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

Only in hushed and awed tones.

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

I was assuming the one thread, as well. The proposer needs to address this in the proposal before it goes to a vote.

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.

There was a Joss interview in a major Boston morning newspaper last week. I can't remember specifics, but does that count as mainstream?

(Now, guys, would that send you running to console the widow, or running away? I'm just curious...)

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

Even though i was thinking 'one thread,' to me, NAFDA makes the most sense, because what we're doing is widening the definition of promo, really.

There was an article in my paper with The Big Spoiler the morning "Chosen" aired. I figured that meant it was pretty widely known.

I'd take my chances ...

I'm not sure he will. I mean, the proposal was to amend the spoiler definition. Which means that the NAFDA threads would be fair game. I really, really dislike the idea of a thread-specific amendment, because again, what if something like this comes up again?

(In reference to my own last post:)

However, I don't know what I'm contributing to this discussion. It's been released in official WB and ME promotional material, and Joss talks about it all the time in interviews.

To me, that says it's fair game to talk about.

I know some people don't know, haven't seen promotional material, and avaoid interviews, but I very strongly feel that this meets the spirit of the spoiler policy, if not the letter.

We had to draw the line somewhere, and we decided that "an on-air promo" was common knowledge enough, even if you never see the promo

I guess my position then becomes that I feel WB/ME promotional material, Jossian interviews, and entertainment media magazines/programs should be exactly equivalent to on-air promos.

You may not have read/seen the posters/interviews, but you may miss/volutarily avoid the promo anyway.

We're getting all cross-posty. I agree with your line of thinking wrt to making this a NAFDA rule.

Not to me, I don't live in Boston. Is it a major market? Will the story get picked up and distributed widely? Did Joss talk about the casting?
