I think there's a lot of wasted time and money with people punting, and not reporting, on the same negatives/neutrals.
I totally agree and I think encouraging negatives and neutrals is of utmost importance. However, a helpful negative really doesn't need to be all that long at all (even less so than positives, which themselves don't need to be very long) so I think it's difficult to imagine that anything about the current review system puts people off. I lurked and leeched for a year before posting and the review system certainly didn't put me off. I was just lazy and selfish, pure and simple. People try to sugar coat it saying they're busy or whatever but the reality is they can't be arsed and don't care enough about helping others, otherwise they''d make time for it just like they do for their punting and all your other hobbies in life. The review system has very little to do with that.
You all have to remember as well, this site is free to use. Asking the admin to implement all these changes for nothing, just to appease newbies or non reviewers, is taking the piss I think!
It's not about appeasement, it's simply about encouraging more reviews and making easier for the benefit of everyone on here. However, I don't think it's a particularly great solution, as I'll explain below.
Most of the physical attributes are on Adultwank or VS anyway. I think you have had good intentions JayEZ2K and I've nothing against more reviews, the system you list isn't for me as it reduces it to a what is basically a shopping list. My reviews are fucking long and detailed, but I have my own style which is complex and maybe even pretentious, but hey that's how I like it.
Many of the physical attributes on AW are lies though (particularly age, dress size and cup size). On Vivastreet you only know the attributes if the WG writes them in the description and many don't or at least many miss out "key" attributes.
His system wouldn't stop you from writing long and detailed reviews in your style, as he's said you can still write whatever you want. However, I do think it would discourage such writing.
This is the Dutch site's system in the attached image, with four tabs with drop-down options, each tab for different aspects (looks, extras, etc), and then the fifth tab for writing:
Hidden Image/Members Only
While I don't think it's a bad idea, unfortunately, I'm not at all convinced that it will achieve the aim of encouraging more reviews or even making them quicker, even though I agree it seems like it would be easier when on your phone.
I do think it would make reviews more detailed and mean less things are forgotten however it's exactly this which I think would either put off potential reviewers or make reviews take longer. Looking at that image (for just tab 1 of 5 - even though presumably most tabs are shorter), even I find that a little intimidating. I'm an experienced reviewer and I put more detail about the WGs appearance than most punters on here but even I often struggle to remember details such as tattoos (as long as they're not covered in them), hair length (particularly if not short), piercings and height. Obviously that reflects on the fact that I punt quite a lot (so it's easy to get mixed up or forget) and I often don't care about such attributes but I'd be surprised if many others didn't struggle too. And for the avoidance doubt, I usually write short notes very soon after each punt to help me remember things.
Also, as others have pointed out the prescribed categories are likely to be very restrictive/not what the reviewer would like to say. This particularly applies to the silicone breast section - there are different types of boob job and implants and so I find it much better to describe them myself than to just say "yes or no" to fakes/"silicone". It also applies to the age category, which prescribes rather large ranges, e.g. 20-25 or 25-30 (I would've thought most guys would want a little more specificity than that even though it's just a guess). Also, just saying "yes" or "no" to tattoos and piercings isn't that helpful - there's a huge difference between a girl with a small ankle tattoo and one nipple piercing than a girl covered in both. While it's true that many WGs forget to update or include key attributes, when they do, they don't usually lie about their height, hair colour, hair length and any tattoos and piercings so this just seems like extra effort for the punter, especially since they're often best off writing a description for most of those things (including hair colour).
In addition, your system doesn't include specific locations (other than just a city), info about the venue, comms or time keeping/rushing. Another a key thing that's missing is the accuracy of pictures/comparison between the pictures on her profile and what she looks like in person/reality. Just having an option for "as expected" or above or below is nowhere near as good as a written description.
On that note, many guys are poor judges of dress size (although I suppose physique is better in that regard even though it is a little subjective) and cup size (although I do think a guess is better than nothing in most cases). The age category is also hard to judge, especially if you have to guess a specific number rather than range. Since some people cite struggling to know how to rate a review (positive, neutral or negative) as a reason for failing to review (and that's genuinely been a reason in the past for me too - although it was that and being lazy or forgetting) so I dread to think how many people would give up when they look at your system (which also asks for an overall rating out of 5).
Having just looked at reviews on that site, I see you also have to rate each service out of 5 (another headache and actually takes longer than just describing it - especially if you take it seriously and want to make the rating meaningful so punters can reliably compare different WGs at a glance - not an easy task hence I stopped giving out overall ratings out of 10 a long time ago). Also, for example there's only "kiss" and "tongue kissing" (both rated out of 5), that's all well and good but what does that mean - is 5 star tongue kissing DFK? Basically, people will interpret it in different ways (some of which the reviewer might not intend), that's always the case with any review but describing it exactly how you want minimises that risk.
Basically, if you want the review to be clear, accurate and helpful, you actually have to spend quite a lot more time using your system than just writing whatever you want. While people are a lot more likely to forget something currently, other punters can always just ask if they want to know something.
Using a separate site sounds like a faff. Being able to search by physical trait on here would be good but that would definitely mean effort from admin. You could just create a template and post it on the PuntingWiki (e.g. on the guide to writing reviews page) and then if people want, they can just copy and paste that when they start their review to form the outline structure although of course that wouldn't make it much easier to post using your phone.
Having said all that, since using your system would be entirely optional, it shouldn't put anyone off but likewise I doubt it will be picked up by many members. And those who do use it are likely to be people who often contribute and mention all/almost all of those things in their reviews anyway. The worst case scenario is actually that people start using your template but then write much less of a written description than they normally would have (because they don't think they need to), thereby making the quality of their reviews go down!
You may think that it's simple. But just bra size alone would require options different from the EU (they have different sizing). So you have to have options that are 28 to 40. AA to K. So that's 7 back sizes and 12ish cups. Combine the two and it's a lot of options just on that alone.
Then dress size, is it a 6 or 8, or a 6 to 8, 12 or 14, or a 12 to 14. Just be basics make it not as easy. There are too many drop down options for bra and dress sizes that exist.
Easier to just pop in your impressions (takes the same time as a drop down unless they're 28AA size 0). So not really worth admit putting in the work adding options. If you dearly want them, then feel free to give admin the cash for the time he would spend getting the coding to work.
What others have doesn't mean it's easy to apply on another site. I can guarantee you that all those options aren't simple to code. It's why so many people charge for it.
To be fair, most people don't care about chest size (or don't even know that's what the number means) so usually just cup size and dress size will suffice. So a scroll-able list for cup size should be fine and even for dress size, it wouldn't take too long to scroll through a list that included both whole numbers and ranges: <4, 4, 4-6, 6, 6-8, 8, 8-10, 10, 10-12, 12, 12-14, 14, 14-16, 16, 16-18, 18, >18 (17 options in total)
Nonetheless, I agree with your general point and presumably the coding aspects too.
Anyway, I'm not having a go at the OP, his motives are good and it's not at a terrible suggestion. I'm also well aware that it's not actually "his" system and he's just using it as an example, it's not something that necessarily needs to be copied exactly.
