I agree with Hec. I used to love BOTh the Spoilers Lite thread AND going and reading the great discussions in spoilers after I had been surprised.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Also, would people who are reading spoiler font remember to use spoiler font, as DX mentioned?

Sophia! Hi.
Also, would people who are reading spoiler font remember to use spoiler font, as DX mentioned?This worries me, too. And really, highlighting is a one-click (okay, and drag) solution, already.
David, Plei, and le nubian explained how full-blown spoiling is for me, too. But also, there's a luxury of forgetfulness to it. I don't have to remember *how* I know something (that is to know if it is postable in a full spoilers thread), or if I know it, or just put it together from a combination of non-spoilers, spoilers, and news.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The more I think about it, the messier it gets. What if you've turned off spoiler font, and want to quoteback something someone else has said? If you're a good Buffista citizen, you'll have to turn the spoiler font back on to see exactly what parts of the passage you're quoting are spoiler fonted so you can duplicate the spoiler fonting in the quoteback. Then you actually have to do all the requisite spoiler fonting in the quoteback and in your own post, and then you can turn spoiler font off again. Until the next time you want to post something. That's gonna get to be a huge pain in the ass.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm ready to vote for a Spoiler Lite thread and focus the current thread on hard-core spoilers.
What needs to be done?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Would you like to make a proposal, LeN? Word the actual vote?
Come on in -- the water's fine!

The rules for a proposal and vote etc. are here.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay, let me start with a proposal in bold font and run it up a flag pole:
I propose the addition of a Spoiler Lite thread and I propose the current Spoiler thread be designated as content for "hard core" spoilers and spoiler discussion.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
