I voted other. I just can't see telling anyone that their opinion or understanding of numbers is worse than mine. What I would like to say though is this. When I first joined, I noticed the score key, 90-100 said "best of class". I have written most of my reviews with that in mind.
For example, I rate Eve Angel's solo site a 97, there are few people that based on sheer numbers could disagree that her site is the best solo site on the internet. She has over 2 years of daily updates, $15 a month, and 75% or so of the material is of her. Which to me is the definition of a solo site. Where as her General Entertainment sister site Mya Diamond has much more friends content than Eve's has. So with Mya being the only real competition based on numbers, quality, price, I rate Eve a 97, Mya a 93.
Both of those scores are higher or as high as my score for Twistys, PixandVideo, ClubSandy and 1byday, but that doesn't mean I think Eve's solo site is better than those. It means for what Eve's site is, a solo site, it is the best. But how could anyone possibly compare a site that has less than 20 models to a site that has hundreds?
I don't see Twistys, P&V, CS or 1by, being that much better than the other, so I rate all 4 a similar score, all 4 over 90, but not in the high 90s since I don't think one stands out when compared to the others. One more comparison, I scored Pier and Euro Glamour Girls over those 4 I just listed, but I don't think they are better, I just think they are the best in the glamour group. See what I mean?
It would be like comparing an economy car to a sports car, the sites have a niche they compete against. You wouldn't compare a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes, instead a Toyota Corolla to a Honda Civic. Maybe that is just me, but I would really expect to see more high scores if we are supposed to grade on this type of curve.
Maybe I'm just confused? Wouldn't be the first time!

After reading lots of reviews, I'm very impressed in how much information I get (and important warnings!) from almost all of the reviews. Grading scales are always subjective, and even my numbers would vary as my mood might change from week to week, but all in all I appreciate almost all of the great reviews I read.

I answered this poll question from the perspective of "do the scores typically match the reviews?" Like exotics, I am reticent to tell someone whether their opinion is right or wrong. However, if you are rating a site with a 95, it had better be a darn good site and you should be able to defend that score in your review. Conversely, if a site is so terrible that it scores in the 50's, you should be able to explain that, too.
I have found that the reviews are very useful and, for the most part, reflective of the point scores that the reviewer gave out. Like Jay, I also really appreciate the warnings for sites, especially the marginal sites that I'm not sure about joining.
Since there are so many different ways to intrepret it, I look forward to seeing more replies to this poll.

Most of the reviews are really good but....
Once awhile you see short reviews with no really explaining why they rated the site like they did.Im talkin about onesided reviews. But most reviews here have more information than some other reviews sites iv been to. And the amazing thing is were doing this for free. Im very glad this exist thank you Bestporn.com :) And I agree with exotics4me to compare single sites with network ore dvdsites. Comparing a Dvdsite with network doesnt make any sense for me ether...

I'd have to say that the majority of the reviews are very good and extremely well written.
For me, a good review is one that is fairly detailed, clearly outlines the pro's and con's of the said site and makes a logical, well-informed conclusion.
Also, it's got to be written in good English.
There's a few reviews that seem to be written in "SMS talk" which I personally find annoying to read.

Like others have said - if a review goes into any real detail about the good, the bad and the ugly about a site, I think the score they give is pretty much right on the money - even if it's not about a site I'd consider joining.

The good thing about many reviews good or bad is that you get a better idea if you'll enjoy a site.
I prefer an honest review but many details. Generic reviews don't help someone decide.

I voted "too varied to say", which, to my mind, is as it should be. There are some reviewers who have very detailed analytical reasoning, ala Exotics. There are other reviewers who don't seem to be analytical at all, they just want to give a boost to a site that they like or hate on a site that has bothered them for one reason or another.
Luckily for all of us, there are more active reviewers in the first category than the second.

