I see some (mainly bigger sites) using AV after the actual join from a soft/SFW tour but I do see how that could piss off some paying customers. I guess they are doing that for cost purposes as sites with big traffic would end up paying a shit ton of AV check fees with a much smaller percentage of surfers actually joining so that would be a loss making event.
Other sites using a soft/SFW tour have AV before the join, then letting surfers see the proper NSFW tour, then the join as normal without the 'shock' of being greeted by AV checks once they've paid there hard earned cash before they can login.
Its more cost to the site again with AV check fees but there are some that are totally free providing you self host the script.
Then there's the ModelCentro way that are charging the customer for the AV check without seeing a thing. Its not something I would personally use but I understand they did that due to lack of time and are working on something better?
Be interesting to see how the big tubes implement things as they have until later this month to comply (at least in the UK with OFCOM) as I hear Pornhub may be doing something a little different.
And as for UK/OFCOM, you could ask your biller to not accept debit cards (as under 18's can get these) and just use Credit cards for joins with a SFW tour/no AV checks. This I think should satisfy OFCOM but from our figures, you would lose a ton of customers as debit cards are close to 70% of UK joins comparted to 30% CC joins.
So in short, there is probably no 'best' solution yet as its early days.
