About Pornstar Lineup
Adult performers, ranked from the record. 10 rankings, 129 performer records, one public scoring method and an open log of corrections.
Pornstar Lineup publishes researched rankings of adult performers. We build each list from primary records: award archives, studio release data and verified public pages. One published scoring method covers every list, and we review each one on a set schedule. The site carries no explicit media.
Who writes it
3 review passes
A ranking stays unpublished until it has cleared all 3. That is why each page takes days to finish, not minutes.
✓ Fact check
We confirm each date, award and credit with at least two independent sources before a page goes live.
✓ Consent and respect check
We check that the wording treats performers as working professionals. We do not mention or link to leaked, non-consensual or unverified private material.
✓ Legal check
Every listed performer is a verified adult with a documented professional career. Pages carry RTA labelling and point readers to the 18 USC 2257 statement.
How a ranking is made
Each score is out of 100 and is built from six weighted pillars. Four pillars are worked out by script from the performer records: awards, credit counts, studio range and career timeline. The same data always gives the same order. The other two rely partly on editor judgement. Wherever we set a score by hand instead of working it out, we say so and give the reason. Every input can be checked against the sources we list.
Set the field
We list every performer in the category who has verified professional credits and a public record we can check. Each article states how many names we looked at and how many we cut.
Gather the records
For each performer we collect award-body archives, credit databases, encyclopaedia entries and verified official accounts. We mark anything we cannot source as unverified and leave it out of scoring instead of guessing. We ban aggregator sites and AI-written biography sites outright. They repeat each other's mistakes, and they are why so much award data about this industry is wrong.
Calculate the record-based pillars
A script works out Recognition, Body of Work and Longevity from the gathered records, scaled within that article's group. No person sets these numbers.
Set the judgement pillars
Craft is an editor score. Demand uses measured search interest where we have it and an editor estimate where we do not. Influence starts from documented crossover and business activity, and a person then reviews it.
Weight, order and sense-check
We set the pillar weights for each article and print them on the page, because the question a category asks changes what should count. The desk then reads the order for results that defy common sense. The usual cause is a performer whose career began before the award record does.
Disclose every change
If step 5 changes a score, the affected entry carries a note saying which pillars changed and why. If a pillar value is an estimate and not a measurement, the build reports it. We publish a corrections log and never edit in silence.
Our scoring rules are open. The pillars, their weights, the scoring rules and the weakest parts of our method are all set out on the methodology page.
Independent of advertisers
Funding note. Pornstar Lineup is funded by its readers and edited without outside influence. Nobody can pay for a place on a ranking, and no performer, studio or platform can buy, shift or remove a position. Some links to paid platforms may carry affiliate tracking. That tracking never changes a rank or a score.
Content, ratings and legal basics
Technical choices on an adult-topic site carry real consequences. We write them down here instead of leaving readers to guess.
18 U.S.C. 2257
Every performer featured is an adult professional. Pornstar Lineup hosts no explicit media. The production companies that made the work hold the records that 18 U.S.C. 2257 requires.
Age check
Every page asks visitors to confirm they are adults. DOM-safe: the full article ships in the initial HTML response and the gate is a client-side CSS overlay. Nothing is withheld server-side, so there is no cloaking and no intrusive-interstitial risk.
Content label and SafeSearch
Deliberately OFF. This page is biographical and carries no explicit media. Applying <meta name='rating' content='adult'> would remove it from SafeSearch-filtered results and forfeit the majority of addressable traffic. Any explicit assets belong on a separate subdomain, which is where the RTA label goes.
Links to other sites
Our text links only to award bodies, credit databases and reference sites. It never links to explicit destinations, because the links a page carries help decide how it is classified.
Corrections, takedowns and anything else
A page has a mistake
Email thecamexpert2@proton.me and tell us the page and the detail that is wrong. We fix factual errors within 48 hours of confirming them, then log them with the date and a description at the bottom of the article. We list each change on the corrections page.

We deal with correction and removal requests without argument, and we never ask for a reason. The steps are on our ethics and consent policy.
