I think it comes down to what the intent behind the comments feature is. Is it:
(1) A communication channel from the viewer to the studio to surface feedback.
OR
(2) A forum for users to discuss/rate the content between themselves and for other consumers.

The way it's implemented today, it seems to be (1). In which case it would make sense to give the creator full control on deletion of individual comments and blocking of users. I get what @clayt is saying though, if someone takes the time to write out thoughtful feedback, that would benefit others as well. And it would be unfortunate if that was removed.
But ultimately if the purpose is (1), that should be the studio's choice. That way the studio can take as much or as little feedback into account as they choose. This is inline with how other platforms handle moderation (ie Youtube). It also creates a greater sense of 'ownership' of their channel on the SLR platform, paving the way to other benefits down the line.

I suggest that if any comments are deleted, this should be visible on the commenter's private comment history page (with an optional reason from the studio). That way there is a feedback loop - the commenter would know what aspects of the comment the studio was not receptive to. And may help them deliver feedback in a more constructive way in the future, or avoid that studio altogether.

[deleted] "The filming is very unprofessional; bad angles, camera feels like it's on the stunt cock's belly, gives giraffe neck vibes, no structure in the positions, amateur storylines, poor eye contact like she's looking at someone behind the camera, and the scenes are way too short compared to the standard 45 minutes," shouldn't be removed.

I'd say if phrased like that, maybe a comment should be eligible for removal? When a scene is posted, that front page including comments are the studio's storefront, and it would be rude to shit on every aspect of the work in such an abrupt and unconstructive manner. Instead, such comments could be A) written more sympathetically and B) contained within a dedicated studio thread on this forum so everyone's voice is heard but the studio doesn't feel like their scene / livelihood is being attacked. Giving studios the ability to moderate comments would make us all reconsider how we interact directly in scene comments.

If the studio decides to remove a scene comment, then I would suggest the comment is marked as "removed by studio" instead of just disappearing. At least this way a studio would only remove inappropriate comments, and not helpful suggestions - otherwise they would look tyrannical. If you look at a scene and every comment is "removed by studio" that would deter viewers so studios would I think not be too heavy handed. And like I said I do think that a separate dedicated thread for each studio on this forum, moderated by SLR not the studio, would be a helpful in allowing all voices to be heard without making the studio feel like they're having to fight constant battles to protect their work.

One other idea.
How about adding a 'private comment' feature? Where either the commenter, or the studio, can mark a comment to only be visible to them (and not public)? That way if someone has critical feedback they want to raise, they can do so without it being front and center for everyone to see?

@LittleCaprice wrt SUPERPRIVATEx The Gardener
1) the missionary scene camera is too high up or far away. needs to be a tad lower.
2) some kissing in missionary would be nice.

otherwise good work.

@ableman , @LittleCaprice
I think I disagree with ableman on this one.
My take on the 'SUPERPRIVATEx The Gardener', this scene was spot on. Best scene from your studio so far.

Key notes:

1. The music in this scene really stood out - it added a lot and was the perfect choice for the setting.
2. The setting with the garden and transition was well matched with the outfit. That camera work in the opening scene, bringing it close as the clothes came off, very well done.
3. You sold the storyline, it was convincing and immersive.
4. Camera placement was really good. I like that you brought the camera in, and really got up close.
5. Eye contact was perfect. Felt genuine, like you were talking and looking at me.

The execution on this scene was spot on. Clearly a lot of work was put into making this one happen.
As I mentioned before, I love the variety you bring with your scenes. Please keep doing this - it really makes your work stand out. Will keep an eye out for the next one!

@LittleCaprice I appreciate what you are doing. Comments or not, it’s your studio, your body, your equipment, your choice if or how to receive feedback, your choice how you want to film. I’m just happy you choose to give us content.

I have nothing negative to say about Little Caprice VR style.
Just an observation of how they were the only studio talking back and forth with the customer. They got a lot of praise for this and I didn't see much negative comments. Then all comments got turned off and no more talking to anybody.
It must be hard to read someone saying you are doing something wrong.

