Also in current system you can easily distinguish people who are giving 0 to some cards, just because they do not like one thing on the card.

No you can't. It seems that most of the 0 or 1 star "votes" are given without any comment and are therefore annonymous.

No system ever will be an objective one, that is a simple truth, because even in like/dislike system everyone will be rating cards with 0 for absolutely different reasons.

So my preferences are to have the biggest choice possible and if some people don't want to use it at all that is their choice, because in the system with the lot of choice you can do anything. In the system with almost no choices you can behave only like everyone else - that means like Russian judges in the 0/1 case.

Edit: Also in current system you can easily distinguish people who are giving 0 to some cards, just because they do not like one thing on the card. With like/dislike system it would be much harder to differentiate such people from someone, who just doesn't want to rate all cards as 100% but his only other choice is 0%.

It would, in my opinion, be of much more use if there was a private rating by which we could sort our collections according to how we rate them rather than only being able to sort by the public average.

Cela n'est ni plus ni moins qu'un classement personnel qui ne pourra servir qu'à vous même. Je ne vois aucune utilité publique de partage d'appréciation d'un spectacle dans ce système.
Même si le système d'évaluation est biaisé, il donne néanmoins une tendance reflétant le nombre de clients satisfaits ou non.
Bien qu'actuellement, je peux me forger mon opinion sans cela, je reconnais que j'en ai tenu compte lors de mes premiers achats de spectacles et avec satisfaction.

This is neither more nor less than a personal ranking that can only be used by you. I do not see any public utility of sharing appreciation of a show in this system.
Even if the evaluation system is biased, it nevertheless gives a trend reflecting the number of satisfied or unsatisfied customers.
Although currently, I can form my opinion without it, I recognize that I took it into account during my first purchases of shows and with satisfaction.

Le système like ou no like ne serait utilisable que s'il indiquait le pourcentage, ceci pour faciliter la comparaison entre divers shows. Ce qui rendrait le résultat encore bien moins significatif qu'actuellement. Mon avis ; ne changeons rien !

The like or no like system would only be usable if it indicated the percentage , this to facilitate the comparison between various shows. This would make the result even less significant than at present. My opinion ; let's not change anything!

Congratulations Sofi Vega. You look amazing.
I hope that you will get to come back for a Take 2... Even for a Take 3...

@Romla

The reasons why some of us have suggested that the pulblic rating system might be better if it was reduced to a simple like/dislike system are

1) According to Totem almost all votes are either 5 stars orare just 0 or 1 stars so to a good approximation it already works that way anyway.

2) There are, however, those (I was one when I was submitting ratings) that did try to be subtle in our ratings - but this in the end only adds to the "problem" in that we end up with different groups of people using the system in very different ways making it essentially impossible to assign any real meaning to the final rating.

There isn't really a rating system because there is no standard set of criteria that are applied by those submitting the ratings. Instead there are many, some rather idiosyncratic, rating systems in use with an almost meaningless average over these various incompatable systems being presented as the rating.

It would, in my opinion, be of much more use if there was a private rating by which we could sort our collections according to how we rate them rather than only being able to sort by the public average.

La miss est bonne et de plus sa romance débute au recto et se poursuit au verso. Chocolat! Chocolat! 😎

I use the system to rate the cards I saw, so I can see in the future how much I liked some card and for that is like or dislike simply not enough. If some people want to rate cards only 0 or 5 that is their choice and they can do it in 5 star system the same like in like/dislike system. But don't take from people who want to use the whole scale the option to use it just because many people are not using it even if they can.

Moreover with like/dislike system there will be even more 0 ratings than in 0-5 stars, so I think it resolves absolutely nothing in the end.

Or in other words: you want to solve the Russian judges problem with the solution that everyone must use it without any other choice? That doesn't make sense at all.

Wonderful choice, need more women of color !!!!! 😈🔥🔥🔥😈❤️

was to try but i prefer mint to i changed to put him but the problem with istripper still here.

I tryed with bottles https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.usebottles.bottles, the app is installed but when i *****/drop cards in the list to play them, card blink.

when girls are doing their show, their blink too.

I put directx9 and 11 in dependencies, activate gpu acceleration and try with xorg gpu driver and nvidia 515 driver but it's same.

The most weird is that seems works perfectly (almost better than on windows) in full screen mode with backgrounds like screensaver, but in small and big it's bugged.

if someone have an idea, i'm missing theses girls XD

HMM Sofi Vega is the best,plz more ebony girls.

