It seems like reviewing a photo site based on video content is a lot like reviewing a BBW site based on how slender the talent is.
Is there anything a frustrated webmaster can do to address this?

You're right Amelia. Myself I try to evaluate a site based on what I think a customer whose into that fetish would enjoy. I don't like 600lb women, but it doesn't mean I can't try to get into the head of someone who does.
As for text, if a website goes out of their way to provide long descriptions, I do try to mention that in my review. I know some customers enjoy that.
Adult Site Surfer is restrained by an antiquated system too, and any changes I make would only be future proof, and not affect the past, which sucks! It's just so big that it's hard to make a dent no matter what I do it seems.
So, I've made a new site that I've been working hard on to address some of those issues and start on a clean slate. Have a look, I'd love to get your stuff listed.

Also as for scoring, I've done away with including anything in the score, and just go by feel now. Nearly 10 years doing this, I sort of just have a sense of where things belong. Rather than trying to get a perfect system that adds this and that by weights etc, I just have an estimated score (based on my past experiences with a site, and what other review sites I respect have had to say on the matter) and a full overall score. Adult Site Surfer is a lot about ranking, which turns into a bit of a mess over time, as reviews get outdated etc. This new site is less about your score, and more about the facts and my point form thoughts as I browse through the members area.
