Why am I unable to comment on videos?
Will65
If you voiced your opinion in exactly the same tone as you do it here you shouldn't be surprised...

Will65 I saw your comment before it was removed. You weren't commenting on a production approach, style, or technical flaw.
You called a woman's body "yuck" and your comment had earned, as of when I saw it, negative 21 votes from other users.
(Though, to be fair, I certainly don't want to kink shame your downvote fetish.)

Will65 I called the SCENE "yuck", and I disparaged the number of plastic videos lately. At no time did I refer directly to the actress. I believe the exact content was "The plastic parade continues. Yuck." That is hardly egregious, and I have seen much worse.
As to the likes, there is currently a comment on this video:
https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/my-girlfriends-little-stepsister-31259
with 90 downvotes after the poster complained that putting Dakota Tyler in the scene made it "gay" because she is skinny and flat-chested. It has not been deleted.

i got temp banned from the forum for a harmless comment 
Mutiny What exactly about the scene, besides her body, made it "yuck"?
the plastic.. what else?
spacepirate2 Ah, so it's an environmental complaint about recycling manufactured polymers. We should do better in the future to look after the planet. Point taken.

I don't get your objection. Is white-knighting models really helpful on a forum that ostensibly seeks feedback on choice of models? I didn't say "CJ Miles is gross", I commented on a particular genre of models - surgically altered, unrealistic pointed brestes (Lenina Crowne is another good example), tatted on eyebrows, lip injections, etc. It's well established that this is a genre of porn that people like or do not like. Customers also comment on not liking models with tats or piercings, saying IN COMMENTS that they ruin the scene or that they find it unattractive. Do we ban them?
I fail to see how we can express an opinion about a particular class or genre of actress (alt, BBW, big tits, whatever) without running afoul of what you seem to be objecting to - except to refer to the class or genre, not the actress, like I did. If I said that I think CJ Miles is yucky and ugly and shouldnt be on my feed, that is personal. If I say I don't like plastic models, alt models, goth models, BBW models, teen models, ect then I am commenting on the casting director's choice of category, not a person per se. So no, I did not "call a woman's body yuck".

How about the comment on this video, by @LordCrash

"Without the ridiculously ugly tats Demi would probably be one of the hottest women on planet earth. Well, that's how to show mother nature the finger, I guess... 
"
Not deleted. Directly attacking the actress as ugly, and yet still commenting on videos and tone-policing ME!
As always, moderation is arbitrary on SLR, and usually comes when you criticize the direction of the site or the staff. Clearly it isn't that my comment was just so offensive...
- Edited
Will65 You said "plastic performers" in your intial comment here which is direct name calling of some people and pretty insulting. "Plastic model" is not an official genre, it's an insulting term invented by you.
Is it soooooooo hard to simple state "I'm a lot more into natural girls and I hope that you'll shoot more with them in the future again." instead?
Show some respect to the people working their ass of so that you can wank one off.
Mutiny And this comment, from user stm93 on https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/private-lessons-32313 still stands:
"I just wonder... are these girls forced into having boob jobs? Because I can't for the life of me imagine anyone mutilating their bodies like that, willingly. It doesn't look good. It's ugly. Misshapen. An instant turn off. Porn actresses need to stop doing that, and porn industry has to stop forcing it on them. Producers who force these girls to have these awful boob jobs should hang their heads in shame."
My comment was positively measured and reserved in comparison.
Will65 My objection is that it's foolishness to continually state that you don't like a thing other people like. It's not for you. That's fine. "Don't yuck other people's yum" is a cliche at this point.
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but the world will not stop turning at your request. There will always be those among us who enjoy the augmented aesthetic, and as long as you frequent porn sites, you will see it. You are welcome to avert your eyes and go on about your day like a grown up.
I would honestly love to know what you do like. But while some people wake up every day and seek happiness, others wake up and seek despair. Not much I can do for those people.

