I'm going to state that I don't really like the 2/3 notion, because Angelus returning wouldn't have been a spoiler by the 2/3 thing.
Although I'm confused: are you only talking 2/3 WRT Opening Credits Cast?
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

Thanks for all the fish.
You asked where the posters debuted.
Yes, and you answered, thank you. Then I asked a second question. Which you answered. Thank you.
I understand it would suck to not be able to post in show threads for two months – but OTOH, we're really talking about *one* thread (Angel) for *eight* weeks.
Are we? Talking about one thread, I mean? I asked this upthread - if people start talking freely about this issue or issues will it just be in the Angel thread, or the other NAFDA threads (Bitches, Bitchy Fic, Buffy (which will still be around for a while, IIRC))?

Another social casualty...
Question regarding "common knowledge":
Many posts back I posited a hypothetical question about casting. What if an ME had been arrested for some crime, which then affected said actor's ability to be on the show. How would that situation be defined?
Specific example. Whe Robert Downey, Jr. was on Ally McBeal, his life issues affected his appearance on the show. Now, RDJ is a well known actor, and AB was a highly visible show. The story got lots of coverage and was hard to avoid. However, neither Angel (or other ME shows) nor their supporting actors are quite so high profile, so a similar story might not be so widely reported and might not become "common knowledge".
Do we refrain from ever mentioning it? Who decides "common knowledge"? These generalizations are complicating the issue for me. When does a "spoiler" become news?

Re: common knowledge:
My 8 year old knows about it (the Big Shiny Spoiler) - one of his friends told him.

It's my understanding that opening credits are all we're talking about. A lot of things we considered spoilers (Angelus and Faith last season, and I think Connor's case of SORAS) wouldn't have been under the 2/3 rule, and I don't think the board as a whole wants to make that change.

I don't know -- I was assuming one thread, but I know it will be hard to enforce. Proposers?

A fair question. I'd like to know the answer myself.
I think that it's when it becomes more than just trade (or 'entertainment') news. When it hits the mainstream. I don't know if that complicates things or not.

What about if Alexis Denisof dies due to injuries incurred during the honeymoon? Could we talk about that?

No, it wouldn't be just one thread. It would be in NAFDA.

I think we'd need a videotape exchange.
