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?
Fred: Oh my God! Angel, you're…cute! Angel: Fred, don't! Fred: Oh, but the little hands! And the hair! Angel: Hey! You're fired.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
White fonting is really that much of a pain?

Whitefonting once isn't a big deal. Whitefonted conversations are incredibly irritating to participate in, so I don't.

If people stop white-fonting in NAFDA threads about other shows, I will have to leave the Firefly thread. I'm on a tape delay for both Buffy and Angel.
If it's too much of a pain to white font for at least two weeks, then, well, bye guys.

I guess I don't mind the white font at all and I don't know when I'm supposed to use it or not, so I just use it whenever I have a question aboaut whether or not it is appropriate.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Personally I always live by "when in doubt, white it out"

It's just the Buffy and Angel threads I was worried about. Firefly has enough unAmericans that whitefonting there all the time for all of 4/7 makes sense. I just wanted a set period after which it would be okay to discuss Angel in Buffy, and Buffy in Angel, but it looks like the Atlantic Canadians are going to be on a one-week Angel Delay, so I give up until if or when it becomes an issue.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
so I give up until if or when it becomes an issue.
I'm with Plei on this. If it ever does become an issue, it'll be glaringly obvious, so we can re-evaluate then.
