I have been criticial of this too and I'm not sure what the admins can do about it. If the person really loves the site and can't think of any way it could improve I suppose we have to accept that as an honest opinion. I would argue that it hurts the site more than it helps because people won't take a review of 100 seriously. Perhaps I can join the site at some point to offer my fair evaluation and I encourage others to do so as the average of scores will eventually even things out. Hopefully after more reviews are done the average will balance everyone's views of the site, but for now I guess we'll have to accept that members who really like the site will use their platform here to express that opinion...that is the American way. :)

DpornGuy asked, "...but it's a softcore site most ly right?"
If you look at the replies to the comment by user "exemplar67" (just below your comment) you'll see that the webmaster of the site answered the question about the site being softcore.
In her words, "...there is no hardcore sex content on godsgirls. it is a softcore erotica community."
Hope that helps.

If it helps to know, we've kicked this one around quite a bit ourselves. On the one hand, we suggest (in our terms and FAQ) against one-sided reviews. But on the other hand, we must be mindful that if *we* criticize those we see as one sided, it may unduly discourage users from sharing their opinions and we certainly don't want to do that.
We touched on this issue in a recent User Poll (9-Feb-07) and found the users who responded were pretty much split in their opinion as well.
Because of the nature of the PornUsers site, with the exception of outright spam, we're trying to take a hands-off approach to users Reviews and Comments. We want to avoid being seen as censoring the comments or replies. While we'd hope all users would offer fair, well balanced, and unbiased remarks, we also understand that this is not always the case. I think you'll find that sites which work to build a strong sense of community have especially loyal members. That in itself is considered a major plus by many.
Over the long run, we feel certain that as the number of reviews grow, one-sided reviews (good or bad) will be balanced out. We're also relying on our users' good judgement to determine which comments have merit and which are less than helpful. Towards that end, we're working on a new feature that'll allow users to rate the perceived quality of reviews. But I can't say more about that just yet.
Ultimately users just need to be mindful that *everything* they read here is simply someone's opinion. Some you may agree with, some you may not. In the end, you will form your own opinions about the sites you join. And of course when you do, we hope you'll share them here for the benefit of your fellow users.

It is good to know all that Khan and it will eventually balance out. These are the growing pains of a new site and I'm sure ways to deal with it will appear over time or even take care of themselves. Thanks for letting us know what's going on behind the scenes!

initially when we found out that we had received a link from thebestporn.com our instinct was to be polite and link back to them. we hadn't thoroughly looked over the FAQ and some of our site members came and made reviews. i am sorry that you feel that the reviews are one-sided and i apologize for any confusion that the reviewers may cause but they are still reviews from people who have thoroughly used our site and the link from our site to tbp was promptly removed when we realized what was happening. we apologize on behalf of our error and our overzealous members. we do hope that anyone who uses our site finds the same enthusiasm that our other members have found haha.

The situation is quite understandable and in the past I might have done the very same thing. I'll definitely stop by the site sometime soon to see for myself. I really do appreciate you letting your voice be heard which is just another awesome thing about PU!

Glad to see it cleared up. It is a shame though that none of the 100% reviewers bothered to stick around and add a few reviews of their own. Might have been nice to see what else they were into.

That's actually a good point and I would have liked that too. I like these "alt" sites, but why do all the girls have to be so skinny? :)