Silly-Sausage weird, I think VR Spy are doing great work. I don't need much, just hot girls filmed with competence and that's their thing. Same goes for Badoink, and for the most part LittleCaprice. I don't personally need much more than well filmed + good talent. The variety comes from individual performers (Shrooms Q for example is mind blowing). When new ideas are introduced it's nice to see, but I'm all for the majority of content just getting the basics right (which is something not every studio can pull off).

vrpicasso weird, I think VR Spy are doing great work.

First off, apologies for my spelling in the previous post, i was typing on a small screen but can no longer go back and edit these errors.

They started off so well with some of the best, edgy scenes i've ever seen with some stunners, but now it's just vanilla scenes mostly with models that aren't to my personal taste - But it's up to them what they film, i'm just saying from a personal point off view that i don't even comment on their scenes anymore as they are boring and the camera is pretty poor.

Silly-Sausage I disagree with your statement about anything specific changing with video comments. This specific studio voiced their opinion and decision and informed their user base here. Other studios make their own, separate decisions. If they want to turn off comments, they are allowed to do so, we just used this topic as an opportunity to discuss alternatives. What was recently discussed here were the reasons behind the decision, next steps, and the overall way to provide constructive feedback both for this and other cases.

Besides, I don't get your point about the forum being "broken" in relation to this discussion. I had a constructive discussion with two users, haven't prevented anyone from commenting and only focused on the way the comments are being shared. I don't understand why you take messages like "make your feedback constructive" as a personal attack, and it's completely reasonable for a forum to steer conversations in a civil direction. My comments have nothing to do with "getting users to share what we want to hear".

And for real this time, you just came back to this discussion to share your two cents after there was no talk about you (or any other studios for that matter), and you exploded. You can definitely argue that you provided feedback about a couple of different topics in the second half of your message, but you know that's not what I'm referring to. My entire previous points were about being critical while staying constructive, and this comment just went in the opposite direction of that. Stop initiating confrontations, and stop provoking. As mentioned before, there are better ways to share your opinions.

You and I never had direct communication like this before, and I have no personal beef with you. I can respect that you have personal thoughts on how things should work with studios, comments and the overall platform, but it is impossible to please every user out there. I'd like to kindly ask you to reconsider how (not what) you share your input moving forward.

Megas_SLR You can disagree all you want - that doesn't change mine or anyone's opinion irrelevant, and that's the issue - it's just gonna be a forum full of yes men.

But i'm happy to move on as i can't win - bye

Silly-Sausage at no point did I mention that your or any other opinions are irrelevant. You're doing what you're accusing this forum of doing – sharing your thoughts like it's an objective truth and refusing to actually discuss it (or try to understand what I wrote). Thanks for sharing your personal foreshadowing, though

thin skinned many people are these days....ask more questions -- and you'll find out why

...i think we all suffer from positive confirmation bias as we get older, when it comes to the perception of the younger generations. As a gen X'er i distinctly remember being told as a teenager that "we were all soft and didn't know what hardship was because we didn't have to grow up with food rationing"; that we were rotting our brains with television, and were selfish because we were always talking to our mates on the house phone all evening, and overly opinionated whenever we disagreed with our elders cos we'd just read something in a book or whatever.

i do think we can make a case that current media consumption crowds out book reading for everyone, from every generation, which unfortunately means even more young people grow up without actually ever reading a book, so that's gonna affect the ability to focus for long term, and children are indeed reading less than their peers did many decades ago. Additionally, there's the endless barrage of self-serving behaviours promoted on the internet, but i see that trend reflected in every group, from boomers to gen z, so that's not a generational qualifier.

There's some good quotes going down the ages here:

rerun119 I really liked that aspect where they always took feedback. But now they're nowhere in the VR space.
Not a single upload for VR on their webisite since mid september.
Could be they didn't find it profitable enough. Can only guess.
