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

No.

Here's the spoiler policy I'm going to use, subject to further revision. I figure we have until 8 p.m. EST Friday to hash this out.

1) Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

2) Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

(Alternate suggestion is that we white font for a few hours or so after broadcast so the left coast folks commenting on SG-1 don't get spoiled for BSG.)

Our wings are not tired.

The good citizens of Buffistaville have voted in adequate numbers to surpass the ultimate number. Vote early if not often and results will be posted Thursday after midnight if I am awake. (More likely early Friday morning)

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

Wait, so this is voting for the Buffy & Angel combo-thread, or is it voting on spoiler policy for the Boxed Set II thread?

Buffy and Angel.

I'm hoping we can consense the spoiler policy.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Yeah, those Buffy and Angel spoilers are getting out of hand.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Ok, so, about spoilers.

My thought is that, in this particular case, dealing with 2 different classes of spoilers for 3 shows is going to be too big a PitA to be worthwhile.

I know that it's problematic for the West Coast, but IMO, the best option is blackfont when aired on the East Coast.

I watch Tivo delayed much of the time so it won't hit me. Just means that the thread pretty much becomes a no-fly zone for everyone but the east coasters for most of Friday night since the shows are back to back.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Not to complicate things, but why not go back to the "white-font for two weeks" rule that was used to discuss Angel in the NAFDA Buffy thread and vice versa? Substitute any "x length of time" that seems appropriate.

I don't have an investment, because I'm not spoiler averse, but thought I would throw it out there since I hadn't seen anyone propose it yet.
