it's just not clear or memorable enough what the current rule is.
So instead of a new rule, can the current one be added to the FAQ? Unless I've missed it, there's just the explanation of how to make font white. Also, in this part of the FAQ it says:
Spoilers should only be posted in the spoiler thread or in white font in the main thread.
which isn't accurate anymore.
And while I'm reading the FAQ--has there been any thought to editing out the spoilers from the FAQ to provide a FAQ that's safe for UnAmericans? I'd be happy to take a shot at it if people think it's a good idea.
Jen, Unamericans are current up to the end of Season 6. Is there anything in the FAQ that's spoilery for them? I just did a cursory look, and couldn't see anything.
Also, I noticed that there's a question about the Stor-Troopers, which are no longer around. Do we want to delete that?
I don't think there's any Season 7/4 stuff up there, but I wonder if it's only a matter of time.
I dunno. If people don't think it's necessary, that's fine--I don't frequent the UnAmerican thread so I don't know the opinion there.
As an Unamerican, I vote for no spoilers in the FAQ, or whitefonted spoilers only.
(Hey. John. OT. Did you maybe get my emails?)
As an Unamerican, I vote for no spoilers in the FAQ, or whitefonted spoilers only.
I've always assumed that's a given (and I've been doing most of the FAQ editing lately). I wouldn't even put in any white-fonted stuff in the FAQ.
The FAQ used to say where it was spoilery through. Once that stopped I assumed it was because it was Australian safe.
Jon -- I know you're annotating the hell out of your changes up in the revisions section of the FAQ. You and I are the only ones that can edit it, and as you may have noticed, me NSM with the updating.
Which is my segue (but not my segway, since I have not one of those) into:
Q: Was that really Joss?
A: Yes. He's only visited us the once, though, and vague rumors of a Second Coming have so far been just that.
Is that too blasphemous, or just blasphemous enough?
Except that he was here twice.
Just the one day, though, no?
ETA: Oh my God, am I losing time? The aliens! They've come for me!
