I miss the smell of bullshit consensus in the air.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I like that version too!

I like Polar Bear.
I'm fine with naming threads here. Just floated that boat, which seems to have sunk to the bottom of the pond.
The more serious issue which needs to be broached is whether Spoilers needs to be split into Spoiler Sluts and Spoilers Lite. People who are not active or interested in Spoilers would not know that conversation is going on over there, so I'll just mention that it's being discussed.
I really don't know if there's interest in Spoilers Lite, or if the anti-proliferationistas would have a stroke, but I do think there's a useful need for it.
OTOH, folks over in Spoilers might consense on something that wouldn't require a new thread.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Here's one solution (I'm not wedded to it so it could be shot down)...
keep Spoilers thread hard core, no white font and leave episode descriptions and titles in white font on the main threads.
However, what about for shows that don't have a main thread?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think splitting Spoilers into Spoiler Sluts and Spoilers Lite might be the easiest way to make the most people happy. (Spoiler Sluts would be a no-whitefont zone, and Spoilers Lite would inherit whatever whitefonting rules the old Lite Spoiler threads used to have.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How many people would use a semi-spoiler thread?

Jesse, I like to know what the TV Guide says, who's writing an episode, if there will be any special guests, stuff like that. IIRC, sumi mentioned being disappointed it was gone, once, and I think Wolfram did too, but I won't swear to those.

Wow. We're getting the spoilers lite thread back?
