Model ratings - are they important? Can I remove it from my profile?

[IvyBrooks]

Hello,
I am cleaning up my profile a bit and I was thinking about removing the "Rating" section of my profile. It seems to me that it's kind of pointless, since people typically go by Cam Score to quantify the success of a model.
I know how to remove the section, but I was wondering - would that hurt me at all? I'm assuming it would disallow members from being able to rate me (unless there is some other way they can access that rating option). If I don't get many ratings, does that have any negative repercussions? I think I read somewhere that ratings factor into Cam Score...is that true?

Let me know all the info you have about model ratings. Thanks!

I've had mine off of my profile for almost 2 years. Except for the annoying guy still trying to say "rated and admired you bb" or "Aww I can't rate you" it has no effect! lol

Rating on MFC is literally pointless.

Read so much of this blog. Thank you all for the incredible amount of helpful knowledge.
Would like to know how a situation works though. When you are having someone else appear in a video with you. Im aware they must too submit proof of identification, but how does payment work for that person? Do you pay them a one time fee for being in that video, or a royalty fee for every time the video they are in makes money? You wouldn't pay them a percentage of what you earn, for instance of you have 300 videos and they are only in 25 videos, it wouldn't be right to pay them half or a quarter of what you get.
Just tryingto figure out how it works when you use other people. Thank you.

I took mine off, too. It actually cut down on the amount of people asking for a rating in exchange for stuff LOL

Rating does not "do" anything, but neither do "likes" on FB. They are a little thing that allows members to see how many members have a good opinion of you, and they also allow them to show their own appreciation without having to spend tokens.

You should remove it, just so you can laugh at the idiots who come in your room and tell you that they just rated and admired you.

I know of people that have removed theirs because lame ass basics with 100 accounts come in and down rate them a 1 star, which in turn gives them an overall lower, like 1 or 2 star rating, which isn't accurate when you have assholes doing that. Personally I would hide it, only because basics can rate. I think MFC should only allow Premium members to rate models, you are not just rating the profile, you are also rating the model as a whole and people do look at that just from a consumer point of view, whether it affects the money they make, cam score etc (which I know it does not)...people do look at it. Also, models can mute basics, ban etc but they have no control over basics being able to down rate them over and over again on multiple easy to obtain email accounts and until they make it a premium feature I personally would not want it on my profile knowing for a fact they do this and do it more than people would think. ...Again though just my one and a half cents.

Even the simple "rated and admired" after not tipping one token while chatting up the model gets on my nerves a little bit. It is almost like dudes think that is a compliment (which I am guessing it is not, but I am not a model). I guess it adds to the chat but so does a 5 or 6 token tip with a tip note saying you will rate and admire (which isn't all that hard to do). I guess if you are going to the effort to mention that you will rate and admire a model then why not tip them when saying that?

It seems useless for models and members alike. I much prefer comments (models can delete them, so it is fair).

It totally ups your cam score.

This is directly from MFC's wiki page.

Unfortunately many incredibly naive cam models complained for some reason about the removal. They annoyed the rest of the models with a brain. So MFC brought them back. An incredibly stupid waste of time.

Most long time members who understand this, never even bother to look at the ratings. They mean nothing. Keep them, get rid of them, screen shot and tweet them, dance naked in the woods giving a blood sacrifice to the moon in honor of them... it doesn't matter and no one cares. Don't worry about them whatever you decide.

Thanks so much guys, this TOTALY answered my question! Definitely removing it!

FYI, in 7 years on MFC, I have never seen a model's profile with a rating of less than 5 stars.
