No. I think this is a terrible idea. I wouldn't be impressed at all if FreeOnes did this. In fact, I'd be pissed.
Hey Maggie, please explain, what exactly would make you pissed about it?
I can understand Maggie's concerns. In a profession where their appearance is already heavily scrutinised, you want to subject even more? To be confident enough to bare all takes guts IMO but I'm sure there are models/performers out there who may feel they could have a better feature here or there. What happens if they get a negative rating on this site about said feature(s)? Off to the cosmetic surgeon I would think. Do we need to subject any of the models/performers to this? Surely the babe rating is enough. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and everyone has different tastes. Some users might be subjective but what about the haters? Reading some of the comments is bad enough 
I could see lots of the OCSMs leaving over this, I may be wrong and would like to hear more from them but I'm flatly against this. Unless the far majority of OCSM's are FOR the idea I think it's bad bad bad. So far the No's are in the majority which is good to see, personally I hope it stays that way.

Yeah, I wouldn't care for it. Initially my only thought was "what's the point of trying to create an objective average score cumulative of all the highly subjective scores?" when ultimately we'll all make our own minds up anyway. I also think it's slightly distasteful to the models - this isn't like rating an album by a musician or a piece of art that has taken up some of somebody's life to create - it's them, who they are 24/7, in most cases giving them a grade on nothing more than their luck of the drawer with what God gave them - well, apart from some (but not all) parts of the body that some (but not all) models can cosmetically alter. I mean, you might be able to mark a pornstar's performance in a scene just like you would grade an actor or singer on a stage, but for them to see low marks on their eyes, nose, genitals etc, I think would be a bit much.
Secondly, there is the possibility that you'd get really skewed ratings. People would only bother giving ratings to the models that they absolutely adore. Who's going to bother getting someone they're indifferent too and take the time to give them a load of 2s and 3s? You're just going to pick out your favourites and immediately set about pumping them full of 5s. Alternatively you could get people hunting down the girls they really despise for whatever reason and giving them 1s across the board because they're feeling vindictive - she didn't tweet back or let you grope her at a con, or worse still, it's a model that your favourite has voiced dislike for or is going through a spat with. I suppose you could end up with quite a lot of girls with average, middle ground scores as these two factors cancel each other out.
I think it's trying to add something objective to something which ultimately is always going to be subjective. Plus speaking for the porn fanatics, you couldn't trust us to be fair. We'd just give the top marks to the ones we WUB and screw everyone else.

I'd be ok with it, but on a 1-10 scale.
I know why some women wouldn't like it though, and I get that, even if it's hard to explain. Mostly it has to do with the cold hard reality of seeing anything less than a 10 by any of their body parts. I probably wouldn't want my body rated (and I have a decent body).
OTOH, my body is not my job...I never put my body out there to make money off of.

The ratings would just be opinions. The ratings would not mean anything.
People already know who they like.

So thats a yes?

Why would you want to pick models apart? I think it's incredibly rude. It would give idiots and trolls too much of a chance to rip the girls apart. It already takes a hugely thick skin in this business, you have to put up with so much bullshit. We all get tweets and comments from time to time saying how ugly, fat, insert insult here, we are. I enjoy being a part of this community and I really don't see a point in what you're suggesting. If this became a part of FreeOnes, I'd think twice about my involvement here. And I bet plenty of other ladies would feel the same!
Of course this does raise another question; What about incredibly subjective features?
Some people like a huge ass, some people like no ass at all. Some people are into DD's, some people like flat chests. Some people like "beef curtains", while other people like the clam shell look. So you're going to end up with polarizing looks getting lots of 1's and lots of 5's and averaging out in the middle and ultimately not really being indicative of anything nor representing either view point. So I kinda wonder... what would be the point?
And I agree with a lot of this...
Doesn't matter how confident you are, everyone has something they're insecure about, and it's unlikely anyone wants a spotlight pointed there.

Yeah, the whole reaction of the models to this is what would scare me. There are models that voice strong opinions, and don't take bullshit. I can see them ******* some member off, and that member goes and gives them a completely **** rating, just to try to damage their traffic on FreeOnes.
If you had to submit your name when you ranked, and the models had access to who said what, that might help somewhat. But an anonymous ranking system seems fraught with troubles of this sort.

This is an absolutely horrible idea. The women already get judged superficially and now you want to add insult to injury by not only allowing people to vote on their body but then to display that to the world. Why would anyone think that this would be a good idea?

I totally agree with Maggie and Dirk. It's too open to assholes messing with it just to **** models they don't like off. And then it's there for the whole world to see and could even damage a models reputation just cause some idiots don't like it when they're called out for **** they write.
I'm still pissed at the review my site got when it was less than 2 months old and the reviewer tried to turn a huge benefit of signing up into it sounding like I was charging for my weekly member chats?!
I have to live with this now and every person that looks at my profile sees that awful review that gives the total wrong impression of my site. If this feature was added and people fucked with it I'd be screwed.
So it's a vote of no from me I'm afraid.
