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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

And several people who think that there just may be a valid reason, and think that needs to be hammered out.

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

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

I think that's the proposal on the table, Susan. I know one addition and one deletion.

Um, do you mean that you ALREADY KNOW of two BCSs on the show? In other words, your knowledge and mine is the same? But that I can't discuss it openly for fear of spoiling you?

I'm going to go bang my head against the wall now.

To reiterate:

1) We want to discuss Spike's Back !!!!!

2) We want the website and offical press releases considered not spoilers

3) We want to not change the stated policy

4) (which has no representatives in this discussion) We want you to whitefont every damn casting thing that could possibly affect the show.

Unless, of course, there are three (or more) BCSs, and you don't know the same ones ...
