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.

I'm pro cross-discussion between the show threads, with a one-week delay. I think that eliminates the risk of spoiling for most tape-delayed posters, while still allowing most discussions to take place.
I'm neutral on the War thread. I think it would be an interesting thing to have, and that it would allow for more in-depth discussion than Natter does. But I can also see the argument that it's outside our scope. A mailing list may be the best solution, though I do think the discussion would lose something.
It's past the vote deadline for the movies thread -- could a Stompy create it? The majority vote-getter is "Buffista Movies 1: Who Doesn't Love Denzel?"
I've kind of come round to the anti-war-thread position, but not because we should stick to being a TV and popular culture board, as someone suggested...I think we stopped being that on September 11, 2001.
I agree that there should be at least some form of cross discussion allowed at some point. Sometimes the spoiler avoidance stuff gets out of hand, and I am one who hates to be spoiled. Yet you would think simply mentioning the FE in Angel would not be considered spoiling by now. But I gather that is not the case. Yet the FE's been known to have been around since, what, October?
Is anyone on a five month delay for watching the shows?
Um, Schmoker? White font in this thread, please.

Yes, Unamericans. Who read Bureaucracy.
(x-post with Am-Chau).
When do people overseas get the show?
Thanks for fixing it Schmoker.
(I personally had already been spoilt on that particular issue by an Australian newspaper! Bastards. Although apart from that and one other thing that I read in whitefont in a moment of madness, I'm amazingly unspoilt for the coming season.)
Schmoker, Australians have just seen Episode 2 of Buffy Season 7, and we'll get Ep. 2 of Angel S4 tomorrow. The rule in threads that are not marked "NAFDA"--ie this thread, Natter, etc.--is that an episode is fair game after Australia has seen it.
I see now. But I'm still a little confused. If you don't get either show until months later, how does whitefonting Angel in Buffy, and vice-versa, help? Because we aren't whitefonting Buffy in Buffy, nor Angel in Angel, so if you go in there you are spoiled anyway. So what does it matter?
