Searching members areas by tags Have any of you seen any sites that actually do searches by tags well? I love the idea of being able to go to a large site, search for scenes with the tags I am interested in, and download those scenes without browsing the entire content library. The problem is, I have yet to come across a site that has thoroughly and reliably tagged their scenes. There are many reasons why tags tend to be incomplete and off target. Sometimes tags are vague, as in hair color. What some people might call a blonde, others might call strawberry blonde, and still others redhead. Beyond that, most tags are actually extremely vague, such as "big butt," "steamy," "wet." Does "wet" mean in the shower, in the rain, at the poolside, wet pussy, squirting, or peeing? Also, it's a pretty daunting task just to thoroughly tag one scene. There are hundreds of tags that can be applied. I don't think any site scrutinizes every scene to make sure that every applicable tag is applied. Even in the case of very clear cut tags, tagging never seems to get done right. "Peeing" is a great example of a clear cut tag. There is never any doubt as to whether a model is peeing or not. It would be great if you could go to a site with tags, search for peeing, and get all of their pee content right there. The problem is that this is never the case. I have been to dozens of sites where you can search for content tagged with "peeing." In every case, with literally no exception, I have found pee scenes that were not tagged, and that would therefore get missed in a search by tags. At one site in particular, I downloaded over a hundred pee scenes that were not tagged. I thought about shooting an email to the webmaster with the list of scenes as a favor, but decided that it was probably a waste of time. There were hundreds of other tags on that site, all surely as inaccurate as peeing, so correcting it didn't seem worth anyone's effort. For this reason, I think tags are more of a novelty, but no one does them well. It's to the extent that I don't think I would take points from a review for inaccurate tags anymore, because there are only two types of sites when it comes to tags - those that don't do them and those that do them poorly. One nice thing about tags, even if inaccurate, is that they can allow you to do a double check and make sure you got all the scenes that you wanted. For example, I might review all the scenes at a site, download all the peeing scenes, then do a search by tag to make sure that I didn't overlook any. Every now and then I get one or two this way, and it's quick to do. Tags can also be great if they are made available to users previewing a site. AbbyWinters.com does this best. You can browse their entire member section and search by tags as a guest, and quickly get a sense of what they have to offer. Do any of you use tags much? Anyone holding out hope that accuracy will improve? Better to be pissed on, than to be pissed off. | |

ATK introduced tags across all of their sites some years back (I want to say around 2011?) and basically all of the content after the tags were introduced is pretty accurately tagged. Going back into the archives it does get worse and worse the farther back you go. Sadly, almost none of the sites that I have run across have a good system for users to suggest tags. I think VideoBox might have a system for it, but they have apparently given up on updating their site's technology and were wildly unimpressive the last time I joined them. I do use tags a lot on sites that have them, but have also run into the tags being extremely inaccurate most of the time. Even monster sites like Brazzers screw their tags up frequently. JAVHD is another site that tries, but is quite unreliable. I feel like sites just need to have a way for users to suggest a tag (from the list of approved tags) for a video or photoset, and then have the system can automatically notify the admin if something gets linked to the same tag by five different users. This would simply be to avoid the morons that will inevitably tag a video with every single tag just because they love the scene and think everybody should watch it. Though, honestly, it seems like porn sites, like magazines, are finding money in becoming more and more niche based and the all encompassing network sites are going away, so powerful tagging systems might just not be worth the money a web developer would charge to implement them.

ATK is one of my absolute favorite networks and I keep coming back to their sites. Like you say, their tags are pretty accurate, but not 100%. I've joined and re-joined multiple time, and each time it seems like you can get about 70% of their new peeing content through tags, and the remaining 30% goes untagged. It seems to be about the same proportion every year up to last spring which was the last time I joined. I wouldn't want to miss any of their scenes, so I always sort through them rather than use tags. AbbyWinters.com allows users to apply tags. It's probably the best system out there, but it's not perfect. Like every other site, many scenes are given the wrong tags. Better to be pissed on, than to be pissed off. | |
