Something that bothers me a bit is when people come to this forum, post asking for help identifying a film, often with practically no real info and I'd say they get a response and even a solution 70-80 percent of the time but then the OP never bothers to thank those who took the time to figure out the film for them. A pet peeve of mine.

It was the fact that Tomb actually got thanked for figuring out the Masseuse 2 that sparked this thread for me, I realized how rare it was for the poster to actually come back and do that. And Tom Baker figuring out that German film from the little given was amazing for instance, hopefully there's a thanks coming.
I've noticed that too. If no one identifies the film the list of bumps or "edits" changing nothing within the post that follows. But once identified many of the people asking are never heard from again.
Sometimes I have put an ID for an actress or a clip description on here as a last resort. And a day or two later I have manage to find out who the girl or what the clip was. I have always returned here to give the answer to alert others who might have been searching on my behalf.
^ You can tell those by their post count. If it's in single figures you might have a point. They've made an account then put their Clip/Actress ID on the forum, then disappeared or answered then disappeared. My post count is a lot more than single figures so I consider myself genuine. (I think). But I know what you mean though Hoshposh.

I don't mind if people just come on to ask for a film they saw long ago and can only recall dimly. One of my first posts on a porn forum may have been similar, it's the lack of courtesy in simply thanking people for taking the time to figure it out for you.
Guys focused solely on getting their nut. Once they have the answer, there's no time to thank anyone. Also, a lot of times I wonder how it is they don't know. I've come across a random gif every once in a while and come here for help with an ID, but nine times out of ten the new account ID requesters are posting screen-caps of scenes they own. How do you not know who is in something you own? They should be able to just check the box-cover or the reputable site they downloaded it from, right? Since they can't, it's pretty obvious where they got it. Makes me question whether I should help them at all.

If it is a screen cap or modern gonzo you're right but often on the feature side they're just going from their vague memories. Often they have nothing really to go on, name of even one of the performers or even an accurate estimate of the era. Its amazing how often someone figures it out for them. I think it is that challenge that intrigues some of us and why we reply even though it is often tedious with all the super vague requests. I wouldn't help with these other performer IDs as I said to one guy, why don't you just look at the cast list if you got it legit?
^ Yeah, I was referiing solely to the screen-cappers, not the vague recollection people. I usually help the screen-cap people anyway because as you said, I often find it to be a fun little detective challenge. I know quite a bit about gonzo porn so I like to put that knowledge to use sometimes. Porn fans are weird. Edited by - Mister Fahrenheit on 2/25/2016 4:21:00 PM

Just figured out where that S&M screen grab was from, The Submission of Emma Marx, we'll see if Swagger123 with his one post actually responds. I won't be holding my breath.
