This is why I'm anti-proliferation. It's too hard to figure out the rules for every damn thread.
I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Except dealing with movie spoillers will pop up no matter what thread they appear in.

Do you want no white font at all then?
I want no white font for anything except major plot details, and I want those things whitefonted until a film comes out on video.
And I want a diet coke.

Our wings are not tired.
How about, whitefont until two weeks after wide release for all comments, and until two weeks after video release for major spoilers?
I like that plan quite a lot. It is the major spoilers that concern me. Also, count me as one who feels that whitefont is just not a big deal.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
How about, whitefont until two weeks after wide release for all comments, and until two weeks after video release for major spoilers?
What do you mean by "all comments"? Does, "Joe Blow's performance blew me away" need to be whitefonted? That seems unnecessary to me. I do agree major spoilers should be white fonted until video.
Question: where does quotation of individual lines fall?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
at do you mean by "all comments"? Does, "Joe Blow's performance blew me away" need to be whitefonted?
Just plot-related comments, I think. So saying "Wow, Brad Pitt can actually act in this!" would be okay, but "Brad Pitt was amazing in Paul Newman's death scene" would need whitefont.

Thanks for the clarification.

Jessica, it really sounds like we're on the same page with this, because I completely agree with you now that you've clarified.

Here's a wacky proposition: Let's not write the rules for a thread we don't have yet. Let's open Movies. And when we hit post 1000 or some other designated number or date, let's pull together our collected gribes and see where we stand.
In fact, I say we open the Movies thread soonish, and bureaucratize it after the Oscars.
