  • Automate casting suggestions and script requests

Don’t know if they still do this but Brazzers used to have a button to press to request someone for a scene. I think you were allowed so many requests per week/month or something and couldn’t pick the same girl more than once in that period. You’d go to the girl’s profile page and just click ‘Request a scene’ or something like that. Not sure if they ever took any notice though obviously.

Is that something you could include on the model profile pages in DeoVR and/or the SLR app?

Puh, I don't want to rewrite all my suggestions, sorry. Even my time is kind of precious...

And I don't think it's a good idea to trash the forum with a shitload of one-post threads...

But if it has to be the new way of doing things I suggest to add a [Casting] before the girl's stage name in the thread title, so that the forum trashing is at least a little bit more handable...

Wait, so we need to repost all of our old suggestions again? As individual threads?

    Apparently so. At least if you want to "make them count", I guess.

    I could easily flood the forum with 100 suggestions and threads like that. I'm not sure whether most people around her were happy with that though...

      No need to repost. Let's try dedicated threads and see how it goes.
      So far it seems like better way to follow-up.
      I've got a feeling how to make it work on the site. Will take some few more months though

        LordCrash Apparently so. At least if you want to "make them count", I guess

        They'll probably change their minds and come up with another new idea next week so I'm not going to bother.

        Is there a way to have one main casting suggestion thread on the main page? But when you click on it, you see all the individual sub-threads for each performer?

        That way the main forum page isn’t cluttered up with a bunch of individual actress threads.

        doublevr Script request button would be awesome! I'm not sure if it would be hard to implement, but it would also be fun to see the number of votes and sort unscripted videos by how many votes they have. That might make it easier for people to browse videos to vote on

          doublevr Perhaps you could integrate it with a modified version of the Pornstars page? You can then use the number of favourites to deduce how popular the performers are among the general SLR customer base.

          For example, if a performer has 2k likes but only 5 videos, and none of them are hardcore, then it's very likely that their VR hardcore debut will be a success.

          Keep in mind that number of likes in isolation is not a good metric. For example, there might be an absolute stunner with only one video. Many people may not have seen that video. On the other hand, a performer with 50 different videos will have more exposure and have more opportunities to be added to a users' favourites.

          For this reason, likes per video would be a more appropriate metric. If a performer has 5k likes with just one video, they're a relatively safe casting bet.

          As for new performers without any existing videos, one solution might be to allow SLR users to create a pornstar page for them and allow users to vote on them with likes.

          stefanno it actually looks nicely. Going to be mess at the start, but we'll settle in about a week. Will get all sorts of status tags to keep everyone informed

            doublevr The problem with only featuring the performers' names is that there'll be a heavy bias towards big stars with recognisable names.

            If there are 100 different suggestion threads, most users won't click through to each thread to see what each girl looks like.

            But this way, you miss lesser-known performers like Macy Meadows, Amber Stark, Madi Collins, Demi Hawks, Kitty Cam, Katrina Reed, and Liz Jordan, whose SLR videos were all an immense success with 4.5k - 7k+ likes each

            It’s just more spaghetti being thrown at the wall. This site gets messier and messier, less and less focused by the week 🤦‍♂️

            Forum just turned into chaos with all these single threads. FFS create separate forums if you insist on separate scenario and performer threads by the hundreds. What’s next? Favorite position posts?

            I know. Create a new tag where your thousands of users can post additional crazy harebrained ideas and implement every single one in production on a whim without any testing or think-through.

            Meanwhile here’s the new norm on the one thing customers actually care about here:

            Yes, this. I am fairly frustrated with scripters taking time to script scenes with a few hundred likes while scenes with thousands of likes go unscripted, and simultaneously blaming it on "sales" or "demand". Having the number of requests displayed would provide them with useful information and give users a level of transparency. People won't bother voting if it looks like the votes don't drive results.

            doublevr Regarding the casting section of the forum, I am wondering if you are taking into account how many users react when someone proposes a specific performer. And if so, how you are measuring the number of reactions.

            If I want to endorse a proposal, I usually like the initial post in the thread. Will this be noticed? Or should I better add a new post to the thread?

              SchnuppiLilac totally looking into it. it's a great source of creative ideas.
              It's also true that we haven't established some casting suggestions tool as we planned, but things are not bad with current casting I guess. Please let me know

              If there's something to say about particular performer have it in her thread. Everything matters 👍

              Would love to see more people joining our casting team

              I personally wouldn't mind (if possible) a locked sticky thread titled something like "PLEASE READ: Before you request a pornstar" containing a few suggestions/guidelines for creating a request thread for a performer (pictures, links to social media/agency page where possible, use the search bar first to see if there's a thread for the performer already, etc.) to (potentially) help curb duplicate threads, and all the threads that contain nothing more than the text "it would be nice to see her on SLR" and nothing more.

              Obviously it wouldn't be 100% effective, but it's something to consider to help with the clutter imo. Just a suggestion.

              I was happy to see the automated script request being added to the videos. However, I'm wondering if anyone is paying attention to them? So far none of the ones I requested have been added, some of which have multiple requests.

                Bike we managed to get AI scripts for the most requested ones. We get more scripts than ever. Keep in mind it takes around two weeks to get a video scripted and we get more videos than ever
