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.

This is not at all clear. In fact, based on today's discussion I would NOT mention it at all in the Angel thread for fear of setting off someone's spoiler sense.

And you would be right not to. But at some point the information reaches a zeitgeist (huh, am I spelling that at all right?) and it's so widely diseminated that it really is almost impossible to avoid. For me, with SMG leaving after season 7, it was when CNN reported it. I mean, CNN, how much more mainstream can you get? Has the BCS reached that point? Will it? I don't know. But it is a possibility that should be considered. And, in fact, might warrant investigation.

USA Today and NY Times, both of which have mentioned it.

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

Meanwhile, the phobes have determined board policy as to what can be discussed where.

No, no, no. Some version of "not unless aired" has existed for a very long time. Hence, the creation of the spoiler threads.

I hate this us vs. them shit, but I also hate screaming "fuck you" at my computer and it keeps happening.

This may be the sort of animosity Elena was referring to...

We have? Because I always thought that it was our policy to be considerate of people who don't want to know spoilers (under our current definition). It may be a more sensitive barometer than some people need, but spoiling people is what we have always tried to avoid.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Do you mean now or after the proposed change?

I mean now. I can only go by now. For all I know, by morning a much more satisfactory compromise will have been worked out, but right now, I am not seeing any possible compromise being granted.

Seriously, unless someone disproves the validity of the FAQ this should be tabled until September 20th.

Except that precendent says otherwise about THIS SPECIFIC sort of situation.

I have asked, repeatedly, if the BCS has been widely disseminated and this is the first answer I've gotten that seems like it has been.

Perhaps this discussion should be - has the BCS been mainstreamed to the point where it is no longer reasonable to call it a spoiler?

Well, yes, but that's not the seconded proposal.

ALL the casting spoilers for the season regulars went out to major media as a press release, and most of them published it. I know my local paper did.

Well, let's set about proving it so.

The fact that it's been reported in the NY Times and USA Today seem like a reasonable jumping off point for the discussion.
