I'd be good with that, too.

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.
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.

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.)
I'd rather this was Non-Sluts Beware forewarned zone, rather than a pick and choose whitefont-everywhere zone.
Me too.
I see spoiler space as a workable compromise, and it's what I was trying to suggest upthread. Scrolling bugs me much less than whitefont does.
Well.... it sounds like, over in BBaBB our resident coding geniuses, including our beloved weremonkey, are working on the possibility of allowing us to pick and choose which threads we see (or, I guess, not see) spoiler font in. That would allows hos to not have to deal with white font here, while the merely curious would still have to highlight spoiler font to read it.
Don't know if they'll be successful, but it sounds like that's what they're trying to do.
It also sounds like they're working on making spoiler font truly transparent, and not just white.
Unless Gus is working on his own, that hasn't been started yet. Changes are being made to make the coding easier, but no coding has officially begun.
Ahhh.... Okay. Thanks, ita.
I thought I understood the geek-speak. I mistranslated.
I'm not even sure that it solves the problem all that well. Not that it can't be coded, but if you turn off the white font for your own viewing, what's going to remind you to use white font when you post for those who don't turn it off.
