Since Imdb are really slow on porn updates and the general porn population (fans/industry/stars) rather hang out on iafd wouldn't it be great if they had a similar rating system on their site for their users? Would be really helpful when getting an idea of how good a movie is without having to browse reviews on their external sites or to get an idea about a film that hasn't been reviewed yet.
Also you could get ratings for actors and directors on their best titles.
I think it would be great if they could implement it on their database.

Actually I find the IMDB rating system to be completely useless. I don't know how many unfinished unreleased films there have "ratings" already that no one has ever seen since they aren't done yet. How many threads I have seen there saying if you like [person in film] vote a 10 for this movie or if you don't like [person in film] vote 1 for this movie. And replies of people doing it. I figure the same would happen at IAFD. Fans of stars would just rate titles high. Those who don't will just rate titles low. People who hate certain companies will troll their ratings to try to keep them down. Look how many people we get here stalking companies just to say negative things about their posts.

Ah I thought it might be better suited in this section just wanted to build some momentum first.
Flash: I am not sure that would happen, I think porn fans are tighter together when it comes to referals for instance and thats why they would probably rate it more accurate than all the teens swamping imdb with high ratings for their prettyboy flicks.

I have no opinion about this. I don't pay much attention to nor have much need for the ratings at IMDB.
I will draw Jeff's attention to the thread. He will (probably) have to do the work if he decides to go ahead with this, so he's the man to ask, really.
p.s. Off-topic (I guess), but has IMDB started to list English titles as the main title of foreign movies instead of the original (language) titles? See The Counterfeiters, for instance.

I've often kicked around the notion of a my.iafd.com and/or more social notions "People who looked at X also looked at Y" type of stuff.
But then I get lazy and distracted and the day job gets busy and nothing comes of it.
I also think its too easy to game the system (and I'm too dumb to make a game-proof system) which is Flash's point, and one I agree with. And you can't be serious when you suggest that porn fans are tighter and won't fuck each other over by voting something up or down -- look at the endless shenanigans with Rog's Fan Picks voting and how the Twitter feeds go bananas when anyone is up for any award. Impossible to be truly objective. Prose reviews force the reviewer to make a point, and the consumer to read it in order to form a conclusion. I like that formula.
I did ponder a way to let visitors leave reviews themselves instead of having to post them here or run their own review sites, but we have enough trouble keeping up with data entry than to overtax the editorial staff to play moderator. (Tho I suppose we could try to find mods for the review queue...)

Wow you guys sure are negative. What I am thinking of is more of a thumbs up or choosing on a ten grade scale for each movie not easier ways for everyone to do reviews.
