That's perceived climate.
I know it is the perception, but it is NOWHERE represented in this conversation.
Anybody can be a prop class clown.

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!

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

Thanks for all the fish.
I'm not saying that to be a bitch; I think that's our policy. So I actually don't know how one would get Lightbulbs closed, unless there was something definitely definite, and I think there are too many people who think there is NOT definite reason to close the thread right now.
And several people who think that there just may be a valid reason, and think that needs to be hammered out.

Nobody
I see three basic positions represented:
You miss the main position, which is that when the network promotes its cast line-up for the new season, we agree it's not spoilery in TV promos, and so fail to see the logic behind calling it spoilery in their press releases and official cast list on their website.
ita - I don't get why you need search terms for this stuff. If they make an official release, you will hear they make an official release. I feel like idiot Jed here, I'm not trying to be obtuse, what's the problem with the official releases and why would anyone need to search it. "The WB announces it's new fall line up today blah blah Angel returning blah blah blah cast."
If your problem is how do we word that in the FAQ, can we wait and see if the proposal passes. We have a gazillion wordsmiths here. Someone will come up with an idea on how to word the faq entry.

Thanks for all the fish.
Say, there seem to be a lot of people around. Does anyone feel like burning off some agression by killing quotes? I can authorise an emergency deathmatch...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
you will hear they make an official release
Where will I hear that? If my best friend says "oh, did you hear that Michelle Trachtenberg's on Angel next fall?" how do I know if it's a leak, or a promoted addition to the regular cast? My best friend, I guarantee, will have no idea.
Or am I being obtuse too?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Until now unspoiled has been the default and spoilers had to go elsewhere (since people can't be UNspoiled once sullied).
I think though, that until recently, it wasn't a big deal because we allowed discussion of things that we don't now.

That's position two, cindy. It is the people who want to include the website and official press releases. They want to discuss more than Spike's Back from now on.

Thanks for all the fish.

Actually, Cindy, where would this information go? To the WB site? To TV guide? Where would I be able to find it?
Sincere question.

This is where I am.
Elena, sounds like fun! I'm in!

It *does* need to be hammered out. But until it is, I don't think this thread can be closed.
