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.

So if we take SA's description here:
Slug: Thread for the discussion of original cable drama--but not scifi/fantasy (that's Boxed Set!) or pay-to-play (that's Premium Cable!). Psychics, detectives, surgeons, and firemen welcome. NAFDA.
Header: Thread for original cable dramas, including but not limited to TNT, USA, TBS, and F/X. Talk about shows that aren't discussed in Boxed Set (The Dead Zone, Stargates, The 4400) or Premium Cable (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax) are discussed here (Psych, Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, The Riches, The Shield, Monk, etc). This thread is NAFDA.
and get rid of (The Dead Zone, Stargates, The 4400) and (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax), is that better?
Either that or:
Header: Thread for original cable dramas, including but not limited to TNT, USA, TBS, and F/X. Talk about shows that aren't discussed in Boxed Set (sf/fantasy like The Dead Zone, Stargates, The 4400) or Premium Cable (on HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and the like) are discussed here (Psych, Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, The Riches, The Shield, Monk, etc). This thread is NAFDA.
Just as long as open lists are clearly open.
Works for me either way.
On another question upthread, about BBCA, it depends.
Manchild
would be this thread,
So Graham Norton
not.
Would Manchild?
Wouldn't that go in the Comedy thread?
It makes sense to me to just leave off the parenthetical explanations - if someone is not sure what goes in Boxed Set and/or Premium, looking at their respective slugs and headers would clarify better than a truncated description in Cable Drama.
Can I nitpick? If you take out the parentheticals you get:
Talk about shows that aren't discussed in Boxed Set or Premium Cable are discussed here.
Snip either "Talk about" or "are discussed here."
The next writing thread really needs to be called "Here be Nits. Picking at them will make them go away."
Could another stompy please close the Lightbulbs thread? I can't do it from work.
Would you end up closing sixty threads if you tried?
FYI (and as a reminder to myself), even though voting closes Monday at 11am PDT, I won't be able to post the results until I get home that night.
