100% rating in a review? How do you react when you see a website get a rating of 100% in a review? I have never seen a site where that got me interested in joining. | |

I'm skeptical when I see a 100 rating in a review. I think that if someone is giving that rating then they're being too subjective. Regardless of the rating though it's important that the review justify whatever rating that they give. For me, the pros, cons and bottom line are much more important parts of a review than the rating number. | |

I have only ever given a 100 once. But after I review Tushy.com I may give out another. For me a site gets 100 if it is spectacular and delivers the exact experience it promises. For myself (And at least 1 other) Blacked.com was a perfect website experience. Each scene is its own masterpiece. But let me clarify it is not my favorite website so I feel like I am a pretty fair guy. My favorite website is Facial Abuse. And I only gave that website a 80 for the reasons I listed. If I see a website and it has a 100 score it makes me want to read the review, read the replies and take a look at the website. I feel like it is important to reward a website that does a fantastic job with a fantastic score. At the end of the day it is only my opinion. 1Ti 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; Edited on Aug 30, 2015, 09:51am | |

Over the years PU has had a lot of reviews that had a rating of 100%. They are usually by newbies and are far too subjective, as Rearadmiral has pointed out. Some valid criticism is either not mentioned or is not taken into account. The number of videos as compared to the price is a good example of this, and so is the fact that a site may not be too creative or story driven. By definition, I would never think of a gonzo type of site as perfect. Standalone sites are also not as good a deal as those that offer more than one site, let alone a network. Some feel that having name pornstars is a plus, others that it is a negative. Ages count, as many prefer a mix of ages, older models or younger ones. Yes it is a matter of taste. Yes 100% is hard to justify. The best reviews are your opinion, but also are meant as objective advice for those whose taste differs. | |

There have been several times that webmasters/mistresses have urged their members to write biased reviews to help promote their websites. What you see are several reviews over a short span with reviews of 100, or some may be at 99. They are generally very short and provide little insight in to why the site deserves the rating. Let me summarize and give an example. Pros-best site on the internet. None comes close. Cons- none or that they wish the sight had more content. Bottom line-the site is highly recommended. These reviews are nothing better than blatant site promotion. In other words they are spam masquerading as reviews. I hope that we don't get incidents like these ever again. They are opinions, so it is hard to say they are not entitled to them. I hope you Pyrenees see why many at PU see high scores very skeptically, especially if the reviewer has no record of other, more balanced reviews. I hope Amanda is aware that such attacks on the integrity of PU have happened, and may very well happen again. | |

I wish you would not call me out Mbaya I have nothing but respect for you. We just happen to disagree on 1 site. It is ok to have different opinions. I really care about my reviews and this site. Could we please let this go. I do not want to talk about my 100 score on blacked.com any more. It 100% deserves it in my opinion and that is the end of the conversation as far as I am concerned. I feel like if a site gives you exactly what it promises then it deserves a high score. I have only ever given a 100 once. I had to defend it then and now it feels like I am beating a dead horse. This will be my last post ever on this topic and if I continue to get called out I will stop doing reviews. I do this for fun and friendship not for arguing over nit picking. 1Ti 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; | |

I have no desire to call you out. I am truly sorry if you feel that you are being singled out. Don't ever think about stopping your participation in any way. I hope though that you see why this topic can bring out responses. Edited on Aug 31, 2015, 07:08am | |

Thank you, I just really do not want to talk about that site anymore lol. I look back on that review (It was one of my first) and I could have done better. Given more information. I am no saying you do not have a point. Because I agree with your points. I am just very sensitive person. I try not to take things personally but I am very emotional. Again I am glad for your words. Like I said I have nothing but respect for you. I want my peers to appreciate and value my participation. I am sure we all feel this way. 1Ti 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; | |

I can tell you from the RabbitsReviews side of things that we don't believe in sites getting 100. There is always SOMETHING that can be added or improved to make the user experience better. It's nit-picking, to be sure, but the great sites are always looking to get better and it's the work of review sites like ours and the feedback from your reviews on PornUsers that help push industry forward. | |

I don't want to come across as a dick but I'm sure that some of the comments I sometime post on high scored reviews must make me sound like one even though I am not. In fact all I usually want to know is why someone feels that the site they have now given a perfect score is in fact so great that there is not a single thing that they believe can be improved with the site. I've been surfing for porn for a while now and I have yet to come across a perfect site. What I have found are sites that find a niche and exploited it to the best of their abilities/ Some manage to do an amazing job and these sites deserve to get a high score but never a perfect score. Of course if someone truly believes that the site they have joined is perfect than their review has to have arguments that support that perfect score. Otherwise people may not believe the reviewer and that will negate all the good work he or she was trying to do with their review. For me reviews serve two very different purposes but both are important. Bad reviews serve to make sure that no one else loses money on a shitty site and by default means that the owner of that site may lose so much money that they go out of business. The other purpose is to make sure that those amazing pearls of porn are shared with as many people as possible so that others get to enjoy something that the reviewer found amazing. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

To be fair, Blacked and Tushy are both really great sites. And with a Riley Reid scene on Tushy maybe it needs a score like Consumer Reports gave a Tesla - 103 out of 100! | |

