Haha. Dont worry, I am sure they will get it fixed for you. I am not a perfectionist, shown very easily by more porn collection organization. I have stuff scattered everywhere, although it is betting a little better. I guess I am usually more worried about getting my stuff to work right and when I see something little at a free site I do not put much worry on it. Of course if I had all my stuff in order I might be more willing to give others a hard time! :)

Sure it isn't a big deal, but as a perfectionist I prefer everything to be in order :-).

I do not usually look to much at the scores. I feel that at times they are weighed one way or another too much by people who are biased either direction.

Hopefully he sees his name and says "hey thats me!" I guess it really is not a big deal though, I did not even know the feedback history page was there until you mentioned it.

Anyway, glad I could make it make sense for you.

Sure, no problem, I just was a bit confused about different numbers on different pages :-).

As mentioned, there are several factors that go into the score. I have asked the tech guy to look at it as to why the score isn't the same on both pages. My guess is, one page is using the new system and one is still using the old weighting of scores. But that's a guess. He'll be able to tell if it's a glitch and fix whatever is needed.

Thx for the heads up.

Thanks for explanation; as for talking to Khan - he reads it anyway (to approve), so if he agrees it's a problem, he will probably fix it sooner or later.

To asmith12 (86):

This is something that perhaps you should talk to Khan about. The one review was a year old and thus does not count as much toward the final score. You are correct though, the feedback history page is not showing everything.

Here it is:

The old review is a year old, thus it counts as 25%
The newer review counts as 100% still

Newer review score times 4 plus the older review score and divide all by 5 since there is five parts to the score. Much like calculating a students GPA

95*4+90=470
470/5=94 ---the displayed score

I hope this helps a bit. They do need a line on the feedback page to count the number of older reviews.

I've read that, but shouldn't it also be reflected on "Feedback History" page? Click on "Feedback History" link - it shows very detailed calculation (obviously aiming to explain how the rating was calculated), but end-result is DIFFERENT from the rating shown on the main page.

A few weeks ago PU staff sent use a newsletter. The newsletter explained that as a review gets older it becomes less of an impact on the scoring of a site. So if a review was a year old it would not be weighted the same as a review that was three days old.

The point is that an old review may still hold some merit, but the newer review would be much more trustworthy (assuming all else equal) than the older one simply because the older one can not account for any changes over the last year or whatever.

This change was made at the same time as they began to allow us to update reviews. Which is nice because many of us like to revisit sites every six months or whatever. Now we can keep everything a little more up to date.

It was a good catch, so this proves that you are at least half paying attention. You can read about these changes on the bottom of the homepage in the news section. I believe it is the most current newsletter.

It's most likely from the users who just do the rating without posting a comment or review.

Rating calculation problem?

PU says that rating for TheTrainingOfO is 94, but there are only 2 reviews, one is 95, and another is 90, so I expect it to be 92.5. Ok, I know that there are ratings and so on, so I went to "Feedback History" and found that's it's 92.5 there. So it's 94 on site page, and 92.5 in "Feedback History". Not that it really matters much, but which one is correct?

Update to my 2007 Review

I reviewed this site in August 2007 and have since rejoined. All of the positives that I noted are still applicable. As for the negatives, there really aren't any. If you like this this kind of kink, then I've yet to find a better site than this. Everything from Kink.com is high quality.

This time I did have some membership issues - they were my own making. I had several different usernames from past memberships and current memberships at other Kink sites. It caused a few problems. Their support staff was quick to respond and fix the problem, and they even recognized the problem before I did and simplified everything under one username. Excellent service!

One new addition that I quite like is the use of physical exercise as a means of training. Seeing a naked girl do jumping jacks, squats, etc. is really quite sexy within the context of the site. Probably the best example of this is Madison Young.

The bottom line remains unchanged: if BDSM stuff is to your liking, then this is an excellent site and an even better value than it was last year because of the increased content.

Thanks for the update. When I wrote the comment back in August 2007, the site had just launched. I will look at it again since it sounds like there has been a lot of growth.

Currently it's not that small that it used to be, and IMHO is currently worth the visit if you're interested in the idea.

Very Small Site

I found this site on BehindKink.com and took a look. It has a lot of potential for those interested in S/M. Unfortunately, it is a new site and is still very small.

While the site follows models through 3 or 4 days of "training," the video updates for each model come weeks apart. I really don't like how they split up the updates. I understand it, from a business perspective, as it keeps people subscribed to see the end of a particular model's training, but I think it is a bad policy.

I might give this site a try once it grows in size, but the updates policy makes me think twice.
