It's good to see a poll from an old member who hasn't been around for awhile. I picked "other" because I think my reviews are good for information, especially unbiased information but I think they're bad for the scores. A 75 would be average for most reviewers but my average is 85. This is how I write my reviews:
Facts: Content count, update frequency, highest video resolution and an in-general date for how long they have had that option, if they have pictures and if they're downloadable, my tested download speed, number of models, race/shape of models. Type of content like solo, hardcore, etc.
Sort of facts: Potential recycling, if things are offensive (subjective word but if it's offensive to me it's a sort of fact). The site's ethics in billing.
Not facts: My opinions about a site's webmaster being stubborn and my score.
I always have tried to give a person a list of facts for them to focus on those and say, "I don't care what he scores it, I would love this content!" Works the opposite way too.

It is understandable that sites you review get fairly high scores. These are sites you chose to join with your vast experience. Unless there was an unpleasant surprise, the score should be fairly high. If you reviewed sites at random, lower scores would be expected.
There are literally thousands of sites I have been tempted to join over the years, but have not joined because of deficiencies from bad "tours" or no tours at all to questionable billing practices. If I had joined them anyhow I bet my scores would be dramatically lower.

REPLY TO #1 - exotics4me :
Ever notice how movies that you know got bad critic reviews actually have pretty good reviews on Netflix or Amazon? That's because the people reviewing like the genre or subject or cast, chose to watch the movie and in most cases actually paid for them and THEN chose whether they liked it, 1-5 stars. So there is a known psychology about why you might rate a site higher than a reviewer. You wanted to go there and you paid for it. My average site rating is 81.1. Why would I want to sign up for a site that rated less? (Unless it was a new site or I wanted to visit it to write a review...or it had a particular model that I liked...)
What I think is interesting is when PU reviews differ significantly from TBP reviews or when, occasionally, TBP misses some key aspect of a site that makes it better or worse. At the end of the day, TBP writess professional reviews and gets revenue from referrals. Reviewers at PU, although we do occasionally get rewarded for our reviews in the weekly drawings, generally are not professionals and don't have anything to gain from our reviews other than letting people know the good and bad about sites. As the cyber porn Neighborhood watch, I'm not sure anyone is really expecting our reviews to be spectacular, just honest.

This reminds me of the statistic that says 75% of Americans think they are smarter than average and that 80% think they are Democrats..... Good to know that so far we are honest with others and ourselves here at PU. :-)

I don't think my reviews are any better or worse than most other reviewers here, but like a lot of regulars I do take them seriously and put some effort into them. I'm not alone in this, because there are a lot of good reviewers here, but I appreciate reviews that are detailed and objective. I don't mind low or high scores as long as they are explained and justified.
As for objective, I recall that last summer marcdc1 reviewed Kink Men even though he's a straight guy. I think that is exactly what I mean when I say I prefer objective reviews. Kink Men was included in his Kink membership and it could use a review so he did it. He didn't have to like the porn to write an objective review. I thought that was a fantastic thing for him to do.
