I know the site has other problems. But after speed and stability and maybe problematic legal content for some site members, a main problem is bad scripts. Sync is the most important script characteristic and main quality.
I now wonder how it could made clear which script is in sync and which is not. A script that has endpoints not properly set can not be corrected. It has to rescripted.
Can sync scripts get a badge if they are in sync? If so who gives the badge? What about Level 2 or 3 users to leave moderation alone with this? Untrue badges could be reported. Scripters could automatically get a badge for their scripts. You wont find an out of sync scripts from for example Slibowitz, queer or me.
There has to be a way to expose content with quality and without.
What do you mean when you say āendpoints not properly setā? Do you mean if there are multiple sections where the sync is different between them?
I figured that there would be a way to select a section of a funscript and adjust the offset but that I just didnāt find how to do it in OpenFunScripter yet because I havenāt learned everything I need to know about creating and modifying scripts, yet.
I personally think this isnāt really viable.
What if a 20min script has 2 minutes out of sync but gets back into sync?
What about different scripting styles with exaggerated movement or vibrations? Is it out of sync or not?
If anything I think rather than having a āstamp of approvalā a voting system (maybe just for level 2/3 users) with up and downvotes that you can see the ratio for the script makes more sense so you can see if the script got ratiod.
I personally donāt even think itās that bad. If I test a bad script it gets removed or sorted out and thatās it for me. But I guess it depends on how you consume scripts. I prefer audio-based pmvs and stuff like that so I have a playlist of scripts I like and usually play it on random. If I download a new script I test it out and if itās bad I remove it.
I hate to be that guy butā¦
You can comment on posts.
If the script is bad or has issues, leave a comment. It warns would be downloaders, and tells the OP that there are issues they can fix. We donāt need a fancy badge.
Yeah itās too late then. You already paid for some shitty content. People donāt comment as it would harm the seller. They should but they are not. Is sorted in private messages. Bad scripts should not be released in first place and the site should make sure of that. It can if it wants to.
Remember that this is not a marketplace. Sure there is a paid script section but it was never introduced as a marketplace, more as a way for people to advertise. All transactions are made on external sites after all. People should comment if the scripts arenāt good enough for being paid. As a seller you should make sure your buyer is comfortable enough to feel that is ok as long as it is constructive criticism.
To start: you shouldāve probably lead with the fact youāre referring to paid scripts, cause it seem like thereās a non-zero amount of people who assumed you wanted EVERY script policed. And saying you want to expose content makes it seem like someoneās done something illegal or nefarious. They prob just made a bad script or something went wrong somewhere. Thereās a difference between a scam(paying for something and not getting the product) and a bad product.
If people donāt want to say something bad about a script, thatās on them. I only really buy from the people who have been around for a while and are trusted so I donāt think Iāve run into many issues if at all. People on this site mostly lurk and do not talk about their jerk off material to each other. Paid scripts are usually a handful of bucks so theyre willing to eat the cost.
Anyways, the site isnāt responsible for the paid scripts released cause no one is selling on this site. They advertise to other 3rd party sites.
Talking about scripts generally. The paid ones was just cause they are almost never commented quality wise. But alright so there seems to be no interest in a script rating. Understood, not bringing this topic up again.
I donāt sort shit out in DMs, if thereās a problem with any script I leave a comment.
If you want more people to do this, encourage it now and then in general chat and when leaving such comments.
Placing this sort of barrier to posting scripts might not be healthy for the community.
Encouraging good behavior is excellent for the health of the community.
The concept of a badge that is awarded to scripters who consistently make well synced scripts to distinguish them from scripters who donāt (and those who are new to scripting) sounds promising if thereās a good way to award and display them.
So OK I left message that the script is really shitty see link below. Really no way to write this nicely, I could even get more direct. Its personal and I think its not nice. I agree with @Rosethorn that good scripters that got it that the endpoints are essential should be distinguished. Once you realize a script is mainly good because its endpoints are pinpoint accurate you donāt go back. That badge has to be earned. There can even be a badge for advanced scripring, won an event, has perfect script and so on. We can start with Evie giving her a pink smiling Unicorn. She can fucking script.

hmmm i think your onto something here. Veteran scripters could be one if they have been scripting for a long time, Distinguished scripter coudl be given for how well they hit the mark with scripts. A newcomer badge could be given to people who start posting their first scripts. But how would they get assigned. A post can get likes just for the video content alone. Would a seprate emoji be used exclusivly for scripting? like a thumbs up or down?
Maybe an emoji reaction plugin could be used to implement a native rating system?
That way we donāt have to rely on authors including a rating vote and the community feedback is visible at a glance.
Something like this plugin, with reaction emoji ranging from 
to 
to borrow inspiration from Newgroundsā rating system:
Didnāt we have this a long time ago, and it didnāt work/stopped working for some reason?
Not that I remember?
Itās been awhile. At least a year. Maybe it works now 
Setting the endpoints is literally the only condition that has to be met so the script can be fixed quickly. In my book one with bad or missing endpoints is not even a script. There has to be a way to ensure this for every script. Either by moderation or by feedback. Something that is asked from people who tried the script or looked at it in OFS. Simple shifting or the upscale bug can be sorted out qickly like my link above that was a bad example.
Personally, I donāt have a problem with bad scripts if theyāre free. Paid scripts are a totally different story. Iāve been a long proponent of an approval/validation process for those looking to sell scripts.
Sure, paid are the most problematic as unsynced they are like a ripoff. But if there is an easy validation process it shouls also be for free. Also for the reason to make scripting better to have a base level of script. Apps like FunGen, MTFG are measured by its accuracy on endpoints and a scripter should not?
How does the āeasy validationā process work?
Speaking about free - the last thing we want to do is discourage up and coming scripters. It takes a TON of work to make a script. Often times scripters will do it solely for themselves and decide to share it here. Having it rejected may be discouraging and discourage them from getting better or sharing future scripts. Iāve always said that demand outpaces supply in the handmade script world, so we should do our best to cultivate and encourage scripters.
From the other side - I do know that a lot of script consumers are much more forgiving and less critical than others. A ābadā script to you or I may be totally acceptable to others, especially if itās a video they love. For example, I personally hate āvibratingā scripts, but they tend to be very popular.
Being āscript-consumerā first is really why Iāve felt strongly that focusing on the quality of paid scripts is important. No one should feel āripped offā by a crap script behind a paywall. Wasting a few clicks and a bad jackoff session is one thing, but wasting peopleās money is another.