Given how the current system is working (to the extent it is), maybe @lukaszr is right- a simple like / dislike might make more sense. And then the ratio becomes a rating. I myself certainly used the rating system to point me at high-rated girls when I was new to iStripper- and it was very helpful. As you get more experience you need (and use) it less and less and spend more time with the rating details instead. And with the newer store previews that Totem has now implemented you have quite a good notion of what you are getting before you buy anyway.

Personally I do not give negative ratings to anyone. If I don't have a positive rating to give I don't rate the card. Because MY taste doesn't determine whether the card is good or bad but if I really liked it that might be useful information for someone else. Because helping other members is the whole reason to rate anything. Thus when you rate a card you should always say WHY you are rating it as you do. I too find the detailed writeups very helpful and am thankful when someone takes the time to make them.

I'll be picking this one up. I do wish they changed the backgrounds more often. Slightly darker sets would be nice. They do it now and then but not often enough. Also non semi circular sets are more immersive for 180 VR The recent set used for Kitty for example was excellent. Made you more immersed in the scene.

I loved her first set of shows. I also loved her original body type. That said I am enjoying the new tight slimmer choice she went with . Whatever her reasons it looks great. I personally preffered her original body but this also looks excellent. Will be completing a full set of her sans possible SEC.

Totem already confirmed that most people only rate 0 or 5.

I'm too lazy to read all those posts above, but I agree with @Bitwrangler in what he said in his first post.

For some people there seems to be only two options: 5 stars if everything is ok and 0 stars when something is not ok. Some people forgot that there are 1-4 stars inbetween. Sometimes I think it would be better to replace the 5-star rating system with "like or dislike" system, just like youtube has. If you like the show give it a "Like". If, for whatever reason, you don't like it, give it a "Dislike". The number of likes/dislikes could inform other users about overall perception of specific show.

With current 5-star rating system I see it this way: if the card is rated 4 or above it is a good show. If it is rated below 4, it is a bad show.

Anyway, I will buy every show (except SECs) despite the rating, so why I am writing this? I should get the f*** out of here. Peace!

It would be interesting to get a show of hands to see who actually buys, or doesn't buy, cards based on ratings.

Like music, film, etc the content provided here is diverse (not enough for some I admit) but I do not make my buying decisions based on what the majority (or a vocal minority) think, I buy based on my tastes.
For example, we already appear to have ressurected the tattoo 'debate' above in this thread.

Comments are a different matter and if you filter out the 'this is not what I wanted' posts there can be some valuable information about card content that can help inform a purchase decision.

My opinion is that the ratings system is outdated and redundant.

Sometimes the system goes wrong. I have had a couple of times had the problem where I rate a card 5, but the system only shows 2.5. The chap with the duplicate 2.5 is probably having that issue too. I've deleted and commented again later and eventually it works, I hope.

I've had similar experiences. I've made another comment after the first and then apparently the Admin deletes everything.

"gruesome tats" is entirely your opinion. One I do not share. I absolutely love 🔥💖❤️ tattoos.

Why bother with a review system that goes from 0 to 5 if you're not going to use 0,1 & 2 ?
I am quite happy with reviewers dissing the shows with low ratings - as I would for the fakes , gruesome tats and being several pounds overweight - except I wouldn't - as I wouldn't have bought the card in the first place.

0 and 1 points from feet lovers because a model doesn't take her shoes off quick enough (The opposite of what the OP writes) or low score because of a tiny tear in the stockings, or someone doesn't like a tattoo or colour scheme etc. So the low score from certain members due to something silly has always been there, nothing new about that.

One of the reasons why I have never let reviews be decisive as to whether or not I would buy a card. Also I have never made reviews, anyways. I really don't care about reviews. I read many aons ago that people in general are more inclined to ***** than they are to praise. It is something with the way the brain functions.

Reviews are a bit like tabloids, they are just there for a quick laugh, nothing else.

Vous allez vraiment, vraiment apprécier son spectacle en duo avec Clémence Audiard. Mis à part l’interaction fabuleuse entre les deux filles, le dialogue dans Français est non-stop et j’aimerais pouvoir mieux le comprendre.😍😍😍

Excellente nouvelle @pickle1 😊👍

You are my savior! That sounds like a MUCH better idea. Thanks!

