I would think "I need a tape" could go in Beep Me, but if y'all are hellbent on another thread, I don't care THAT much!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you come back after 3 weeks dark to check up, do you care that I can't work my VCR? I'm very Beep Me pro keeping it pure.

Oh, and when/if Beep Me rolls over, I'd like to see it titled: Beep Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar

I notice the header for Buffy Semi-Spoilers got changed to expand the scope of the thread to include magazine interviews -- was this done with consensus? Will Angel Semi-Spoilers be expanded the same way?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My understanding was it was the consensus we actually reached at WX, but didn't post, therefore leading to inadvertant spoilage of someone.
Our guiding force, I think, is "common knowledge", which is hard to regulate.

And I don't know about the Angel thing, but my sense is that it should be.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
The new header in Buffy Lite Spoilage is a clarification of thread policy, not a change, so I suppose the Angel Lite Spoilage header should be changed the same way.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
There wasn't consensus, it can be changed back. It was in the original WX mission statement, and should have been there. Same for the Angel Thread, actually.
And it was added in response to a discussion in there. Mea culpa.

Hmm. Well, we have to be both clear and consistent -- there's a lot of new faces here, both to the Buffistas in general, and to each thread in specific.
So we have to carefully but thoroughly move from hivemind to documentation -- and with Angel thread too.
Knowledge is rarely common enough.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So, you're saying that our next step towards world domination is ISO 9001?
