Thank you for your post Gracie, it perfectly sums up what I wanted to say but maybe failed a bit, and adds very valid points. My English is not the best today and I had some trouble finding the right words.

The review system reminded me of this image in a way that you cannot force the same categories on each and every video (like dirty talking in a non-talking video or make up in an all-natural video). Putting aside that 90% of the categories right now are ridiculous of course.

Quick question: Does Manyvids allow a region/location block for the model?

Yes, you can block up to three countries and three states.
This limit is another silly thing on the generally awesome site.

 

[Rose]

I'm definitely not a fan of the new review system either, but I'm also not happy with the "intensity" description of the videos.....

How the heck am I supposed to pick the intensity of a tickling video?

I think you explained it perfectly too Just wanted to add my own examples and give weight to your argument. And yup that picture sums it up :thumbleft:

For reference I got confused over name changes in my last post so when I say "Evelyn" I meant AlisaMae :thumbleft:

@Katie_Meow Manyvids does do location blocking - it's one of their awesome features :-D

 

[JerryBoBerry]

Am I the only one who thinks the new full rating/reviewing system is awful and plain silly? I love the site itself but what you did with the reviews is just bad.

I agree it's way too complicated and really meaningless to so many of the videos. The wheel has already been invented for adult film rating systems. Hustler rates X-rated films from Totally Limp up to Fully Erect. Copy that simple system. It's all the average user needs to know and it works for every category of film.

 

[Kradek]

I didn't even look at the full review options. They give you the option for a quick review or a full review now. The quick review is just a star rating and a comment box.

Personally, I think even a star rating is more than is needed. When I've rated, I only rate five stars (I liked it) or nothing. What does a 4 star rating even mean? Does anyone rate 2 or 1 stars unless they are pissed off for some reason?

They also have hearts for videos for I guess the same purpose?

I generally agree that the site is doing most things OK. The blue banner at the top is fucking annoying (I have to close that every damn time???). Also the activity bar at the right is moronic and doesn't remember when you close it. I need to know every time I load a page that AwesomeModel or AwesomeMember just hearted 40 fucking videos? They still haven't fixed the shopping cart as well (it remembers previous purchases from visit to visit somewhat randomly).

 

[Gen]

:hello2: I also hate the new rating system, for all the reasons mentioned but also because frankly I don't want someone sitting down to analyze every detail like that. Idk, five stars or a thumbs up is fine, I can see the value in that. But I don't want some amateur film critic picking apart every irrelevant aspect of my work. Most girls are amateurs filming with their webcam by themselves, this just seems unnecessary.

 

[SaffronBurke]

Most of the categories to review don't apply to any of my vids. Dirty talking? Lingerie? Storyline? If I'm shooting a masturbation or anal vids, I start nude, shove a dildo in a hole, and attack my clit with a vibrator until I cum. That's just how I masturbate. I twitch and moan and sometimes sob, but I don't dirty talk unless I'm in a weird mood.

Now, as for my assorted fetish vids in which I get naked...

How is someone going to rate my sexual abilities after they watch me eat gummy bears, or prance around in heels?

Extralunchmoney has a simple thumbs-up/thumbs-down rating system, with a box to make comments in. That's pretty straightforward.

I have purchased other model's content, and while I like leaving reviews, all these questions to review something I fapped to is just overwhelming.

 

[ManyVids]

Thank you all so much for the feedback. None of your suggestions, comments or concerns are gone unnoticed. We will be having a meeting next week in regards to the review system and we will do our best to make necessary changes based on the feedback we have received.

In regards to vid intensity, we have made it optional when uploading a vid.

If there are any additional comments, questions or concerns feel free to contact help@manyvids.com

Can models see the cardholders name when purchasing a video ?

 

[curvyredhead]

I have this image of a professional/amateur porn critic (drinking starbucks, and on his cellphone of course) going on making abscure random reviews of our porn


"her buttox did bounce as she said it would, but we must ask ourselfs...did it bounce enough?"

 

[scarlettxbx]

Can you give some more information on these 'Marketing Tools'??

Majority of us already use twitter for promotion so to use it as a 'marketing tool' is pretty much common sense to us already

I echo what the other girls have said as well witht he 'Top selling MV girls' being at the top of the page are more likely to sell ever more while other girls are pretty much forgotten about

 

[Rose]

No, we can either see that it was a member or nonmember purchase, and if it was a member then we can see their username.

