Only one girl in two sets this sunday

This is a continuation of the discussion in the now-obsolete-and-therefor-closed topic Only one set a day this week.

Why this topic? Some hours ago, lil_tuffy closed the topic Only one set a day this week because, as he said,

I do in no way question his closure, nor do I question his reasons for doing so, nor do I want to reopen this now-obsolete topic: The "one set week" was finished, so discussing this measure was no longer of use, period.

However, by finishing the thread, Tuffy also finished the vivid yet admittedly out-of-topic discussion about the fact that yesterday we had two rather similar sets of the same girl on FP. Some considered this a slap in the face for girls who are hoping their set would go on FP, some found it boring to see two similar sets a day, some disagreed with these points of view, some considered criticicism on staff decisions as "whinefest", and some others proposed to shut up and to watch boobies instead. Although lil_tuffy animadverted this discussion and joined the side of the anti-whinefest and pro-boobies faction, he closed the topic explicitely because it "outlived it's usefulness", not because of the ongoing off-topic discussion on the double-set. The latter would have given the impression that the staff does not want people to question their decisions, which is, of course, nonsense.

In consequence, and in order to avoid the false impression that the staff does not want his decisions to be questioned, I open this new topic in order to create a place to continue the said discussion - now on-topic and no more on a thread which outlived it's usefulness. (@staff : In the highly improbable case that the said "false impression" is, in fact, a correct impression, please feel free to close this topic as well.)

Now can we please stop watching boobs and continue the discussion? What do you think about seeing two sets of the same girl coming up on FP the same day?

I think the main question, aside from anyone's personal feeling towards the situation, is simple- why were two sets chosen of the same girl and put up on the same day? I think if we bring it down to the basics we can satisfy everyone's curiosity and maybe calm some of the drama. Thanks!

I'm fine with it. Mainly because of boobs, though.

So was it sort of staff picks a model at random and puts up two of her sets back to back just to see how members/models/etc would react towards that idea?

Since we're apparently allowed to talk about it now .. personally, I wouldn't mind so much if the two sets by the same girl were drastically different. Or maybe if one was just her and the other was a multi, I think that might be fun to do every now and then but having the two similar ones go up together just rubs me as kind of boring.

This makes me happy now (not that my opinion really matters). So I say thank you for shedding some light and answers as to what was up with this .
And true, trying new things never hurts. Just unexpected ones just get the weirdest reactions at times.
This concludes my PawkCast day....*beep* and snowie screen.

I said my piece in the other thread, but find it absurd how quickly others jump to defend the company and disregard other models' on the site opinions. There is no reason to be so nasty, and when things like this do get brought up and generate discussion on a board titled "everything SG" it's dismissed as a whinefest and closed. You may not agree with how they feel, but don't belittle them for feeling it.

ETA: thank you, as always sean- for both listening to members and allowing the discussion to take place.

Considering how often the site updates i hardly think 2 sets in a row is any sort of issue. God forbid someone has to wait another half a day for a new girl's set.

I wouldn't be against staff encouraging girls to have several sets "in the pipe," as it were. I could see that being the case were there some understood "double shot" day. Perhaps one a month would be better than one a week, though, given how much of an issue it's apparently been. But seeing a favorite, or a really hot new girl upload a few sets into member review at once would be pretty cool in my book.

But, on the other hand, I'm a "community" member, not so much an "omg boobz!" member*. It'd probably take me a while to notice if SG was just doing one set every other day, so my opinion on the rotation should probably be regarded with little or no weight.

*That's not to say I deride the "omg boobz!" members. After all, these are boobs we're talking about. I can understand that emotions run high.

Who ever said we were talking about boobs?
I thought the discussion was about giving front page status to the sets created by the work of a model(s) and photographer and any other parties involved in the process. I could've sworn it was about the art being created.
Actually the emotions run high because of the many people who feel they have put in the time and work and feel they deserve the chance for their work to be bought and shown on the front page.
And some of the members who respect the work done by these parties feel their pain because they want them to succeed and feel the work they have done is good enough.
I do love the community but I do also support the hard work done by the gals and supporting cast.
I'm not arguing with the staff choosing to experiment with how the sets go up or their reasons. I'm sure they are valid and reasonable.
Long story short it was a test after all and we all learned from this. Any damage done I'm sure can be fixed and they can now apply what they learned from the mass opinions and ideas brought up by this.
I'm not going to get upset about who they chose because I personally did not follow her sets status and who this particular SG is in general as to whether or not she actually deserved this based on criteria aside from mere numbers.
I'm simply saying I can understand why people would feel the way they do and for what reasons.
All I was truelly curious about as a member in this fun filled and interesting community was WHY. I'm not saying I deserved an actual answer but for the many people who have clearly gotten upset or anger or interested in this incident. I feel a simple answer would've been nice and calmed some people down.

Well there I said it. Should I feel bad about this..no. I'm not trying to hurt anyone with my opinion. I'm just letting it be known after looking over what everyone has said and how people clearly feel or don't really care about this situation in it's out of the blue what the hell just happened kind of ways.

One last thing in regards to people saying yes we have had this happen in the past. Think of the ratio of SGs and hopefuls then in comparison to now. Those numbers do mean something as far as the odds of being selected are concerned.

Ok now I'm done.

Thanks for making that point.Because right now it just feels like argueing or just ask for an answer is inapropriate.

back to one set a day now!?
