Some hobbyists really like being able to take Photos and videos.
Before any of you say that you are not interested in that so you don't think a point Should be given for that, let me remind you that many people are not interested in Greek.
I know a lot of providers aren't comfortable with photos and videos, but a lot of providers are also not doing Greek for obvious reasons, for any of you guys who have had a big dildo in your ass. A FEW people love this, NOT the majority of people.
If you take a look at a talent agency site for porn stars and their profiles, maybe 1/10 of porn stars do Greek. Maybe even fewer.
If things remain the same with the scoring system many will figure it out and a nine will be viewed as a perfect score for ladies who don't do Greek. But there will always be hobbyists who don't do reviews and who don't participate on the boards who won't understand that.
If not for photos and videos, can't we think of one or two other activities that makes a session outstanding besides greek to let us potentially get a perfect performance score?
Instead of ADDING more activities that most of us don't give even a single fuck about, I think we should do the reverse. Start at a maximum score of 8 and allow an extra point for DFK, BBBJ, and Greek.
This way a girl who offers any two of the three activities could still qualify for a ten. I know a lot of guys, including myself, don't care about anal, but it would allow a woman who offers a PSE as opposed to a GFE to still qualify for a ten.
The big problem with the new review system is that there is going to be a phase in period where almost all "honest" reviews are going to start reflecting lower scores, skewing the scores towards the old reviews having high scores and new reviews having low scores. This is going to be confusing as fuck to almost everyone, and will only reward women who are successful at review manipulation
...pun intended 
Anyway, allowing an extra point for "really bi" gives you the chance to give a provider a score of 9, if you think she deserves it. Without it, you'd be limited to giving a max performance score of 8... unless you want to try to convince TER that DATY counts as a "BBBJ" when it's FF, or that anal sex using dildos counts.
Lol no I have no interest in anal or dildos, unless the provider would like to be on the receiving end of either (and in that case she can write her own darn review about it to earn those extra points!)
I still need to ask TER if pegging guys or rimming them counts as Greek. Doesn't say who needs it up their booties lol.
I still think that when female clients see a provider, she's eligible for the "really bi" score, but I am not sure how TER views that. It fits so I don't see what the issue is.
I am glad that some ladies will take the "really bi" off their profiles. Too many gamed the system on that. Of course some will just leave it there for whatever reason. Of course I bet plenty are gaming the system claiming Greek in their reviews. What a big mess.
If a gal now takes "really bi" off her profile, shouldn't their scores be adjusted as such since they'd be admitting they lied for higher scores? Yes that is admitting they used that to be eligible for that extra point.
I still think the best way for it to be fair to all is showing the score and the max available score ie 7/7 vs 7/10. Then guys would know who provides the best at a 7 experience.
I don't that thst this ever was or ever will be an issue.
I mean if a provide gives a session that has a female monger believing that she's really bi (but really isn't), then she not only deserves to be able to claim it, but she would also be eligible for an academy award too!
1. Add as many points as you want: Greek, NQNS, squirting, rimming, chess playing, singing, does a load of my laundry while we're at it (extra point for smoothing and folding my briefs), mows the lawn ...
2. Is the scoring to be based on allegedly available (old method) or actually partook (new method)?
3. Then, score as 7-out-of-7 or 7-out-of-10 or 7-out-of-121. That shorthand makes things clear:
Performance-out-of-Things_We_Actually_Did
"We tried a zillion things (here's the list) but she forgot to add bleach to the laundry: 67/73."
"I only wanted to stick to the basics but she is so good at what she does: 7/7 = 100%."
Some sports fanatic will insist on awarding someone who gives 110% with an 11/10 but the software should prevent that.
The new system, as a single number shorthand, is meaningless without reading the entire review.

I agree that the X or of Y approach would be an improvement but I think any single performance score across as many different factors that we'll all both rate differently and value differently from one another that the one score is already problematic. As such how complicated do we want to make things.
Other that increasing the things we get to bitch about I say let's just stay with what we have (that being the new rules that TER put in since they are there) do what we've always done with reviews and scores: the research.
A single number "7" or "8" is meaningless on its own in the new system and doesn't allow for simple, easy screening. You MUST read the entire review to figure out if it's a 7/7 or a 7/10.
If originally scored and posted as a 7/7 versus 7/10 it is MUCH MORE meaningful. I don't want to waste time reading a 6/10 or a 7/10 review but I do want to get the details of a 6/7 or 7/7 review.
The fine details and nuance come thru in the written review, not the 7/7 itself. That's where the "different factors" are explained in the details. That's back to the "old" system where we find out if the score was based on (greatest DFK + toothy CBJ) or (decent LFK and fantastic NQNS BBBJ).
But a single digit random number score is going to waste a lot of time reading reviews that we could have ignored with more (X-out-of-Y) type info.

at a glance what percentage a provider earned out of her possible points. I think this is a good idea.
I just wish there was a way I could earn a 10. I do so much and allow so much. But not allowing greek will prevent me from getting 10s anymore.
The large majority of porn stars do not do greek. Only about 10% do greek. So if TER is trying to only reward PSEs with 10s, then I think a PSE should be redefined.
Anyways, the last thread I read on the definition of a PSE there were many different opinions about what that really means. Not everyone thinks it includes greek. Maybe that has changed.
