Re: Black List founder Franklin Leonard answers your questions about the Black List
It could be that easy. When you don't have any pending reviews, the writer can activate/deactivate a script at their leisure whenever they want, and their subscription is paused. From what I understand, I could upload a script, pause it on the second day, come back 3 months later, and still have ~30 days left.
I have no idea why this ability is turned off when you order a paid review, but it is intentional. And from a programming standpoint, it's much the same as the activate/deactivate function, except it's internally controlled. This leads me to believe that it would be easy to remove to give control back to the writer.
Perhaps the ability to activate/deactivate a script's hosting is removed so that the paid reviewer has access to the script at all times, until the review is completed. That's a weak excuse too, because the system could easily just make scripts always available to a paid reader at all times, even if the script has been deactivated by the writer.