Will65 Not deleted. Directly attacking the actress as ugly, and yet still commenting on videos and tone-policing ME!
I wrote that her tats are imho ugly. I neither called her names nor did I say that she's ugly in general. I actually said that she's really pretty and if I personally liked her tats she'd be one of the prettiest girls in world. That I think her tats are ugly is exclusively my own problem.
- Edited
Will65 Still not the same as name calling, dude. And moral outrage? LOL. You have no idea what that actually is. 
But you're right, it wasn't the nicest comment I've ever made. I never claimed that it was helpful to anybody though. It was just a statement of disappointment. And I wouldn't even notice if it was deleted... 
Edit: On 2nd thought, you are actually really right and this comment has no reason to be there. I deleted it myself.
Mutiny This is silly. The forums and comments have been repeatedly sold to us as a place where we give feedback about what we like and what we don't like, with the intent that the decision makers will read it and give us more of what we like and less of what we don't. To say that if we don't like something we shouldn't say so because someone else might doesn't work with that model. If, instead, the foums and comments are to be used to express praise when you like something and keep your mouth shut when you don't - that's not a source of customer feedback, that's a circle jerk. I fail to see why they'd even be useful, except to stroke someone's ego.
Mutiny I do see both sides. But I do think @Will65 makes a point in that if the comment was "The high heel parade continues. Yuck." It wouldn't have been deleted.
How can you make a comment on not liking fake boobs in the comment section of a video that has a girl in it was fake boobs without it not looking like you are directly talking about that person? This is porn so talking about model choices is going to be one of the major topics.
I do think it could have been worded better to not have as much of a punch to it. But people are from different cultures and english could be a second language. Something in one country might be very offensive but not in other. America and the West is leading the way on PC policing and some people are tired of it.
Will65 maybe next time say you like more natural looking women. Although we still all know what you mean and it doesn't get your point across as much as the other.

"Plastic model" is offensive in any language and culture. It's meant to be offensive and derogatory, sorry. You can't be offensive on purpose and then complain that moderation does its job...
rerun119 How can you make a comment on not liking fake boobs in the comment section of a video that has a girl in it was fake boobs without it not looking like you are directly talking about that person?
Pretty easy. Say "I'm not much into augmented boobs myself and I'd prefer if you shoot with more all natural girls in the future again." There's zero offensiveness to such a statement and it's perfectly clear what you want to say.
LordCrash I'll agree with you but
Will65 "Without the ridiculously ugly tats Demi would probably be one of the hottest women on planet earth. Well, that's how to show mother nature the finger,
"ridiculously ugly tats" is also offensive in any language and culture.
My point is that once a human becomes the PC police then their personal feeling are going to be picking and choosing on as uneven level.

Mutiny some people wake up every day and seek happiness, others wake up and seek despair. Not much I can do for those people.
sorry but not everyone is living in fairy land where people smile and compliment everyone and everything so as to not damage someone elses fragile mental state. the people you think are seeking despair are seeking perfection and the other group either dont care enough or are curled up in a corner with their eyes closed and hands over their ears muttering "dont hurt me".
rerun119 "ridiculously ugly tats" is also offensive in any language and culture.
That's why I deleted it now. Shouldn't have been there from the beginning actually, my bad. Like I said, it was made in a state of disappointment but I should have voiced it better and less offensive.
spacepirate2 "Seeking happiness" was probably the wrong phrase. What I mean is bettter phrased as "seeking contentment" -- as opposed to seeking the kind of dopamine hit one gets from standing on someone else's head and declaring oneself tall.
(Also, on a personal note, please don't seek perfection. That way lies guaranteed disappointment. Seek improvement. That can actually be acheived.)
- Edited
Mutiny nobody here is trying to stand on someone elses head for a dopemine hit. all anyone is doing is voicing opinions on what they do and dont like. some are doing it more tactfully than others of course. if the more abrasive characters are a problem for you then id suggest that is at least partly a "you" problem.
and no.. seeking perfection is a good thing. without people like that driving progress our species would still be cavemen killing each other with sticks over the smallest disagreements. aiming high, falling short, and learning from the mistakes is how we make progress... not being content.

