If the default sorting method on MFC was changed...

What I would love to see , even if just for a day, is MFC make the default sorting of the homepage go from lowest to highest camscore. :lol:

Would models purposely tank their camscore if it was a permanent change? Would members finally change their settings to sort by a different method? Would it show that placement on the page is the be all end all?

Camscore would be worthless at that point and I am pretty sure the models would just concentrate on making as much money as possible and fut the camscore.

I don't think camscore would be useless. It would be an interesting experiment though. :-D At this point in time there is no way MFC would change it. High camscore models are proven money makers and it only makes good business sense to push people towards those rooms. Just thought this might be a fun thought experiment.

Currently there are 5 options: CamScore, Most Popular Rooms, Alphabetically, Newest Logged On and Newest Signed Up. Would any of those options be better? Would any be more fair? Obviously alphabetical would be out, otherwise most models would be named AAAAA something. :lol:

What other options would be better? After looking at what we do have as choices, camscore seems to be the best and arguably the most fair.

I don't understand how you could tank your camscore to get sorted highest and therefore make the most money... would models just leave their cam on 24/7 and only get on for a couple of hours a day? That's a rather odd catch-22. Camscore raises as you earn more money, so having the lowest camscore so you can earn the most money and therefore get the highest camscore which you don't want doesn't make much sense.

I agree that MFC has no reason to change their sorting method. I would wager a small percentage of models bring in the majority of money. MFC wants to reward those models, not hide them. To put it coldly, MFC models are a bit like products. How many online stores have you been to with a Best Selling category? How many of them have a Nobody Really Is Buying This But It Isn't Fair To The Makers Of This Product So We're Displaying It First categories? As far as I know, MFC is taking a step forward by allowing models to be sorted lowest camscore first. At Amazon you can list prices from low to high, but only by Most Popular - not Least Popular.

I would be interested in a Longest Broadcast time room or something that lists models by how long they've been online, but only passingly. It would be a bad option for MFC I think.

Alphabetically is a good sorting method for people who want an even mix, but I've never used it.

In theory, that idea would be interesting. In practise, unless mfc set a limit to how long you could be on before it automatically logged you off, it could lead to some models leaving their cam on 24/7 just so they'd always be top.

With the amount of models on mfc, i don't think there could ever be a truly fair way to sort all models. I suppose they could add more filters other than region but that's kind of covered with model tags. Any system to do with ratings, whether what they sort of use to have with being able to rate tips and privates or something similar to likes and dislikes is too open for abuse.
So i guess, at the moment definitely, camscore is most suitable option for them.
