No, Elena, you're right it's very confusing, and like I said, my memory could be faulty as far as the specifics go. But I still stand by my assertion that without discussion, the definition (unspoken) of what is a spoiler has gotten larger, and the scope of discussion smaller.

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!
It doesn't come as a surprise to me, Burrell.
You want to be spoiled on a few things and I want to be spoiled on none. Some want a few more than you. Some want even more. If you make the no-spoiler place a teeny bit spoiled you ruin it for us.

Yes. This. I'm willing to compromise on the BCS, because I've been assured that it is common knowledge, but I hate the thought of spoiling people.
Okay, whitefont ahoy. I'm not going to use circumlocution, and I'm going to discuss the three specific spoilers that I'm personally aware of for next season.
If this proposal goes through, that means we'll be able to talk about a) the fact that James Marsters is joining the Angel cast as a regular; b) the fact that Charisma Carpenter is no longer going to be a regular on Angel; and c) the fact that Vincent Kartheiser is no longer going to be a regular on Angel. Is there anything else that'll be added? For instance, will it be allowable to say that JM is joining as Spike? Will it be okay to say that there was a possibility floated that Connor would return for an episode? I'm assuming yes, but I wanted to know what other people thought. (Or was the thing about VK officially released?)
Whereas rather than compromise on one particular issue, I want to find the general principle that's liveable for the largest number of posters so that we don't have to have this same shouting match every year, assuming the universe is a just place and we have Jossverse shows on into the future.
I would say yes Katie. To all.

Damn, three?
THREE!?!?!?
I would say yes to everything Katie except:
Will it be okay to say that there was a possibility floated that Connor would return for an episode?
For this, I would say no. People could certainly speculate on if he might return and how that would happen but it wasn't ever in an official press release and it might never happen at all.
Does anyone remember what we did about Dawn? Did the WB show that in promos? Did we discuss the casting news?
