I hate to tell you this but people don't owe you anything for reading there scripts, and than there's the part where some will lower your rep when you give them a bad review so I'd be careful what you ask for

I know no one is obligated to read a script, but if someone loads up five or six scripts but doesn't read anything, eventually no one will read his scripts.

Too bad thtere's no way to see how many scripts someone had read.

I'm probably getting up in the high number for reading them myself but it seems just today my rep went down to 75%  I guess that's what you get for saying what's on your mind and people just can't take it, I have yet to use more than 5 reputation clicks so I will keep mine and not waste them like some do for no reason than to just give themselves a giggle

If you look people at 100% rep barely ever say anything or when they do are playing it safe and than there are others like myself who take one for the team when everyone else is being conservative

Yeah, Reputation is funny here... really.  I mean, I think I'm one of the more vocale about saying what I feel and what I mean and well... my rep is very accurate of that, lol.  

I've got few fans here and that's actually a good thing... Too many and then my door get's knocked on... People follow me to the gym... I get calls all night long and e-mails of naked women... "did I just say that out loud?"  I mean, when's it end?  War what's it good for?

In my opinion, the lower the rep, the more truth's you've told. I see folks running around with a 100% rep and I kinda laugh a bit.

Wes, it's cool... I know we don't see eye to eye on every issue, but yeah I see where you're coming from.  I also used my like 4th click just now to raise yours but it didn't go up much... go figure?  

I think I only used it for Don and someone who said nobody raises mine so I did for them and said there, I basically know who lowered mine, it doesn't take a genius to figure out who. (Looks at you) I know who you are and some day soon I'll get you

Anyways Balt, I finished reading that script I mentioned and now, well in the morning I'll begin readin the one you mentioned in which I already have saved in order to read

I do hope it's as good as the one I finished today because it was my top 2 favorite ever in the script department, I've been pleasently surprised by my selection of screenplays not having read one horrible one at least this year.

Last horrible script I read I started to cry from it's horrendous state and than I realized it was mine and felt stupid and than cried some more and than I came here and I was happy again

haahah....what a funny story.  and a sad story.
but yeah, i think we can all agree that reputation has added a new variable to the game.
personally i forget about them nowadays. then i'm like...whoa!!  mine hasn't changed in a long time.  

i need to say more ahahahhah

wait, do u only get t2 change five peoples rep's?

I think you could raise and or lower everybodies rep once

I think reputation is more an accurate indicator of the fact that you can format your opinions ( whether negatively or positively) in a positive way, with enough constructive critisim,

I think it reflects badly on the members when someone that is a proven writer has a very low rep because he's opinionated and someone who is a lower level writer has 100 because he kisses ass

I wont mention names but you know who you are

Of course not you

I think its coolest having no rep, because then your like, distant, and uh . . . mysterious . . . .

My rep only bothers me if it reflects on me as a person... I can asure each and everyone here that even though many do not like me or even the sign of one of my mundane post in there thread, I'm really not at all a bad or dislikeable << is that even a word???, LOL >>  person. I'm not.

I may come off a bit extreme and offish at times, however, it's only because I'm very direct and to the point... it's not that I wish to hurt anyones feelings or break them down in anyway at all.  

Also, my rep kinda bothers me in 1 other area... it does and I'd be lying if I said it didn't... When folks look at rep, many think "Bad writer" "not at all positive poster" um... "dick head" and many other things to be sure... While some of them might be true,LOL, I do believe in my work as a horror writer... I do.  I'm not better than anyone and I'm not saying my work eclipses anyone persons here, however, it does have merrit to stand on its own apart from everyone else's work here, I do believe this.

So, yeah, in a way the rep thing is damaging... you post positive, you're gonna have a good rep... you post negative you're gonna have a bad rep... you post truthfully and who the hell knows what you're gonna have for a rep.  It depends on what side of the mirror you and the other person both stand on.

It's like selling gasoline to firemen as they run into a buring building or selling lemondade to 6 and 7 year olds... The end result won't be a good one.  

That's where I stand on the whole thing... Don't mind the man behind the curtain, he's often stoopid, often makes no sense and often makes bad moves to counter act the good ones, cause he often thinks the water is warm til he discovers how deep it really is in here... Water fills my lunges like tripoli spring loaded cannon's.

C.K.

Good thoughts to all and to all a goodnite >> a little christmas cheer from your local jewish poster, that in its self is irony of the best kind, LOL!  A jew who celebrates christmas too... "scratches head" Ah, forget everything I've just said  

I can say your screenplays are in the quality margin and deserve a Walter or even one of those real awards that they give to best screenplay or writer, something like that

Contrary to what others may want you to believe there are good screenplays and or series on this web site, all of those threads about lacking screenplays.

I can understand why your rep went down Balt, I believe people still hated you from your first stay. If it were solely based on talent you'd be at 100%, no doubt but it's not.

Well so nice of you to be so subtle about it Wes, LOL!    

I'm sure a good number of them still do hate me, LOL!  Thanks for the compliment though, means a lot when you got a supporter in your corner.

Balt~
