I'll second as well.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Vortex, can you spoiler out that recurring actor's information?
If you are talking about Max Martini (scruffy ginger goodness), that's not current season information.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, cool. I thought it had happened since September. No worries, then.

That kinda makes my point, doesn't it?

Yeah, I screwed that up last season, which is probably why I'm a little sensitive on that one :)

I don't think so at all, but feel free to chase that down in Lightbulbs, not here.

I tweaked the blurb for Spoilers Lite, but the FAQ language on spoilers needs to be changed. I have no brain, so I'm not going to word it.
This:
A. Anything that hasn't been broadcast. So anything from the show and the preview trailers is okay, anything from TV Guide or anywhere else is a spoiler, including casting news, episode titles and plot twists.
and this:
Q. Are all casting news items considered spoilers?
A. Most. When in doubt, treat them as spoilers (see previous Q&A). Certain main cast information is allowed during the Northern Hemisphere's summer off-season, under our Summer Casting Rules.
Major casting changes, to the Main Cast Only, announced by the network or studio, may be discussed, within their respective show threads only (e.g. post Angel news in the Angel thread, not in Bitches, not the other NAFDA threads), 4 weeks after the announcements, or 4 weeks after the previous season finale, whichever comes later. This allows those posters who wish to remain free from all casting news, to safely use the show threads for post-season discussion.
This casting news definition includes cast additions or departures that occur over summer hiatus only (not midseason). Plot points related to the character's arrival or departure are to be treated as spoilers. The Main Cast are those characters appearing in the opening credits. Summertime discussion of news regarding recurring and guest roles is not allowed in the main show threads, and must be contained to a spoiler or spoilers-lite thread.
Also this isn't exactly accurate:
Q. Do I have to use the white font for spoilers?
A. In the Spoilage Lite threads, yes. In the main hardcore spoiler thread, no, but it's good form if there is something really really shocking and impending. Like, for example, quotes from an early-bird review. Also, be aware that people using text-only browsers like Lynx don't get any juice out of the white font, so it's nice to give them a text-only warning that there are spoilers ahead.
Some things are allowed in black font in Spoilers Lite. Ep titles, and maybe guest stars who are not new characters. Or maybe not. That's kind of fuzzy. Clarification desired.

Do we have any writers still on board? I remember some stuff was under revision--where does that stand? Are we shy volunteers?
