Erm, I agree and disagree on different levels. What you seem to be suggesting is that everyone who isn't making a high quality script shouldn't script at all, when in fact people might like to re-create a script to learn stuff; the goal of writing a script isn't necessarily to make an amazing script everyone will want. However, I agree with the fact only the scripts that seem to be popular or a wanted script should be submitted to the database. The problem arrises i trying to define a quality script, or a script that performs a new feature. For example, taking a simple script idea and someone uses lots of text files with messy coding and ultimately it just works, then this script would be submitted because it performs a new function. However, then another person comes along and re-scripts this idea to a higher standard, is it fair to just discard the original script and effort the original scripter worked so hard on? It's a vague topic and frankly, I don't see a problem with the current system: just don't download the scripts you don't want, problem solved.

I agree with that mostly, but the original script developer should have been advised to put it on the forum and ask for some guidance in how to improve it rather than instant submission because of it's uniqueness.
