SMALL POLICY UPDATE: New users are expected to claim a script to read before making their first submission; otherwise, their scripts may be removed from the platform.

We have noticed a small but growing uptick in new peers who post a script but do not claim anything to read, sometimes even after several days.

While we understand that some users may prefer to explore the platform and get a feel for things before offering feedback, this becomes an issue when too many people do it, which is what we are currently seeing.

At the moment, our script pool has over 50 available scripts, and more than 10 of those are from peers who have not claimed anything to read. Because some of these users may never return, we have to remove their scripts to preserve the Give/Get economy and to prevent well-meaning readers from wasting time and energy on a writer who may have uploaded a script without the intention of contributing.

Any writer whose script was removed is welcome to re-upload it, preferably when they are ready to claim a script to read.

To any writers impacted by this policy...

Please know that one common pitch we have received is that new users should start at 0 tokens, which would force you to read a script before submitting your own. I've been reluctant to fidget with the token system, so this policy update is the happy medium I found, whereby you can still claim and submit at the same time instead of having to finish a read.
