is obvious which are the newest reviews. A carousel system would blur that. Cap'n.
