A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Main casting and things that are easily stumbled across in the media are fine. Promos and interviews mostly fine. Special guest should be white fonted. Themes OK, exact plot points and widgets not.
Hmm. So, exact plot points for me would be "Xander leaves Anya at the alter" or "Buffy swan-dives". "Riley returns at some point" would be white fontable, "Riley and his wife Sam annoy the crap outta us and make Buffy re-examine her life for the millionth time" would be a no-no.
ETA: Although I'm cool with a Warning Before the Whitefont policy.
ITA, Plei. (Hee, that rhymes.)
Ok so it is pretty clear that everyone but me is anti-thread drift (or at least an overwhelming majority).
But I still think the tape fairly thread is a good idea. It keeps it out of beep me or press (where it does not belong) and it does not get buried in natter.
I'm a bit baffled by the change to Spoiler Lite. TV Guide descriptions very very often include eaxct plot points, so do many articles.
I'm for a tape fairy thread. Stash it on the right in the administrative section.
Oh, and episode titles are generally okay too, but overly descriptive ones should be whitefonted.
(I.e. "Lessons" is fine to post in public, but "Tara's Ghost Teaches Dawn How To Drive" should be whited out.)

Argh. Well, we'll hash it out somehow.
So the only real difference bewteen the Spoiler Lites and the other one is the white fonting and separate topics for each show.
I think "Lite" is a misnomer. It's really "spoilers that are so easy to find it's frustrating not to talk about them on the main thread."

No, not really. No wildfeed information, no Wanda, no couldn't be stumbled across accidentally.
Nothing you'd have to hunt for.
