IIRC, we were urging people not to even whitefont Buffy (etc.) stuff in Natter, because that's just too mean.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
serial:
I figure we were following a 2-week rule or something so that if for some reason we wanted to discuss a North Shore from the beginning of the summer -- we could do it.
This is why we need codify, methinks. I was following a season-long rule, becaust it'll take about that long for the rest of the world to catch up on the Momoa-goodness.

I am very pro-whitefont, for several reasons. It makes skimming past easier for people who aren't interested, and is kinder for people who are interested, but haven't seen the show yet.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I think the whitefonting in Natter has been working pretty well, sans codification, but I've got no argument if people want to set it out more specifically.

Art Crawl!!!
Well, there were all these people who don't get a blank screen when stuff is whitefonted -- which is why we really had to stop the whitefont, isn't it?

What is even happening?
The rule (without looking at the descriptions or FAQ) as I understood it was: If there's a thread for it (i.e. one of our shows, like an ME production or bastard thereof), you can't discuss current season in Natter. If it's a non-our-show (24, Alias, Survivor, Jack and Bobby, etc.), we could white font (indicating what show was being in white font) and discuss in Natter. In addition, all shows were fair game in the NAFDA threads, like Bitches.

Is that true with the quick-edit "s" code too, or was it just with t font color="white" ? I remember it was a browser issue.

Cindy, as I understand it, the middle ground was never written down.
I'm very opposed to current seasons of everything becoming okay in Natter. Not just because Jars and Am Chau could ruin us all for MI-5. It just ain't right.
If all current stuff becomes verboten, then we'd pretty much have to have a TV thread, and I think I've been talkative enough about that.
I like the current system (the one *I* was following, in my head) quite a bit (which is kinda why I was following it).

I like it too, for the reasons stated by others.
