So, just to make clear, the admin staff at 21st Sextury gave you free access based upon your review? If so, doesn't it seem like they're trying to "buy" a good review from you?

I am familiar with the policy. While I feel that I got access to a network site and not a free membership, I don't think that challenging the limits of the policy is necessary.
I have also edited my comment to that effect, since I should have stated that in the beginning.

I understand how you could view it that way. I also got a comment from Khan (PU Webmaster) to that idea.
I don't believe that I received a free membership, since it is actually part of the network. The web admins simply added this site to my network access earlier than usual.
However, I also understand that it could be viewed as getting a free membership. Therefore, I have not and will not review this site.
At the end of the day, based on my conversations with the admins, I would like to think that they are giving me access in order to satisfy a customer, not to bribe me into a positive review. I feel that way because:
1. I did not change my review or comment of DP Overload, the review which started my conversations with the admins.
2. I cancelled my subscription prior to writing my initial review. I never offered and they never proposed that I re-join their service.
The bottom line is that if a website offers poor customer service, I would make sure that members of PornUsers know about it. Similarly, if a website offers customer service above and beyond, I want everyone to know about that, too.

That's cool. I went back and read your review on DP Overload after I posted my reply so I understand a bit better the goings on here. Thanks for clarifying the situation.

We recently did a little rewording of our policy on not allowing reviews based on free access.
The exact wording is now:
5. Reviews may NOT be based on LIMITED Trials or FREE Access to a site unless such free access is a normal part of a PAID subscription to a network. Users MAY NOT contact webmasters / site owners asking for free access for the purposes to do a review.
See https://www.pornusers.com/terms.html for full terms

Yeah, that is different than the way I remembered the policy. This was the first time that I have had this situation happen, so I'll keep the policy in mind should it arise again.

With all the controversy over when reviews can be made for free access to a site, the more important point here, in my opinion, is that they stepped up to do something to try to make you happy, in fact they gave you two choices, which definitely qualifies as good Customer Service and I agree that's worthy of a comment here.
