It's been my experience that certain TBP reviewers aren't very good at identifying whether a porn scene is exclusive or leased material and by default often say that a site has exclusive content when the opposite is true. In the case of Passion HD. The review doesn't mention that the content is exclusive. Only that it is in HD. Now I think that it would have been nice to mention in the cons that the content is not exclusive and porn pro members should be careful as they may already own many of the videos available on this site but they didn't and the great thing about PU is that people like you can inform others on that little bit on important info.

I always read the TBP reviews but a disadvantage that they have (and I'm sure that this is the same of any review site, of any product) is that they aren't long-term customers. I rely on the TBP members who spend a longer time at the site over multiple memberships to find the real weaknesses at a site. Take download limits, for example. I don't fault the TBP reviewers for not finding a limit (provided that it isn't really low) because as a reviewer they're less likely to use the site as a real customer. If it's a snowy weekend and that new site I joined has a 100GB limit then I'll find it and report it. A reviewer, who is a more casual site user, would likely not find a 100GB limit.
I don't think that the TBP reviews are less objective than the user-based ones. They're likely more objective. But as a commercial review site they just don't have the time to spend on a site that a PU member has.
As for not flagging that scenes aren't exclusive, I really can't fault them for that either. Some of the PU regulars are encyclopedias of porn and I rely on those members for some of that information.

My feeling is that if you're a porn review site that has a user-review site that you created as an addendum to your own reviews, and you don't use information that has been provided by the users, you're missing something. It's not like this site SOMETIMES reposts scenes from Porn Pros.
They have only posted ONE scene in many months on this site that is not a repost. To not include that in a review is a major "miss" in my book, especially when you have been handed that information to use.

Hey guys! Sorry for the delay in a response here, but I definitely found your comments interesting.
In many ways, you guys hit the nail on the head. We look at anywhere from 1-3 sites a day, and while that's a good thing to let us see a lot of sites and content to help formulate review opinions, it makes us much less of an expert on any individual site.
Even worse, to try to keep things impartial, we do our best to avoid reading any other review sources before writing a review. This could include other review sites, our own reviews, your user reviews, or (in my case) even my old reviews from years ago. I try to go in with a fresh mind and look at a site as it relates to today's changing porn world.
The idea of amending our reviews based on your guys' info is definitely a good one. I'm not sure how to implement it perfectly, especially if there's just a single comment on something like exclusivity (what if they're wrong?). It's definitely a no brainer if there were several points made about something.
I'll talk with Rick and see what we can figure out. If there's a way we can put in a quick check of the PornUsers reviews at some point into the workflow, even when it's just writing our site facts, I think it could be beneficial in situations like this! It's just a matter of finding balance and not believing/listing every little piece of info we find, though in situations like this, it's pretty clear.
You can always submit an error report on our review page to flag something to our attention right away as well, if it's a pressing concern that you want to make sure gets seen within a day or so :)

REPLY TO #4 - Spencer :
Fact-checking is always important - just because someone claims that all vids are repeats doesn't make it a fact. In this case, it's easy to confirm. Just look at the vids posted on Porn Pros for the models being posted on this site and it's easy to see that they are the same vids.
It would be up to us to make an issue like this a specific comment in order for you guys to see it. I can't imagine that you would possibly have the time to read every review to find such facts - but taking a look at the recent comments on a site to see if there is anything that stands out could enable you to catch a major issue.
