Xander ,'Lessons'
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Not unlike Natter, or like people want Natter to be. Have the option of discussing tv in Natter without being told the discussion is elsewhere, or explicitly is elsewhere (and not here).
Except the change that you are supporting precisely allowed nannying to happen in Natter.
Frankly, I think asking what the goal of all of this is valid and interesting because it seems like, from all sides mine included, the goal is to make the threads operate in the way most satisfying to each individual.

I think the nannying only occurred because no one nannied the nannier. Hopefully, now that this has been pointed out a number of times, it'll work out right.

Concur. And I think that's one of the positive effects of this discussion. Natter is a non-nannying zone. You can natter about anything in Natter.
If people want to white font discuss Grey's Anatomy in Natter, that's totally kosher and does not need to be redirected to any potential drama threads.

Word. If someone comes into Natter and asks "Where are we talking about X?", then direction can be given. Otherwise, if someone wants to come into Natter and talk about any TV, they should be allowed.
(Of course, I'm not sure that that concept reflects our current attitude toward certain shows that have a home (I'm thinking of Boxed Set).)
Even then I'd think such discussion kosher as long as it's whitefonted... it's just more likely to get responses in the thread devoted to such shows.
OK. the ballot is working (yay!). ita -- please confirm that aurelia is set up to get votes@... and I'll put the ballot up first thing in the morning.
Aurelia's set up.

Part one:
Do you want a non-fiction thread, which would encompass the same shows as the Experimental Non-fiction thread, namely reality television (The Amazing Race, Survivor, Top Chef), documentaries (The History Channel, The Discovery Channel), and sundry (Mythbustes, Ghost Hunters)?
yes, no, no preference
Part two:
Do you want this thread to have whitefronted discussion?
yes, no, no preference
Part three:
How long should whitefront be if there is whitefront?
24 hours, 72 hours, no preference
Yay for things working!
