Chiming in to say I'd prefer no white-font as well, but will live with it if necessary. Not sure how we handle the decision, though. Would it need to be an official vote, or an in-thread show of hands (aka bullshit consensus)?
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.
'War Stories'
Spoilers 3: First Mutant Enemy, Now the World

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I really dislike the whitefont, myself, and once I'm in Spoilers, I'm happy to be spoiled about any show. I guess the question really is, is this thread for complete spoiler 'hos?

Here's another question: should we go to Bureaucracy and get a Lost spoilers thread? Would that solve some issues?

Not ideal for me either, but I'm already getting used to the whitefonting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Would that solve some issues?
Temporarily. The idea that some people want to be spoiled for one show and not another will still be valid.
If this is not to be a thread for them (us), then so be it. It's not something I think should be consensed on, though.

I think we should exhaust all consensing before returning to Bureau, myself.
I also don't give a rat's patoot if we whitefont or not. I am like unto a dead fishie. I will go with yon flow.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
If the consensus seems to be leaning towards changing anything, I think we do need to take it to B'cy so that people don't click on this thread expecting nice safe whitefont and end up getting unwantedly spoiled.
As much as it pains me, the simplest solution might be to just officially propose a no-whitefont policy, and take it to Lightbulbs right away, leaving this thread free for spoilers in the meantime.

I see the black print. I no understand what this says.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm thinking that the ultimate solution may be simply having a Spoilers Lite thread again. There seems to be some desire for that, and that could be whitefonted. But I do think the people who want to dip their toe into a casting spoiler or two, or tiptoe through the whitefont, have a fundamentally different approach to spoilers than people who are full-spoiler sluts.

I'd be good with that, too.
