You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Spoilers 3: First Mutant Enemy, Now the World

[NAFDA] Spoilers for any and all currently running TV shows. All hardcore spoilage, all the time. No white font.

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.

Adding my me too, I have no strong feelings one way or the other about whitefont. I do like the idea of a show specific spoiler thread. Um, for Lost. Currently, Lost is pretty much the only show I'm interested in spoilers for. That said, I'm not following the other shows that seem to be mentioned here, so I don't really mind skimming through those posts.

What is even happening?

t font="whispered voice-over"

Let us observe the Buffistas, as they approach a new, and difficult decision making model.

For reference, we have divided our subjects into two groups: spoiler, shall we say, hos; and the spoiler curious. The goal of the spoiler hos is to rid themselves of the fetters of white font. The spoiler curious are attempting to retain some semblance of being unspoiled.

For either group to accomplish their ends, in any permanent way, at least one must attempt to scale the bureaucracy/proposal/discussion/voting hurdle.

Which, if any, will rise to the challenge? It is too soon to tell. Stay tuned for the next episode of, When Bureaucracy Attacks--here, on FOX.

This experiment is being conducted on a closed-course, under professional supervision, at optimum conditions. Please do not try this on USENET.

I still didn't understand Jessica's post. I ain't touching B'cracy.

LeN, I was just trying to suggest that making policy decisions in the policy threads instead of in here might be less of a headache because once a proposal is made, discussed, and voted on, it's over in a week. (As opposed to the consensus method, which can drag things on for-fucking-ever.)
