I think it's stifling show discussion on the shows that are actually related and set in the same verse
I disagree. That the shows are related and in the same verse, for starters, but I don't want to throw tape-fairied people out of the one show thread they're live in.

I'm not saying that we can't have a holding time on discussing it, but a reasonable one seems fair, like 2-3 weeks or something.
I vote for white-font discussing. I can hardly remember what happened S3 versus 4, much less how many weeks ago an event this season I want to talk about happened.
I'm fine with white fonting, but I do think it's going a bit overboard, like spoiler fonting the fact that Glowy Cordy ascended. Wasn't that last season?
PS--like my exemplary use of spoiler font?
You whitefont that because I burst into tears every time I see it.
Make it go AWAY, Joss!
Hey, it wasn't as bad as it could have been if Glowy Cordelia hadn't ascended and instead spent the start of this season spouting platitudes, banishing the world's ills, and macking on Angel. IJS
As one of the tape delay folks, I really appreciate the spoiler policy as it currently stands. I don't want to be spoiled for Buffy while discussing Angel, and the latter might not prompt me to discuss anything at all if I had to wait a week after each broadcast before reading the thread. But discussing the interconnection while making use of whitefont seems like it should work.
I think using spoiler font for anything that happened within the same month seems reasonable, but if someone really doesn't know about Cordy, they shouldn't be in a NAFDA thread. As for bureaucracy, hasn't our policy always been to white out the current season?
No. That started sometime this year - I actually think Matt's situation wrt UPN or WB or whichever one he doesn't get may have been what initiated it.
I'd like some sort of a time limit too. It's silly that we can't mention how Angel got out of the box on Buffy, etc.
Oh, you mean white out in Bureaucracy! Yeah, I think that's right.
White fonting is really that much of a pain?