Nope. If you act like an asshole you shouldn't be surprised if people call you an asshole and treat you like an asshole. Comes with the attitude and it's very likely well deserved. If you want to be offensive and insulting and cocky, just own it and live with the consequences. Or make a step back and reflect on your behaviour and maybe just admit that you were offensive and simply try to behave better next time, being less offensive towards other people.
And yes, I can be an asshole myself, I know the drill...
spacepirate2 all anyone is doing is voicing opinions on what they do and dont like
Yep. That's what I'm doing. Though there's a way to not be a jerk about it.
(At which, I admit, I'm not perfect because perfection is impossible and therefore foolish to attempt.)
- Edited
LordCrash my point there is that some people are too sensitive. i dont disagree with what you are saying about acting like an asshole though. its a two way thing.. but people like to just point the finger at the asshole.
- Edited
Mutiny The problem with all of this is that you are needlessly personalizing it. Like it or not, porn is a business. Comments suggesting I should just appreciate the performance of the model and be grateful for it are misguided. If the model did a video and presented it to me as a gift, I would be remiss to criticize. But that isn't what's happenning here: I am paying for a service. The model - her appearance, her talent, her presentation, her voice, her attitude - are THE PRODUCT. She is SELLING those items to me (or at least to SLR) for a fee. As such, I get to criticize the product, sorry. If I contract with you to paint my house and you do a shitty job, I get to say so, and if your feelings are hurt because I didn't appriciate your artistry, so be it. The product wasn't up to my standards, and I get to say so. I can see how you make the mistake: It is offensive to criticize a woman's body. But that changes when the woman commodifies herself by marketing all or part of herself for money. "I get paid a lot of money because I am beautiful and take a cock like a champ" and "Commenting negatively on my physical appearance or choice of surgical alterations to my appearance is inappropriate" are incompatible with each other - something about having your cake and eating it too.
Mutiny "Don't yuck other people's yum" is a cliche at this point.
This trope is inapplicable. I didn't criticize someone else for liking plastic models, I said that I didn't appreciate the number of plastic models we are seeing. Reading it your way suggests we should never say anything negative for fear that someone else may like it. I don't see how you can reasonably defend that stance, but I think you're actually trying to take it.
Mutiny Bottom line, I very sincerely care if you like something. I want you to get what you like.
I absolutely do not care if you don’t like something, as long as someone else does like it.
That's my position.
Porn is a business. If this is your position, then you are a bad businessperson. You are saying that if you make 100 of something, you only care if 1 person likes it? And that you really wouldn't care about the complaints of the other 99 people that didn't like your product? You could read all the 99 comments that say, "If you'd just put a handle on the side, we'd buy these like crazy" and not make the change because you only care about the one person that likes it?
Not to be mean, but that's the diffrence between an artist who makes PMVs on the side and a person like @doublevr who runs a business for profit. He constantly points to data, trends, and stats as "proof" of what the majority of users on his site like to guide his decisions and direction. Suppressing or ignoring criticism defeats all of that.

Will65 Comments suggesting I should just appreciate the performance of the model and be grateful for it are misguided.
At no point did I suggest this. I suggested you watch something else.
Will65 If I contract with you to paint my house
Unlike in your flawed metaphor here, you are not the only customer on SLR.
Will65 You are saying that if you make 100 of something, you only care if 1 person likes it?
No, I'm saying that if one person (you) doesn't like a thing and one person does (someone else), that's still a success. Though the reality here is thousands of people like it, and a handful don't. It's just that the handful are really fuckin' loud about it.
Will65 the majority of users on his site
The majority of users on the comment thread that launched this whole discussion told you what they thought of your opinion. That's also data.
Will65 Porn is a business.
Yes. Among many other things, it often is a business. And a business doesn't change its strategy because a tiny minority happens to screech.
I've asked you multiple times in this thread alone what you actually do like. I still have no idea.
There are many people here with whom I disagree on a lot, but you are the only person in this entire ecosystem for whom I literally cringe when your username pops up. Of the scores, possibly hundreds, of comments I've read from you, I remember maybe 3 that weren't aggressive whining. (Not to be mean.)
I'm just tired of it, man.
I want you to be happy. Truly I do.
But at this point I want you to know — and I mean this from the bottom of my heart — I sincerely consider you an acceptable loss.
Let's just ignore each other and live out our short lives on this planet a little happier for it.
I'm done.

Mutiny I'm not sure why you even engaged in the first place. I'm usually confused at that in general on site forums. Like you said - it isn't for you. Do people somehow think that I am commenting about what I want to or do not want to see for them somehow? I am commenting for the purpose of communicating my likes and dislikes to the site management. They seem to justify a lot of decisions with "well, everyone likes it" so it seems critical to speak up when I don't so that a) they know that not everyone likes it, and b) to encourage others who don't like it to speak up as well. People constantly comment with shit like "Well, you know, other people like this" - of course I know, you stated as much in your own comments. Why do you think you need to chastise mine because I disagree? Should I respond to every person who comments postively and asks for more of a video that I don't like , "you know, other people don't like this" ?
My comments are directed at the company. If you feel the need to argue with me or correct for reasons of your own, fine - I will discuss it with you. But remember - I didn't draw you into it. The way I see it, you entered my exchange with the company unbidden. The company seeks my feedback as a customer through feedback forums and comments. I did not seek yours. My opening comment on this very thread was addressed to support in general and @doublevr in particular. You can't help with my question, you just wanted to voice your opinion on something that didn't concern you. To then whine about how that conversation went seems a bit self-involved to me.
Mutiny I'm just tired of it, man
Move on, then. You chose to engage with me. It's silly to complain about your own choices.