I voted too lenient. I see it as were paying partrons to these places and we have a right to tell what we think about them.
To be honest, (Well ok Im a solo freak and video only) seeing things in my setting. If they were actually resturants and the equivelency of the video people were equal to that of the chef in the resturant. Most would be out of business.
Its not that hard to find womem or girls that would be interested in doing a solo. The hard part (looking at available sites offering solo videos) is being professional enough (yes and this goes for the amature sites too) to get the video work done properly.
It almost makes me angry when I see a beautiful girl going for her all in a solo and the video guy is getting a shot of the toy... or hear her say shes cumming and see the camera shot go to her tits or something stupid like that.
I find it strange that out of all the sites on here noone is 100% satisfied with any of them that I know of. Does this mean theyre doing something wrong.....in my opinion hell yeah!
Some have video updates everyday....a lot have them 3 or 4 times a week. You mean out of all that snatch being posted they cant produce a video a week to satisfy the average (well I would say if you post on this site youre a little more then average porn user) patron?
I say givem hell until they give us what we want!

The people who spend cash on these sites are going to write exactly what they think. The shills are easy to spot, the real reviewers will let you know if they were happy they spent the money, or disappointed. It's as simple as that. I think they are right on the money.

I put to varied to say. Most do a good job with the reviews, some do a pretty poor job.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the quality of the reviews here and I hope I've contributed something to what the site has become. Yes, there are some poor reviews, most often by new users, but I have watched many members here improve drastically over time. That's why this site is great and why it will continue to be so in the future.

This is a really good poll!! I voted other because I really can't answer the question right on the money!! Everyone is entitled to their opinion and their way of expressing it!!
My way of expressing it gets me in trouble with staff at PornUsers all the time, especially with Khan!!
I just recently got denied a review for not being sufficient enuf!! I don't know if it's because of the way I complain or if it just wasn't the right kind of focus or main ideas of the website, so I will attempt to modify the review and re-submit!!
However, if I can get "ALL" of you guys to at least agree with me on anti-jackoff cumshots and at least help me get this message to all porn industries around, I will never complain about another facial again, I PROMISE YOU GUYS THAT!! It's because I really sincerely think a porn video should never have their men beat the crap out of their meat in order to shoot their load!! Pussy should always make a man damn near climax, and then when he can't handle it anymore, he pulls out and shoots, NOT JACK OFF FOR 8 YEARS AT WARP SPEED THEN SHOOT!! MY GOSH!!

REPLY TO #9 - Douggie :
YES DOUGGIE!! POUND THEIR ASSES UNTIL THEY SUBMIT!! Why "DO" they do shit like that?!!
The only way that we will get our point across to these industries is to attend siminars like the La Erotica and voice our opinions, or actually submit comments and suggestions to the actual company and/or website!!
Unfortunately, I don't know how to send comments/suggestions or E-mails directly to those websites... I REALLY WISH I DID!! That's why I said I need you guys help in doing this because you guys seem to be more experienced in this shit!!

REPLY TO #11 - nygiants03 :
I do a poor job and love it!! I am not here to lie!! If I see bullshit, I will try my best to express that professionally!!
I don't understand half the shit that goes on in porn!! I am a natural man, I like natural porn!!
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so here's mine:
I am not a toy fan!! I want to see a man fuck a woman's love hole cuz I will imagine that's my dick in that hole!! I do not have a rubber dick connected to my nutsack and will never attach on!! In most cases, on the TV/computer screen, you will mostly see the girl and the pussy/dick action down there!! That's why I say I cannot stand seeing more than one dick on one chick!! THAT'S JUST WAAAAAY TOO MUCH MEAT FOR ONE LUNCH PERIOD!!
And like I said B4, if any man, and it doesn't just have to be in porn, has to beat the holy shit out of his meat in order to cum on a woman's face, ass, tummy, tits, whatever... Either you need some Horny Goat Weed, or relax on the sex or something!! I just don't want to see that on my television set!!

I read "reviewers" to mean porn reviewers everywhere that I've read. The tone too often gives away a lack of objectivity. There's too much "happy talk." Of course this isn't always true, but it's a tendency that annoys me.
TBP reviews, however, do clue you in to deficiencies while trying not to sound too negative. If a TBP reviewer isn't really impressed by a site, I move on.
Still, if something about a site sucks, why not just say so?
