Personally I always live by "when in doubt, white it out"
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

If it's too much of a pain to white font for at least two weeks, then, well, bye guys.
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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I agree, and I appreciate the consideration that lets me, on tape delay, read and post happily.

Actually, Plei, hopefully we will only be a day behind (which is how things are now), and not a week, if Space has their act in gear.

Up with the sun
A two or four-week delay totally makes sense because it can take that long to get and watch a tape. But whitefonting things from October, NSM. I agree with Katie that whitefonting everything makes it hard to hold a conversation. OTOH, whitefonting is not the hugest pain in the world or anything. So I guess I'm really neutral on this one.

Is there a standard amount of time that we are supposed to be whitefonting current season epis in other show threads?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think it's to be UK safe -- which means I just white font everything I think is the current season because it saves math.

But in NAFDA threads?
I understand in non-NAFDA threads. . . I wasn't aware before this week that we were (for example) not spoiling Angel in NAFDA Buffy or Firefly threads.
