Just a thought - why not have a rating system based on the context of the script. Sound cool? |

Isn't that what the stars you can give beside the names on the board? Like vote out of 5 or do you mean something else. |

I mean like if the script is PG-13 or R rated material. |

Oh yeah, that would be cool. my scripts for the most part would be rated r or NC 17 and they're mostly dramas |

I was thinking something like: E - the script basically is a family friendly fare. PG - Same as the MPAA's PG 13 - Basically close to PG-13 PG-15 - A limbo between PG-13 and 17. 17 - The same of a regular R rated film. 18 - A script that some would consider a hard R. X - The same as NC-17 Of course these ratings can always be changed. |

It could just be another option like adding your name but here's something, when you send it just add that in at the end of the synopsis and Don puts it on the board and well it's rated.
That's a lot better than Don having to add more options and or things of that nature. |

That's sort of what I was thinking. Adding at the end of the synopsis could work - I'm just thinking that at least we could establish ratings everyone can agree on, you know. |

I mean yeah, of course but I think for the most part who would object to adding a rating to there script? That's like objecting to having your script posted
Maybe we should have less because less is more but really it wouldn't matter, just gives people a few different ratings to choose from.
You have the r and than the hard r rating which is a good idea but you'd have to explain what encorporates a hard r or just an r. I know for most horror scripts they'd be up in those r and up ratings but which one would be the thing you need to sell |

Think of Basic Instinct and films like those - I'd put them in the hard R category. |

I forsee a lot of X's in my future. Because as anyone who's read my stuff knows, I don't shy away from the violence or language. |

Mine would all be PG-13 with the exception of COFFIN CANYON and it's two follow ups.
The only thing I have in most of my movies is the cussing and some cut away gore. I don't go overboard on blood and guts and usually, more often than not, don't even use it. I have some instances, though... not many.
COFFIN CANYON RETURN TO COFFIN CANYON CANNIBLE CANYON: dead men tell no tales
Are really the only graphic violenced and adult themed movies I've really written.
The raiting is a novle idea though... kinda.

All in all, I think it's a great idea. Don is it something you would consider? |

If such a rating system were adapted, I'd imagine it'd be up to the author to decide what it's rated based on selections in the submission form, because I don't think Don would want to go through every script on the site to judge their content. |
