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.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

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?
