Does member review get it right?

but it wasn't really. the old system had a ton of flaws. if staff review ever came back into full force i would like to see some major changes to it. IMO no one should have to wait close to a year for their set to go live.

Maybe staff could put the older sets which are waiting more than, lets say 6 months, on a kind of member review area?

i remember when the major change happened staff originally said they were utilizing MR to "clear out the queue" and that the plan was to eventually turn back to SR- in which they would only have a 2 week queue of sets at any given time. I hope that idea surfaces again because it sounds like a good one.

I, too, miss everything about Limbo Girls. Seeing that there was a new hot girl in limbo and the anticipation of when her set would go live.
I also miss when SG would actually interview girls as part of the application process. I'm not sure if that was still in effect when I joined in mid-2006, but that whole idea was part of what really sparked my interest in this site. I thought it was awesome that Missy herself would take the time to get to know the girls before they became an SG. Now, the majority of the newer girls haven't had any interaction with Missy whatsoever.
Like tmronin said, recently seeing more sets going live that went trhough staff review has been nice. I'm actually taking the time to look through the entire set and leaving a comment on it.
A lot of people say that MR ruins the surprise. Well ya know what? No one is forcing you to look at sets in MR. I know that I rarely look at MR sets unless it's from one of my favorite SGs or a hopeful who I'm friends with or, from seeing the preview picture or kowing that it was shot by a staff photographer, looks promising. I am, however, more inclined to look at a set if I see that it has actually been bought even if I'm not too keen on the model.
Anywhoozzle, I'm kinda jumping around a lot. Basically, I'd love it if SG went back to Staff Review and SCS.

I agree with most of what has been said over the past few pages. I have never really been a fan of MR and would like to add a +1 to going back to SR and SCS.

SCS gave birth to my set... I'm happy about that I liked the system... and not just because my set was chosen.

This is the first time i've spoken my mind on MR but i'm going to go ahead and do it. I don't have huge issues with MR, the only issues I really have are missing the element of suprise, even with SCS there was still a suprise about which girl would get picked! I think it has taken away from the awesomness of being a Suicide Girl a little bit and having your naked pictures on here, it feels less select and a little less special....

partly because I keep seeing girls on myspace with suicide as their last name (more than there used to be) telling people to check out their sets on suicide girls, people get confused thinking they're official SG's. Also, I think it might make it less special for hopefuls because they've already actually had their set on the front page in some form, whether it gets bought or not.

However, I think MR works majority of the time picking the right sets... I don't agree with members sometimes, but then staff tends not to choose those sets in the end anyway.

Also, I think the queue was way way too long for SR... I really liked the way SR worked, but I don't think it's nice to wait up to a year or more to have a set come out. MR does get sets out quicker.

Sooo, in conlusion MR has it's pros and cons, so does SR. Well, whatever happens i'm sticking around to see.

Totally agree!
I don't like the MR-system.
No surprise, and I think a lot of girls go with me, also when they didn`t mentioned, that the chance for the "famous" girls is 1000% bigger to get a set accepted through MR then for the "unknown".
I see a lot of good sets in the MR, which never get bought, cause the ladies are "unknown" SGs.
Also I don't like the assortment for many MR-sets, especially those of many hopefulls, cause, honestly, everybody see that some sets have NEVER the chance to go live, is it because of the quality or the girl itself.
This is 1. annoying for the members, 2. unfair for the girls whos send the sets in, cause they get hope where no hope is and 3. not nice for the "good" hopefulls (those with good sets), cause the queue for MR is so long, and I think with a better sorting it could grow shorter.

But as I allready mentioned, I don't like MR and want SR and SCS back.


Oh and when I'm just on bleating: I think the sets got more and more boring (also the accepted). Lately I have looked at sets from 2005, 2006 and so on. It made me sad. There were more than just naked girls. know what I mean? Funny and crazy stories, themes, backgrounds. I loved it.

there are too many submissions in member review. too much content which is impossible to follow and still too many sets which make member review more random than special because they are still lacking what I would accociate with the image of sg (mostly sets from hopefuls).
I would like member review to be stricter, to offer a more interesting selection and bring back the motivation&fun to look at sets again.


If it would be a day for wishes I would wish hopefuls and sg´s to be more active ( in a less self-pimping way) so I can relate to more than just the pictures & "look at my set, tits and ass". probably the mass of silent members might not give a damn, but I think the people of the "deeper community" still do care about behaviour and such.

I really liked scs and also I am happy to look at sets chosen from staff ( love surprises! ).

I agree with a lot of the opinions said in the 8 pages I just read, ha.
I personally as a new SG, feel I will never benefit from MR. I would prefer the old method back, as I know my friend who was an SG left because of MR, and enjoyed the simplier times of "yes or no". It's off putting that my sets sit in MR for 3 months, free. While I'm not on SG for the money my sets make, I'm still not down for my ladybits being seen for free.

I think any change at this point would be positive. Somethings gotta' give.

Fully agree.

Maybe there should be a rule, or a clause in the contract that a set bought will go up in six months. That way staff is required to put up "old" sets before they get stale. Then the girls aren't overwhelmed. A new set can wait just a tad longer and still be fine.

I don't know, I kind of like both.

I miss the surprise of not seeing sets before they go up, and the excitement of limbo girls having their set go up, but at the same time a lot of really awesome sets have been put up through MR that probably wouldn't have been bought through SR (I haven't been on the site for nearly a year, but I remember this from before I went to the archive).

I think I'd be stoked on SR coming back with SCSs again too because those were awesome (or even second chance weekends) but like Dot has said, it would be really bad if the old queue issues came back.

Staff, I really look forward to seeing the tweaks to the system you're planning

I agree with you. I've always thought that putting sets up in the order they're received into HQ (as what happens with the MR sets currently in the queue) would be the most logical way.
