I'm hoping we can consense the spoiler policy.

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

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.

Our wings are not tired
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.

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.

Two weeks is an awfully long time. I'd prefer it to be until after the show airs on the west coast.

Two weeks is an awfully long time.
That's why I added the proviso about substituting any appropriate time. I just remember it was two weeks in the Buffy/Angel threads. Or was it a week? Whatever. It was an increment of weeks, I'm pretty sure of that.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
It was a week, I think. But it's different in that you still had the Buffy thread to talk about Buffy and the Angel thread to talk about Angel. With Box Set, there's no equivilent.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Normally I'd agree with Debet, but in this case with the shows airing back to back, I think whitefonting wouldn't get too complicated. I'd say either whitefont until the start of West Coast broadcast,`or, if we want things to go black all at the same time, maybe whitefont until 10 pm board time.
