There's asking questions about the industry...
And then there's posting two pages from your script on a QUESTION AND ANSWER web board, winkingly saying "Hey, what does everyone think?" when clearly... you could show your script to friends, to a professor, to people on an open web board. Or you could submit it to a web site that's about trading and critiquing scripts... there's a handful of those... or hire a reader to give you an idea of what you've got.
If you're posting it on a web board (that clearly isn't a script exchange) that is operated by a group of filmmakers to answer questions and disseminate information to their fans... you are pretty fucking obviously putting it up on that board to have it "Seen" by People.
It's pretty obviously not being posted innocently. The Otherboard... maybe even Film-411, it could be written off as being done innocently. Here... it's about as obvious as that Sam Adams commerical where the writers are trying to sneak scripts in, via pizza delivery.
C'mon, we're not children here, we don't need to deal in veiled shit.
