In hard-time lockup, all the Spoiler Hos would form a whole prison gang, and make the poor Spoiler Fishies into their Bitches, and plot against the screws that walk the tier.You say that like it is only a hypothetical.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't have anything to add to this discussion, but the idea of a thread titled "The Soylent Green Diet" amuses me.
Carry on.

I do see a point in whitefonting for west coast airing
It's not so necessary. I got used to hopping out of the show threads when their particular shows aired on the east coast. Again, it's not a particular hardship. We don't have to pitch the standard to maximum convenience for the spoiler avoidant. I think we shoot for something which is clear, easy to remember and promotes discussion.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It'd be a shame to have to wait to discuss Stargate until after BSG airs to avoid being spoiled. Doesn't affect me, though, so my opinion is not so valuable.

David and Brenda speak for me on this. I've never been able to participate in watch-and-post (by virtue of not having a computer near the tv, and because I've been on the west coast since I got into online fandom), so having to stay out of a thread for a few days is not a big deal for me.
I've gotten randomly spoiled for a few things because I wasn't able to figure out what the whitefont referred to, though -- it'd be nice to have it all clear what the whitefont was for.

Just weighing in:
Whitefonting unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, and identifying it as such and including the show and ep title in blackfont, seems easy and clear.
As for whatever post-n-watch happens, I guess the norm in the other threads has been blackfont as the show is airing on the east coast, right? But I don't mind whitefonting until the west coast has seen it, too.
I'm neutral on the thread slug, blurb, and title (except would like to keep Boxed Set in it). Though, yeah, if we list shows, it'd be nice to have SG and BSG in there.

Our wings are not tired
It'd be a shame to have to wait to discuss Stargate until after BSG airs to avoid being spoiled.
This is the tricky part. These three shows air back to back over three hours. So as a west coaster there's good opportunity to pop in to discuss the currently airing SG-1 and get spoiled for the BSG that's going to air in three hours since it's currently being discussed.

I know Buffy 5x5 has long since been used (if not for a Buffy thread, then definitely somewhere).
I dunno - Buffy 5: Yes, we're still talking about her

Buffy 5x5: And By Five We Mean Porn was the first Buffista thread I ever posted in, way way back on TT.
