Up with the sun

I think "until the next show" should be clarified as "until the next show airs or would have aired."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Except that can be 6 weeks during some of the hiatuses (hiati?). It seemed to me that everyone was happy with one week.

That's why the full sentence, which I was too lazy to type, was until the next show airs or would have aired. Which is still one week.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

But by saying it will be white fonted, I think it implies it's okay if you white font a spoiler in the thread, don't you?

OK, that makes sense. I'll change the slugs to say "deleted" only.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

It isn't the will-power. it is more that it is amazing what one can figure out from very oblique discussion and/or reactions. For example, if someone posts a spoiler, and it makes PMoon very happy and Susan W. angry, I can deduce that perhaps Spike is going full on evil.

I changed the descriptions in the current Buffy, Angel and Firefly main threads. Any others?

Nobody

Old slug...

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though—if you post one by accident, an admin will white-font or delete it.

Proposed new slugs for Buffy and Angel threads

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. If you want to discuss Angel in the BtVS thread or vice versa, please white font the discussion of new episodes for at least one week after they've aired.

Anyone?

Ahhh. That makes a lot of sense, actually. Thanks Sophia.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

For example, if someone posts a spoiler, and it makes PMoon very happy and Susan W. angry, I can deduce that perhaps Spike is going full on evil.

Heh -- either that or he's finally getting staked.

(But yes, oblique spoiler-taunting based on whitefont is almost never as oblique as people think.)

That looks good to me Cindy.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Also about the willpower, please remember that some Buffistas' browsers do not support white font.

Okay, so the slug I wrote for the Movies thread is much too long. How about:

Everything but hobbits and Kristy Swanson.
