Only if you call it by it's proper name of l33tspeak. If you don't, everyone will think that you're just a 45 year old man with no prospects living in a hotel.
I have to admit, I haven't been too pleased with the feedback so far. I really think people should take a step back, outline what they want to say, and then write it in a very educated manner. Burning these things out is clearly no way to go.
I propose that every script should be read and then contemplated for no less than 16 days before feedback is posted.
Shelton, I disagree. My story had issues, people said so and I could see their points. If we're being asked to critique a script would you prefer if we sang its praises without mentioning its weaknesses?
It was my first time posting a script here and if I had to wait 16 days for a response I wouldn't bother. I try to go through all the scripts as deference is due to all the participants. I also use honesty because that's what I want in return.

But surely you would agree that there are times when things just aren't serious, and your best bet is to take a nice tidy nap on a bed of circus peanuts. Did you know that they expand to four times their size when put in the microwave? Now you do.
What if I were to lower my suggestion to 8 days and 2.12 hours? That's nearly half. Or what if everyone just told me to go screw myself and left feedback anyway? Or didn't tell me to go screw myself and left feedback anyway? I think I'd much prefer the latter, as it would be unkind for someone to tell me to go screw myself, and even more unkind if they told me to go screw myself on a bed of circus peanuts. Did you know that they expand to four times their size...
plagiarism and regurgitation bug me. They really do.
You shouldn't go that much see movies. They're full of it, even from great screenwriters. Rather call that "tribute". I would be very proud to be plagiarized (even if I'm not a great screenwriter)

Ok, I get it. Honesty is not especially preferred.
Have you read "Taxi Driver"? "Kramer vs Kramer", "Ordinary People" or even "Knocked up"? Those writers went with real situations and real characters. They drew from life instead of "paying tribute". You're a new writer. You have experienced the world. Your perspective is unique. Trust it. Trust yourself and infuse your writing with your life. First-time writers like the Canadian women who wrote "Juno" and "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" did that and met with amazing success.
