Why not "Comments" for each BA entry?

As I was pointed out earlier about the comments section for each entry in Overkill, why isn't it possible to comment on the actual BA entries?

I understand it may be more work to preview peoples comments before the comments become public, but as the site grows that is to be expected.

And the compliments made to the individual Agonists may brighten their day. :-)

Re: Why not "Comments" for each BA entry?

I feel that having comments for each agonee creates a individual dynamic, in that a competitive situation is created. 

I dunno, doesn’t this defeat the purpose? Soon after comments are added to each agonee, then members post comments which attempt to elicit a response…Abit like www.ishotmyself.com, there is a comments section for each model.

ISM is centred around the individual, a new model each day, a bio for each etc.  Members post comments for each model, some personal, some insightful, some rude, some just plain ridiculous. 

If this was to happen here, some people would get no comments (which usually would be the men…) and the popular, vocal, pretty ladies are left with comment after comment.  I get over reading, ‘oh your breasts/arse/fanny is so amazing, I would love to meet/marry/speak/stare into your eyes….’  Some peeps kinda see it as a dating service

The reason I like agony is that the peeps making the submission are given a number and that is as individual as the site gets, bar the overkill section of course. 

That’s what I find interesting about this site, it’s like a collective orgasm.

We all submit, and the all come together on the same page, with the same framing, edited to approximately the same length. 

Then again, maybe a nice comment would brighten someone’s day!

My day tends to be brightened by a thought provoking comment, rather than a compliment regarding my physicality.

I agree, Ruby

  There R plenty of other sites where one may post individual comments.  However, I do find that giving the agonees numbers instead of names sort of depersonalizes it for me.  Couldn't a sort of happy medium be achieved for instance calling them "Melbourne red" or "losing control in Victoria"or"dark eyed gent" or "helpless dude" or just even something like "Sydney librarian" or some such. For instance, I hate referring to 146(still my favourite)  as #146..couldn't he be "relaxing dude" or "married father of 3"? ( No way to contact or comment on them (except in the fourm, of course) but because what is happening is so eminently human they need more than a number.

Good points!  Would much rather keep the reality of the situation, definately would not like it to become a competition.  The main reason this site is so original, is the reality.  By all means, keep it the way it is!

BUt i think it would be nice to know a bit more about the agonees. I think they should post a form like on ishotmyself. YOu still dont really know them but you get a clue what kind of person they are.

I agree with Klick.  This could certainly be optional for the agonees-- but givng us a few tidbits of insight into the agonee's backgrounds adds another dimension.

The forum is a good place to make comments on agonees--and it's "far enough" away from the videos that one can read or not.  Could agonees' comments just become part of the forum?

Those who want to read comments can, but the basic feel of the site would remain unchanged.

Any agonee's want to comment about yourself or the site, now's your chance :-)

Re: Why not "Comments" for each BA entry?

Can we get some admin input on agonees posting comments with their videos?  Optional, of course.

We have a new feature coming up soon which will reveal more about the Agonees, well most of them anyway.  But not a bio.  We don't plan to add any sort of comments system, we don't think that's appropriate for the site.  If you have anything to say, this is the place!.
