What is the big disagreement here?
You left out Katie's interpretation.

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
1) So, our policy would be that some website information is discussable and some isn't?
THAT will cause confusion as well.
2) I'd really like the wording to include: if this motion passes thread for those who wish to be unspoiled will be created.
Generally out of respect and particularly since it will be tricky to propose and pass a motion when there will hardly any threads on the board safe to us.

The disagreement is that one of you includes the website and one of you does not.

I think you have to include the website. Because once a major casting change is confirmed on the official website, it will be everywhere.

I am not trying to be a pill either, but I am wondering, Trudy if you were upset when we discussed Buffy coming back after Season 5 or ASH's recurring status in the main threads? I went back and read those threads and I didn't see much objection to the discussion.
I also vaguely remember discussing the fact that Amber Benson would still be recurring in Season 6 on the board over the summer with no problem. There was no spoilers lite and I was a spoiler virgin. I don't remember people being upset then either.
Perhaps it would be best if we stopped whitefonting in Spoilers Lite, which makes it a logistical nightmare?

The discussion of Buffy coming back was due to the change of networks and concern that the show was being cancelled (if you recall, the WB acted like it was).
The difference between that and "we want to talk about it NOW" is tremendous.

Trudy, not to be confrontational, but I think you're overstating a lot of things, and I don't think that's helping the discussion.
Quite frankly, no matter what our spoiler policy, there's nothing to prevent someone coming into even the Ultra Pure Spoiler Virgin thread and posting all over that place about how Orlando Bloom will be leaving the cast of AtS next season, and spoiling the crap out of you.
It seems like you're insisting that we find a way to create an absolutely pure and sanctified place for you to never be spoiled, or you're going to take your bat and ball and go home.
Again, I appreciate your view on this matter, but I don't think that's either realistic or constructive.

We couldn't have discussed Riley's departure until after Into the Woods aired, because that wasn't officially announced over the summer.
Question - if they had announced it during the summer, that MB would be leaving partway through the season, would that count as a spoiler under the new proposal?
I have some issues with summer casting spoilers that affect who will or will not be on the show at the beginning of the season anyway, but casting information that tells you someone will be leaving mid-season would bother me much, much more.

Knowing that Amber Benson was still recurring didn't matter at all. She could have been in every episode or two-- it told us nothing.
Telling people they can discuss X from the website and not Y will prove tricky.
I think "official copy" would cover it. That's very specifically not boards and chat rooms.
I wasn't clear here. A policy that says you can discuss major casting changes from the website but not minor casting announcements from the website would be confusing.
As it stands now, a medium is either kosher or not.

Nope. I just want a thread that continues the "show or promo" policy we've had all along.
