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.

Let me be more specific. As someone who loves movies, but doesn't go to see them - I don't think the world owes me white font because I don't get to the movies. I'll be happy with anything and have learned from years at Buffy boards to avert mine eyes quite quickly.
What I meant was, I think the two week/two week spoiler policy is fine for most people. To satisfy my own insanely-heightened spoilerphobia, a movie thread would have to consist of:
Buffista 1: Saw No Way Out last night on video I can't believe that...
Buffista 2: Please whitefont that B1. I haven't seen it yet.
Buffista 1: Of course, how inconsiderate of me.
Buffista 3: This thread sucks.
Title: Buffista Movies 1: Who doesn't love Denzel?
Slug: Someone else write this because I suck at slugs (and I know one was already written, but I'm too busy right now to look for it).
Header: 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. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Slug: Did you know that the Chinese characters for "movie" translate literally into "electric shadow"? Isn't that pretty? Um. Yeah, so, this is the Buffistas movie talk thread. Drop on by.
(P.S. Can we please drop the "O" in old to lower case? "old and new"? That second part isn't a complete sentence. Thanks!!)
Sue's slug was pretty good:

Edit: Oops, this is actually part of her header. I apologize.
Oh, I thought that was the header. Isn't a little long for a slug?
It's actually kind of both:

But I agree it may be long. My suggestion was:
Movies and Foamies and Oscars, oh my! The Buffistas go Hollywood.
But I'm not especially attached to that -- it was just the first thing to pop into my head.
Slug?: A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. Spoiler policy at the top of the thread.

No offense, but I'm sick of the 'Oh my' construction. How about just "The Buffistas go Hollywood."
Or
"The balcony is open."
(Siskel, you are not forgotten!)
None taken.
Problem with just ...go hollywood is that we used it back when we were trying to write a script. But we can recycle if no one but me remembers that.
Or just go with something else entirely, cos I admit it pretty much sucks.

You are not alone, Lyra Jane. I still have the results stored somewhere on my hard drive.
I like "The balcony is open" part, but let's not get too carried away with suggestions here, or we may need another poll.