 

[housewifeswag]

I haaaaaate that "nonmembers" can purchase videos. That's my only huge hang up with this site that may have me leave.

Not too sure why this is an issue. We have a one click to purchase system which helps you sell more. This way the user doesnt have to sign up, create a fake email which they do a lot, simply to buy the content.
If you are worried about people who you dont want to access your content, you can simply block regions and even non members will not be able to purchase it.
There are a log of members who like to purchase anonymously, as they dont want to get hassled, or they dont want another of their favorite models see they bought from another girl.

We have blogs, a lot of social networks and affiliations with a bunch of promoters who will push forward our Articles that we write about our featured girls.
As for the TOP MV girls on the homepage, believe it or not, we had the last 100 girls that sold a vid there before. The main complaint from a lot of Girls from the forum was we are featuring girls who dont sell and we should promote girls who do (even some of the people who said that were talking about themselves...).
We know we cannot make every single person happy, but we are always here to listen and improve. As we do see often some of the TOP 20 of the site on the homepage due to a great performance the day before, but we also see quite often a MV girl who is not in the TOP 50 and had a great day prior.

It's an issue because of accountability to me. If my video gets shared, I'd at least like to have a record of who purchased the video. Non members remove that accountability and therefore I have no way of narrowing anything down or having any idea. I'm always most worried about my videos being shared. Not saying other sites don't have the same sort of process just voicing my hang ups with MV. Which was one thing.

Just curious. What good does that list do you?

Say you sell a video 50 times and it gets uploaded to some site. Are you going to contact all 50 of those people? That's pretty much the best way to be sure the other 49 of those paying customers get pissed off and never buy any of your videos ever again. And most likely they'd dump MV as a site to purchase from all together. I know for a fact if someone accused me of that I'd drop all ties with them so fast it would make their head spin.

And the one guy that actually did upload your video? Simply creates a new dummy account with a fake email and purchases with a prepaid card while signed on with a VPN, then continues to do what he will anyway.

Personally I'm a little distressed MV is even letting models know which members buy their videos in the first place. Places like mfc and chaturbate we're tipping the model directly so she obviously knows. Sites like MV we're paying for product sold by MV. So divulging that information to the model just smacks of invasion of privacy. Technically I can't say it's against their policy since the privacy policy portion of the terms of use page is completely empty.

So I guess I'm the opposite. Not only should anonymous video purchases be allowed, they should be mandatory for all purchases. Models don't need that info at all. This isn't Ebay where we pay the sellers directly. We're transacting business with MV.

Anonymous to the model that is, obviously doing business with MV is a different issue and they have the need.

 

[Gen]

The only info we get is your username, that seems pretty standard across all clip sites I've used! All it says is "Congrats! JerryBoBerry has purchased your video!" with the name and the price. I don't personally see that as an invasion of privacy but if you aren't a Manyvids member it just says something like "a non-member" has purchased your video. Neither reveal much info but if you want to buy anonymously that's how to do it!

We do agree with giving the user the option to be anonymous. For now you would have to logout and purchase. We are working on adding an anonymous feature so you dont have to do that.
As indicated below, we only display the username of the user who bought the vid if logged in. Nothing else.

uh no. I wouldn't message all 50 people. I also don't sell videos on MFC for tokens at the moment. There isn't a large amount of personal information shared when someone purchases a video, it's just your username. I still like having a record. I understand what you're saying and I understand that video sharing inevitably happens in this industry I was just giving my :twocents-02cents: .

When it comes to tracking down who uploaded your video, it's actually fairly easy if you keep all your records.

Say you sell one video 12 times and your video was uploaded yesterday at 4pm. Chances are the member that bought it at 1:13pm yesterday is the most likely culprit, especially if all of your other sales are on different days. Often, not always, members use the same moniker that they bought the videos with. If you know who is pirating your videos, you can get their thieving asses blocked from the site. On clips4sale, if you know for sure that a member is sharing your videos then you can report them with proof to support and get them blocked for life from purchasing from your store. Anonymity also runs the risk of them possibly using a stolen card or filing fraud, so if I get a chargeback then I can't hold anyone accountable and that means that thieving asshole just got my videos for free.

