What's the difference between Wanda and TVGuide?
That's a serious question.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
That's probably only something a totally spoiled person could answer.

What's the difference between Wanda and TVGuide?
She hunts for spoilers. She's all about giving out spoilers.
TV Guide tends to, with some annoying exceptions, be more vague about things, and can be hard to avoid it you're looking up times/is it an new episode/etc.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
My gut feeling is that Wanda publishes spoilers and TVGuide publishes summaries. Since I don't read Wanda, I have no idea how widely their content differs.

I guess my question is, if the Official Word is Wanda=not OK, TVGuide=OK, how do you know where other things fall. If I saw it on E! is it OK? If I read it online at the Washington Post website?
I just don't know how to make it clear for new people, and I think that's what the policy/blurb need to be.

"When in doubt, white it out" was the policy at WX.

Personally, I'd love to read a thread with whitefonted spoilers, each with a description of what kind of spoiler it is.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
See, this is why I avoid spoiler threads entirely, even though I don't necessarily avoid getting spoiled. It's just easier.
Ok so it is pretty clear that everyone but me is anti-thread drift (or at least an overwhelming majority).
I may be misunderstanding you, but I thought it was the other way around. What many of us like about Natter is the thread drift from topic to topic, and therefore we didn't want to see topic-specific Natter threads.

Burrell speaks for me. I love going into Natter and having no clue where those 40 (or more) unread messages are going to take me.
I do like the idea of a tape fairy thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, all of you fairy lovers ... thread title?
