The whole idea of the recip is that it helps to get traffic and good search engine placings for the site therefore, in theory, is good for everyone.

I cant force someone to have a recip but if their review is good and they dont have a recip then I will suspend the review - if their review is crap then they can remove the recip by all means but that doesnt mean I will necessarily remove that review if that makes sense!! The idea of any review site is to tell it like it is so if a site is shit we are gonna say it is shit - simple as. Easy solution for any webmaster is either dont submit crap sites or dont have crap sites in the first place!!

The final point on traffic - yes I do have traffic but I dont see the point in sending traffic to a review site which doesnt have any reviews yet. Kinda chicken and egg syndrome I guess - I need reviews to make the site worth visiting. I *could* buy in reviews from third parties but I think that would be cheating so am gonna spend a few weeks trying to get submissions and get a portfolio going and then I can launch the public side of the site.

Thanks for the feedback!
Might be tough to get a lot of submissions in the beginning but in the end it will pay off especially for the surfer who you want to cater to. It'll be nice to see a true review of porn sites and not a review based on what the pay site owner wants to see. Maybe you can do a few reviews and put them up so people that will be submitting sites can see what to expect. Just make a sample review page.
