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 vote we whitefont plot details until two weeks after wide release, like the Ovies forum does.
I'd like it if we whitefonted major plot twists at least until the film goes to video. I mean, it's no big surprise the leads in a romantic comedy are gonna end up together -- but it might take me more than 2 weeks to see a thriller, and I really don't want to stumble across the information that the protagonist is also the murderer or whatever. But that may just be me.
The hobbits have their own thread. They'll be okay.

Movies:
Description: A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Please don't be too spoilery for new releases or those twist endings- everybody's movie watching habits vary.

Edit: Yes, I'm slow, but work gets in the way...
The tape delayed really need to chime in with the ideal time period.
The weekend is too short for me. Typically when basketball delays Buffy it re-airs Sunday at noon. Or, UPN will say it re-airs Sunday at noon, but instead it airs Saturday at 2. Which I will find out, Sunday at noon, and, like I am doing right now, have to scramble for a local tape. I can't watch tonight's until I watch that tape, etc., etc. In addition to which, Angels airs Wednesday night; that leaves a total of two days to get the tape. My strong vote is a week (if not two).
Please don't be too spoilery
Given that we've been explicit about what's a spoiler and what's not ME show related, and people still stumble, we're going to have to be way explicit here.
About whitefont for Movies threads: don't forget UNamericans. Movies often don't get released in Europe until months after the U.S. release. Though in some, isolated cases, they get released before...
(Another whitefont, another headache, isn't it?).
I feel like the spoiler policy will work itself out to some extent. I post that Darth Vadar is Luke's father, someone else says "hey, not everyone has seen that yet, please delete or edit," I do it. Community discussion and self-moderation may be better than trying to come up with iron-clad rules that will satisfy everyone.

I like this part.

This could be a year or more, depending on the movie. If we're going to have a movies thread at all, I think it has to be one where current films can be openly discussed.
Maybe a month after wide release, instead of two weeks?