That is what I am saying Rearadmiral. I am familiar with a lot of higher education professors. The ones from Germany NEVER give a A+ or 100 on any assignment they always look for the tiniest flaws. Where as American professors are much more likely to give out at least 3 A+ per 30 students. Is it because they are flawless? No, it is because they ticked all the little boxes on the assignment Rubric and deserve a pat on the back. Some sites have scenes that are so perfect I want to reward those sites with high scores but I cannot. For example my FAVORITE scene of all time is on WoW Girls. It is a foursome with Paloma and Kiara. But I cannot give that site a perfect score despite this because of the negatives are too large. But with Blacked.com I got at least 20 of the best inter racial sex scenes I have ever owned. Not a single scene was worthless. This level of excellence ticked all the boxes in my own rubric. Hot models check. Big name pornstars check. Muscular black men with huge dongs check. Passionate IR sex check. Frontal doggystle check. Women moaning and making passionate faces check. Some anal check. Massive loads of cum check. Great lighting check. Great lingerie check. Scenes with a plot check. Everything it promised me when I signed up it over delivered. The scenes were even better than the trailers and that is saying something. When I first wrote the review I was kind of new here and I could have fleshed it out better. But I stand behind that score because I am proud of Blacked.com and anyone who joins it and is a fan of IR sex will be satisfied. I look forward to Tushy.com and reviewing it because it looks like another masterpiece. I contacted the webmaster (He has not replied yet) and asked if they would do a third site. With the most beautiful black women being made love to by white men. There is a sad lack of a good Black woman website. I want a website that takes only the most beautiful black women and films them properly. I feel like the people who do these two websites are the only ones capable of pulling this off. Because they are very discriminatory on which models they choose for scenes. They are not in a huge rush they hire the best. I want to pay for the best Ebony women sex website of this quality. What do you guys think? 1Ti 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; | |

That is a fair opinion MikeC. I have a question. Blacked.com has 13 requests for a review from TBP. Is it not about time for one =). I know everyone would love to have some kind of discount for them =). 1Ti 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; | |

I would sign up if they had a site that featured beautiful black women. I think they would have a winner idea with that one, at least with me. I have revived an old thread from several years ago on black women in porn. I hope that you can make your usual knowledgeable contribution on how you see that porn niche. | |

I know that many people at PU think that no site deserves a 100 score. They seem to think (I am generalizing here) that a 100 score means a perfect site, and apparently, a perfect site only exists as a goal, and not something that can be achieved. I've never given any site a 100 score. I did give Metart a score of 99 on my last review of the site (in 2013), because I felt it was Best in Class for softcore glamor photo sets of models. I am not saying Metart is perfect. I've mentioned many times that their videos are disappointing. But that is something that I find common to softcore sites. Maybe it's due to my personal tastes that I find softcore videos disappointing. Or maybe it's a technical issue. Softcore photo sets can be erotic. But most softcore videos are not erotic (for me, at least). Metart was the first site I wrote a review on for PU. That was in 2008. At the time, I gave it a score of 97. I based it on Metart's many strengths (huge number of attractive models, massive amount of photo sets, a large number of different photographers, how easy the site was to use, the amazing way they updated on a daily basis of 4 to 6 photo sets/videos. I knew that a 97 score would probably draw some criticism, because most PU members think 97 is too high a score for any site. But Metart just impresses the hell out of me. I personally think it's the best softcore site on the Internet. Although MPL Studios is very fine. For some reason, I don't enjoy Femjoy as much as either Metart or MPL Studios. I gave Femjoy an 87 in 2009. I just enjoy the photo sets at Metart and MPL Studios more than the photo sets at Femoy. Femjoy has tons of photo sets. Tons of attractive or lovely models. So Femjoy is an excellent site. But I personally enjoy Metart and MPL Studios more than Femjoy. And I believe that a person's individual preference is reflected in many of the scores for the different sites. Some people believe that the score for a site should be based on hard, cold facts, that are exterior to the reviewer. I don't agree. I believe that the site score should reflect the reviewer's ideas, thoughts, viewpoints, whatever. I think it makes for a better review, one that is more informative, interesting. Just my 2 cents. (Or maybe, with inflation, just my dime's worth). | |

Metart is a great site and I can see someone giving it a correspondingly great score. It is the best in its class, even better than Femjoy, also a great site. Metart is huge and keeps growing. The quality of its models and photography is consistently fantastic. All of this is worth extra points, just not 100. | |

100% should never be given IMO. There is always scope for improvement.  Admiral of the PU Hindenburg. 2009 PU AwardHilarious Post of the Year 2010 PU Award ( I would have preferred it to be Helpful Post of the Year for Guys who Hate 'Retail Therapy' ) :0/ Sanity is in the eye of the Beholder! | |

I can respect that. Do not agree but totally understand it. I think it is because I have a 'collector' mentality. A website could probably be 99.9% bad. But if it gives me a top 100 scene I am going to be looking at it with rose colored glasses. Example from WoW Girls. There is a foursome with Gina Paloma, Kiara and two guys. Legendary doggy scene man. Would give that site a great score if it was the only scene lol. 1Ti 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; | |
