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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

Everything in black font, white font, or any font at all? In other words, given your druthers, would we forbid the white font conversations we've been having?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Right. The current system (whitefont in Natter) isn't broke, and does not need fixing.
I don't think that the current system is formally written down anyplace, however, which might be where the problem lies.
