That would be a help. "Brits have seen 7.4 and 3.3; Aussies 7.1 and 3.1" or whatever. It would give people a much better idea- although which part of the slug/thread title/thread description it should go in is debateable.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No offense, but the Australian dibbsed the timeline. The moment you add another schedule into the mix, it's going to be way too confusing, and people will be whitefonting S1.

Oh, yeah, just the Australian one. My bad. What I really meant was, yes, that's quite a good idea.

How about regularly updating the Unamericans thread slug?
This question comes up in lots of un-NAFDA threads.

They're the most behind (other than me, and I'm spoiled in my UnAmerican way of reading NAFDA-episodes descriptions), so it only makes sense, because once they know about a plot point, it means it's open for all t /states the obvious

True. Perhaps a link over the posting box (with the HTML and quick-edit guides) that leads to a page which tells you where the Australians are at? Is that possible? Or a hit-counter type box that says "Spoiler font needed for before Buffy 7.1 and Angel 3.1" or whatever?

Well, actually the last episode shown in Spain has been "Fool for love".
But don't set policies on our account. Spain is so far behind that it's just ridiculous to ask people to whitefont for it, and besides, the only spaniard that matters is me, and I'm following the show in real time, so...

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
This question comes up in lots of un-NAFDA threads.
True, but this way the answer is a single click away, right on the front page. I'm also thinking the slug is easier to update than the FAQ (more automated and more folks have access to do the updating).

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)
O, IC. If we took that quote out completely, would some other quote show up as much? Maybe the randomizer is broken or something.
So there's only the one quote database, then? I guess it wasn't feasible to make separate db's for Angel and Buffy quotes, plus the code would have to be different for the B/A thread pages.

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

Yes -- it's whichever quote is first in the list. (It used to be "It's all about the coat.")

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
We could hack it to look for a different quote if it came up with that one.
