We have thought about this also, Maybe the person posting the pictures should have the power to remove comments found to be offensive, not just leave it to PV to police the comments. If for some reason PV disagrees with the poster then put the comment back! Or do a picture page of all the people that have been posted for the day so that if these people don't like a certain poster they can see who it is and not even go to it.
Hey i had wrote more but it erased it, dont feel like rewriting it now. sigh....
hey "eyeballs " I have posted my self nude here and it was thanks to a few lovely ladies here and I even went as far as to try to post a video showing the ladies how I enjoyed camming with them but they vids wern't allowed and thanks to me they are now allowing male only videos as well. now as for the rude comments yes anyone making rude comments are shooting them selves in the foot and also making it so less people want to post so we all loose out in the long run. I know that my wife Mrs_ferret and I have slowed down on posting because I had to report bad messages on every post we have put up. the real bad thing is there are a few that leave real bad comments saying to stop posting yet they take the time out to look at every post and make bad comments but by hitting every post it tells me that they like what they see but are scared to admit it so they have to put it down instead
The answer is in the question: Who are these assholes? Why do the assholes post these comments? Etc. Assholes are assholes. This is the only true germane fact. Asking anything other than rhetorical questions is a waste of time. If they had a reason for perceived asshole-like behavior, an answer that I have no obligation to accept just as he/she has no obligation to give to me in the first place, I think frequency and the ratio of asshole comments/all comments tells the story. An example of this would be if I had an entrant in the top ten. I will give every entry that pokes it’s nose into the top ten a one. A one that has no statistical significance except as a tiebreaker. I would assume all entrants act in their own self-interest. Some might consider that assholish and some will understand the reasoning behind the action. I don’t really vote that often. Usually just when friends have entries. This is because it’s not up to me to judge the never-ending contest that a PV creates. If you do a stint as a PV contribution commentator, a commentator that must make comments about each picture (not just the submission in general), you will understand not voting. But I digress. The bottom line?
Nothing justifies asshole comments. Nothing nice to say doesn’t mean you have to say something bad. In plain humanese? Shut the fuck up.
Don’t like what I say? Fuck off.
Thanks for your time.
I'm sorry lookalot but I have to disagree with you. There is no need for a wall of shame, thumbs down or any type of notation on a members profile page marking them as "rude".
Negative comments are simply UNACCEPTABLE!!! They hurt a lot of people & should not be tolerated by the site. There should be only one consequence for such insensitive behavior, and that should be termination of membership, whether paid or unpaid.
Again, there would be no site if members didn't participate in the chat room,
post pictures or cam. So, who is more important to keep as members, the jackasses with the rude/nasty comments or the members who actually enjoy the features of the site??? Really does one need to think about the answer to that??
I don't think so.
We think the poster should have the power to delete rude post, they should be allowed to police there own postings and if PV thinks that a comment was deleted unfairly then they can over rule it and put it back. Fact is the people that post here should not be victimized by the "lookers" period.
Well from now on, if we are looking at a post and we see rude comments we will just REPORT them !!! IF ___WE ALL___ START TURNING THEM IN INSTEAD OF LEAVING IT UP TO THE CONTRIBUTER. Maybe if enough of us do start reporting rude comments it may help. We have never done this before, But Started doing it today!!
Hiwayman, I was so busy responding to lookalot's post that I didn't even read yours until now.
Giving everyone in the top 10 a 1 in the voting, in my opinion, is no better than leaving a rude/nasty comment. So in your opinion if it's not one of your own posts or the post of a friend, they all suck no matter how fantastic the post may be??? That is just f**ked up!! And in my opinion, no better than "rigging" the contest. I guess what you are really saying is that your posts & those of your friends can't win on their own merit!!
I have my favorites also. However, when I vote my favorites get a 10 & I vote no lower than an 8 for the rest. If I look at a post & think WTF was this person thinking, which has happened a few times, I move on. I don't vote or leave a comment. I see no need to be mean to people or to intentionally lower their scores.
so true but some ppl. just dont learn how to act on the these types of sites or consider others feelings...

Some quick math. If an entry gets 5000 9s, it’s average score is 9. If an entry gets 4999 9s and one 1 (that I have given in an attempt to rig the vote), it’s average score is 8.9984. If an entry gets 4999 9s and one 8 (a pitiful attempt at redemption after admitting I give ones), it’s average score is 8.9998.
Notice both of those numbers are less than 9. Notice that the score of 1 vs. 8 is statistically insignificant in 5000 votes. Notice in my post that I said it was a tiebreaker at best, a tiebreaker I would give to myself or a friend without a second thought. Notice I said some would understand this as a voting strategy and some wouldn’t. Maybe you voted for the other candidate running against you for class office but I didn’t. I voted for myself.
You have obviously misunderstood (or chose to misrepresent?) my position on voting. If I say I choose not to vote, how does that turn into saying all the rest suck? I clearly stated that I don’t like to judge the entries. You clearly stated you do. So go ahead but don’t try to force me to rate all of the entries or infer that I don’t because they suck. Those are your words not mine.
Finally, your “guess” as to what I am saying is as off base as the rest of your interpretation of my post.. If the difference between 1st and 2nd place is .0002, I think both entries have made it on their own merits. What I am saying is that if given the chance to decide who wins, I will choose me or a friend. The site gives the option of voting 1 through 10, not just 8,9, or 10.
Giving a one is not the same as leaving a rude/nasty comment. One is a public slap in the face. One is a private judgment call seen only by the computer that tallies the votes and allowed by the rules of the contest. You can’t tell the difference between those 2 activities?
Hiwayman
There is only one way to interpret a voting scale. If 10 is the best, then 1 is the worst. I will reclassify the lower end from “sucks” to “worst”. And in your mathematics, you act like you are the only person voting a one. I look at all the posts, male & female, as well as the comments. I have seen quite a few people, all male I might add state in their comments that they are voting a 1 because they do not agree that you males or couples should be posting videos in the same section as the females. How about the ones who let you know they voted low because the poster didn’t show their face or they weren’t completely naked or they are looking at a post of a bbw & they prefer skinny.
The site runs contests based on voting. What are you voting on???? You should be voting on the content of the posts. Again, even if you are voting a 1 as a tiebreaker as you put it, you are still intentionally lowering someone else’s score. I’m sure you’re not the only person doing that, so yes it can affect someone’s score. I said that if you intentionally gave someone a 1 as your tiebreaker that was the same as saying the post sucked or leaving a nasty message. You can justify it anyway you want, but it all boils down to the scale, 10 is best 1 is worst.
And where in my post did I say you had to vote on every entry??? UMMMM nowhere!!! And I didn’t say I vote on every entry either. Like I said, if there is nothing nice to say, move on. You said that you do no like to judge the posts & that is fine. I chose to do so because they guys are always complaining that the females don't look at or vote for their posts.
Yes, the site does give the option of voting on a scale of 1-10. I have no problem if someone truly does not like a post & chooses to give it a 1. Again, my problem is giving it a 1 because it is in the top 10 & you don’t want it to win.
Now to quote you:
"Giving a one is not the same as leaving a rude/nasty comment. One is a public slap in the face. One is a private judgment call seen only by the computer that tallies the votes and allowed by the rules of the contest. You can’t tell the difference between those 2 activities?"
I see no difference between the two activities. You classify the rude/nasty comment as a public slap in the face. Well, I classify your “private judgment” as a slap in the face also. Would you be so quick to give out all those 1’s when the time came if they poster could see how you voted??
It's just childish to leave rude comments. Maybe some people need to grow up. If you don't like what you see,keep your mouth shut and move on until you find something you do like.
