Not perfect, but better than average. I actually get a competitive feeling and want to write reviews that won't be easy to top.
But I've had my flaws, especially not paying as much attention to the videos as I do to the photos. I've done a little better sometimes recently, but if another reviewer who's more interested in vids does better than me in that regard, I say more power to him/her.
A vid fan will probably have more experience and knowledge about videos than I will and will be better able to "talk the talk."

Bloody hell, why would I post them if I was just going for average - or ::gasp:: below? I therefore foresee this poll being horribly skewed toward the top bit.
Certainly each review is a learning process and I think one improves a little each time, measurable or not - still, it's just not real likely that we are going to judge our selves in an outwardly negative light - well, do so and be public about it. I guess maybe some of those blokes that never post a reply might, but even then - do people really, knowingly post rubbish reviews?

I try my best to see what others would like to hear about reviews and then incorporate them to the new reviews I write, like pictures I don't ever download pictures for the web site, but other people may want to know about pictures options of the website. I hope with every review I make I get better at telling other users what they want to know.

I'm wondering if there will be somebody admitting his reviews are below average :-).

I'll call myself average. I don't work as hard as some of the great reviewers here, but I do share the web-site information that interests me. I could do better and research more, but I'm more interested in just sharing, especially web-sites that don't already have reviews.

I post average reviews brecause I'm too lazy to work real hard checking every pixel, but I do review unreviewed web-sites and share the info I'm interested in. I'd rather have sharing of information by porn users than professional style reviews that see the trees but miss the forest. That's why I read porn USERS more than professional reviews, even TBP reviews.

Ditto. EXACTLY the way I see it too.

REPLY TO #6 - Jay G :
While I honestly didn't expect anyone to basically say what you did, you bring up an important strength of Porn Users as a resource on a whole. There are so many reviewers, with so many tastes and interests, that there are reviews, even if they are real quick ones, for lots of very tiny niche sites. Sites that aren't worth the time of the big review sites yet, but here someone pops in and gives you a glimpse at what you are getting - and that can really save you from wasting 30 bucks.
Basically, the point is, that while some reviewers take quite awhile preparing the review (my average review writing time is 1.5 hours, not counting the "research" time spent prior on the site) and others just write up a quick opinion style overview - any review is better than no reviews, even if it is as simple as: "Rubbish, only 10 videos."

I say that mine are around average, I do like to put the technical specs in. Not everyone does this, so I am a little above average on that point. I am trying to get them to look a little better, be more organized, and develop a style.

Well, they say admitting to having a problem is the first step. :)

I first thought: This is a strange poll.
But after reading the inputs here - it's just fine - or honky dory, I think they say in England.
Of course Droolers reply is ok. But his reviews are not just ok - they are great - among my top-favorites. Vids or not.
And then Toadsith:
"Bloody hell, why would I post them if I was just going for average..."
I dig that.
And, man. I agree with Jay G: I too read and write reviews to get og try to give good advise to fellow users.
I rely a lot upon the reviews at PU - more than other reviews.
Hope we all keep up the good work - even if some of us "oldtimers" once in a while get fed up with "nothing new" and all the shit hitting the fan...trying to grap our money.

I don't waste time comparing myself to others. The only thing I hope is that I can help someone discover a great site or maybe even more important to avoid a disaster. In return that's what I look for in other reviewers.

That's about how I feel as well. I'm not out to get a Pulitzer Prize, I just want to help other P. U. members get the most for their money, just as I do.
Frankly, this site has saved me a bunch of money and frustration because the reviews, both by TBP staff and P. U. members, really tell the story without any "hype." Better yet, I've found some terrific sites that I would never have found without TBP/PU.

I like my reviews to give an idea of what to expect from a site, and if it's worth spending the money. I'm like you, I hate wasting my money on crappy sites. I haven't found too many new sites, but I've found some great deals and for me avoided joining some really bad
sites. Keep up the good work.
