Thanks, Elena.
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!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

This topic, due to the preference of 84% of the voters, is invalid for discussion until September 20th.
I disagree--as Plei and others have said, while the letter of the law has been the same for awhile, the INTERPRETATION of it has become much more strict and legalistic. I don't think it's invalid to discuss going back to the way we interpreted the rule for things like SMG returning after S5.

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
Here is the rule:
Q. What do you guys consider a spoiler?
A. Anything that hasn't been broadcast. So anything from the show and the preview trailers is okay, anything from TV Guide or anywhere else is a spoiler, including casting news, episode titles and plot twists. No white fonting. Spoilers should only be posted in the spoiler thread.
Let's follow it to the letter. No drifting to one side, no casting spoilers to the other.
If someone would like to work to change it after September 20th they can.

But we never followed it to the letter BEFORE with summer main-cast changes!

Hey, that's the rule.
Nobody is getting exactly what they want here. If we follow the rule as written we strike a middle ground AND obey the will of the voters.

Thanks for all the fish.
Susan, I think those were fairly major exceptions to the rule, and covered under the increasingly cryptic 'common knowledge' rule.

If we wait till September 20th there won't be any POINT to the change anymore. I bloody well wish I'd voted against the Sept. 20th thing now, because I never meant for it to be applied like this! I feel like a change was railroaded through that I never discussed and never approved of, and now I can't do anything about it.

But to me this is the exact same thing! I really don't see the difference.

Thanks for all the fish.
I've been trying to come to a compromise on this. I really have been. I welcome any and all attempts to have the BCS declared common knowledge...
I just don't want things that aren't as well disseminated to get lumped in, because then I can't play in NAFDA.

You only wanted it applied to rules you do like?
Seriously. What do you mean by this?