If you see a reload bonus I would do it as I have last couple times which were recent. But then I'm betting on more good stuff coming. 😕 👍 😎

didnt want to make a new topic..... but this is really a reset of the SEC card for the summer sale going on for another month.. but no reload bonus? Its been some time since we have had one... and seeing all the promos coming up... was wondering if we will see one in our future? I was kinda surprised there was not one with the new SEC card that started.... just wondering...

Select cards in Batches of 50 to 100 at a time.
Right click on the trash can Icon and Selected Check for Updates
It will download the Missing clips.

I'd even do 20 cards at a time..
that way you don't get stuck for days, downloading.

I think I can change the stars at will without changing the comment or non comment but I hear the first one is what counts. I dunno if it is true or not. And duplicates are not counted. Again as I hear. 😕 I also have seen glowing reviews with a bad star or no star rating.

And the reviews may not balance out all that well. For example:

Angel Sway, Tremendous. Published rating 4.16, which as several people noted is insanely low for one of the cutest girls ever.

Supposedly 171 ratings. 35 LISTED reviews breaking down as follows:

5 stars: 30
4.5 stars: 1
2.5 stars: 3 (one of those is a duplicate so the same guy gave two identical 2.5 reviews)
0 stars: 1 (And this one is clearly an error. It was a VERY positive review where the reviewer simply forgot to mark the stars. I've done that too. You have to delete and rewrite the review to fix it.)

It would be interesting to know what was going on with this one.

Suppose, for the sake of argument, that you had deleted some clips from your card collection to save space and now you had a LOT more space and were thinking that maybe you would like them back. And suppose you had done this for, say, a thousand cards. Is there a efficient way to get the missing clips back? Or do I need to delete each entire card and download it again??? 😳

If someone wants to give 0 or 1 stars for a show, it's their right to do so. Doesn't matter the reason. If you want to play God and decide which reviews must not count, that is censorship and it's far worse than giving zero stars.

As an American, I can say that we are pretty much PROFESSIONAL jerks. Our country was FOUNDED on being jerks to certain stuck up overbearing overseas people who totally deserved it. So I would never say someone can't be a jerk, or doesn't have a right to be a jerk. But having the right to be a jerk doesn't change the fact that you ARE being a jerk- and a nasty one- when you rate a card 0, especially for a trivial reason. You are saying the card is WORTHLESS. That all the work of the girl, the production crew, the post-production team, and the QA team were WORTHLESS. Don't be that guy. I have seen people do things that were worth 0 or even less that that, but you won't find that at Totem.

And @Socialhazard has just pointed out an excellent reason not to do that sort of thing.

Totalement d'accord avec toi @Sexy3DBoy, son dirty talk m'a rendu fou... très excitante cette jolie brune française. 🔥

I forget sometimes to add useful bits because some members are so good at that I tend to leave it to them to do a full review and not much left to say then. 😕

Though I just commented on a card so you know the chair prop is present, that might be useful. Though I was second or third to do that. 😄 😀

Also, you might find this interesting.

Cette miss est top, côté peepshow c'est aussi du high level. 👍

, I will read comments. Most comments are useless, but there are some users who write comments that are my "go-to" reference. Some users, I agree with, some I disagree with. Either way, these users tell me the details what I what to know.

Have to agree on that one. Mostly posting about flirting style, make up and outfit.

The rating system is useful for me to read. It gives me a general idea of the overall views. If enough people rate the models, then the "Russian Judges" become ***** to the overall score/average. The reference to "Russian Judges" is hillarious.

After looking at the rating system, I will read comments. Most comments are useless, but there are some users who write comments that are my "go-to" reference. Some users, I agree with, some I disagree with. Either way, these users tell me the details what I what to know.

I have never once rated a card (never will). I think it is useless information. I never even look at the ratings for any cards, except for a time at least a decade ago.
If I like a girl, her e and f cards are added to my collection.

I wish the app had the possibility to suppress the rating system for those that would prefer to not even see it.
(in the settings, add this as a toggle)

This rating system may have shortcomings, but I am in favor of maintaining it. I agree too. Over the years the ratings even out and the best models, in the opinion of the majority at least, do seem to keep their high ratings.

I also think the rating system is ok and "functional", but I also agree with Bitwrangler's original post.

I do think the system is often *****. Yes, we are allowed to vote as we please, but I wish everyone applied some common sense before giving the stars, and reflected a moment before doing so: "am I using it correctly?". The rating system shouldn't be used to "make a stand" and artificially try to lower the average of a card to "make a point", if the issue is merely personal preferences or fetishes and not the quality of the card or performer itself.
