We kind of loosely do that in Boxed Set already. It's not codified, though.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm pretty sure I brought up the idea of prefacing posts in the past, but it never went anywhere. I think it would make it so much easier to skip over posts for shows you don't watch or haven't watched yet.

Someone should make a proposal!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I think you're probably joking, but I don't think you need a formal proposal for that. It's just asking people to be polite by identifying their posts.
Prefacing sounds fine to me, and it could be mentioned in the header.

Could it be added to the header of Boxed Set as well, without a proposal?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I can pretty much guarantee that I am going to forget to label my posts when a conversation gets going.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, that seems extreme for general convo. Maybe if something might be spoilery, but then why not just white font?

When I do it in Boxed Set, I don't do it for every post, but I try to remember to do it if one show (say, Orphan Black) is being discussed, but I'm about to interrupt that flow by posting about a different show (like Arrow). But if people are already posting about Arrow and I'm going to join in, I wouldn't preface my post with "Arrow:".

Okay, how about this, including Tom's suggested list of applicable series/films...
