I agree with scaring away new members and plenty people have left over the years because of it.
When it comes to the OWC, this is just the beginning. Wait until the theme and genre is announced! That's when things really start to get rowdy around here. Then wait until there are 40+ scripts submitted and it's revealed 20% of the writers are not member and didn't even bother to read any of the scripts! It's all part of it.
This site can be real slow sometimes, so my complaint isn't so much that everyone is harping on my "dumbass question," but the fact taht this is what keeps people from participating.
I don't think the "dumbass" was in reference to your question. I'm pretty sure it was in reference to the questions that will come after the genre/theme is announced. And just remember there are no dumb questions... so anyone who calls them dumb is merely reflecting.
Oh, I've been here long enough to have gotten acquainted with Mr. Bush and some of the others. I can take it and I can see when things are said to instigate forum brawls.
I'm just not sure about the ones that are on the cusp of joining or join and leave after a week or after their first script is deemed unfit for toilet paper.
'Artist' is not a term you should use to refer to yourself. Let others, and your work, do it for you.
Hate to disagree with one of my Moderator brethren...but this just ain't so
Then perhaps you might provide a list of examples of what you think are dumb questions so that people who might have those questions know whether to ask them or not.

Felipe, and anyone else that felt offended by my comments - this was not intended directly at anyone. It is a general statement and as said, it will occur again and again once more info is released
In no way was I or would I eve try and run someone off or scare someone off.
As my little joke question post poked fun at questions that will most likely actually arise. Personally, I don't understand where such questions could possibly come from, but trust me,m they will come and come again.
Just as a word of warning, the more questions that are asked, the more rigid the requirements become. My advice? Don't ask questions. Write your entry so that it falls within whatever boundaries The Don dolls out. Quite simple, actually. If someone or everyone doesn't think you followed the challenge rules, so be it.
Most importantly, have fun with it, because that's what it's all about. Think outside the box and put your best foot forward. I'm gonna attempt to put all 3 of my feet forward here.
Sorry if anyone took my words in a way they were not intended. I apologize right here and now.
I'd bastardize it into a horror romcom. Two sociopath mutants go out on a date. Love tryst between vampire & werewolf. Dr Frankenstein makes love to his monster. And then they switch.
I can work with it.
One of the ghouls should be a new mummy, knocked up by the Gill Man Sorry, couldn't resist.

There's always going to be the newbies who have no idea what's going on. Every right to poke fun of us for asking the stupid questions. I'm sure all the veterans get a little sick of it...
You see what happens when we don't have any OWCs? Everyone's all twitchy and hot under the collar, all bent out of shape. You see, Mr. Tamborine Man, we need our jingle-jangle to keep us all sane. You gots ta keep the animals fed or you start losing tourists at the zoo!
I'm offended that you're offended. I'm a victim! It's my hope and dream that the entertainment industry would promote and encourage new fodder for the machine so that there would be EVEN MORRRRRE content of dubious merit.
Your story is in here. Somewhere. --->
Didn't someone around here recently state that something to the effect of "Just because your screenplay was turned down doesn't mean it sucked. It just means it wasn't excellent. It might be good. But not excelllent."