Personally, if someone wants to make a purchase anonymously then I don't need their money. If they have something to hide from me then they don't seem to be a very trustworthy purchaser and I don't feel comfortable letting them buy my videos.

If you report a user that has uploaded a vid on any tubesite from MV, anonymous or not, we will take down that vid and ban him. Banning a username to be honest is very easy to get around. We ban the IP (anonymous or not) and username (if not anonymous). Nobody is blocked for life, as a user can use a proxy to change their IP, and remake a new account using a 10 minute email service. We cover all chargebacks (unless we suspect the model is involved).

PS: 99% chargebacks happen to registered accounts, and not anonymous. Most frauding users want to look like a normal user so they dont get flagged. We have a pretty advanced system to track frauders and protect our MV girls. This is why we cover all chargebacks. Very rare to see in our industry

On Clips4Sale they block the card number, the name and address associated with the card used, the email used to purchase, and the ip used to make the purchase. Any future attempts to make a purchase with those things results in the purchase being prevented or immediately cancelled by the system. This was the direct response I received from support when speaking with them about it.

I couldn't give two craps about blocking an ip address since that's easy to change. I'm more concerned with blocking the card name and number used so that asshole can't ever purchase my services again.

We do the same as well if we notice bad behavior. The get blacklisted and can never buy under the email, CC number and email used.
Fraud and chargebacks are pretty much always a wide range of names and credit card numbers, IPs and emails...

I am currently uploading new pictures and videos to my profile on a DAILY BASIS, It is plastered all over my twitter page as well (where I have over 10K followers) but I am not selling ANYTHING

How are you supposed to make $$$$ on this site if no one is buying the content and you are only promoting the top selling girls?

Sorry you are experiencing that :/ I know it can be frustrating. We will be improving the search drastically to help our 200k members and daily traffic find the vids they want easier. Currently the search is too simple and we know this. Our next version will be very very customizable.

Are you at least getting sales from your existing fans? Sometimes if you have content spread across too many sites, your existing fans are used to your original site they got introduced to unless you tell them otherwise. :/

We get almost 11 million pageviews per month. After every preview play, we suggest to the user 9 other vids at random related to the vid he watched. We also display girls that are similar to the girls he has bought vids from on his profile. And, on top of that, on the vid page, we suggest similar MV girls that resemble or make same content as the Vid he is watching.
Besides the homepage, which to be honest is not the #1 most popular page on our site (Vid pages and profile pages are), we advertise a lot every single girl.

I would recommend to ensure you have good descriptions and 5 related tags. The more tags, the more chance your vid will land in searches. When we launch the next version of the search, you will have that much more visibility.

If we dont show the top 10 girls that sold on the homepage, what would you suggest instead? We are open to ideas.

I use full descriptions and as many tags as possible, my vidoes are only on 1 other site which is my escorting profile and is mainly accessed by Brits.

Again showing the top 10 sellers on the main page is letting everyone who ISN'T SELLING feel like they are being left behind and forgotten about because we are not getting the promotion we need we have to ask for it

 

[LioraVox]

I have a suggestion.

Coupon codes! And for the models to see if and which code was used for a purchase. That way models can have special sales for a holiday or something. And so that way we can see where our traffic is coming from, like a model can use a different code for twitter and for tumblr, and see where more of their clients come from

 

[ManyVids]

Definitely on our list! : We have a lot of cool features upcoming. We will keep you all posted!

"Have any juicy gossip? A hot news tip? Just spotted a famous Camgirl or Porn Star? Send us your pictures and videos with a small description."
NO. I am so incredibly disappointed by this. I am in a total tizzy right now. As far as I know this update is very new, because if I had seen this on your site I absolutely never would have joined.

As a camgirl I value my privacy and do not disclose my location, a user snapping a picture of me in public when I am off cam would violate that. I heavily discourage this. When I take photos of myself or send snapchat pics I do everything I can to ensure nothing in the background could identify my city or the identities of those I am with.


Seriously how could anyone think this is okay? There is no way this is just me.

Maybe I am misinterpreting this but if I were a member I might take it the same way I have - I can take pics of camgirls if I see them- it's okay!
