It's not that I wouldn't go to another thread to discuss it, it's just that Lite really is not a discussion thread. It's more a casting spoiler confirmation thread, from what I can tell.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

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!

I think the suggestion is to change the spoile lite thread to facilitate discussion. If, however, there isn't a buy-in, it won't work anyway.

I wouldn't post in Spoilers Lite. I find the rules too slippery and are even more inhibiting than in the main thread.
I don't really want a compromise that's about repurposing threads or adding new ones. I want to take the pulse of the community, finding out where the center is, and then consolidating the discussion there. I think that's the healthiest thing for the board and leads to the best and most interesting conversations.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Yes.
The most frustrating aspect of this discussion, which I've been lurking in--sorry, I should have weighed in, but I suck at fast-paced discussion--is that Spoilers is already a sub-section of Buffistas. It's been that way for a long time. But many of the people who are in there now are new, and the concepts of what should be publicly acceptable re: spoilers is shifting. I didn't particularly like nor see the need for Lite, but I respected it--and I think having to care for three different needs, the unSpoiled, the slightly Spoiled, and the full-on Spoiled is simply ridiculous for a community that prides itself on discussion between a diverse and interesting group of people who are consistently interested in having good *discussion,* not breaking its back trying to meet the needs of every single member. To that end, when Buffy was aired, those in Spoilers did their best to be cautious and courteous when it came to spoilers. Such efforts, I believe, are not considered as necessary for Angel--especially if you look at the way the Spoiler community has grown (granted, not exponentially,but seriously more than usual) over the summer as Angel spoilers are beginning to roll in.
So that's my .02.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Huh. I never thought of this as having anything to do with Buffy being over.
I don't see one show's spoilers as less spoilery than the other.

you know, since many of the spoiler pure won't be participating in such a thread you won't have our voices anyway
you might as well give us a place where we can converse

Well, once the UnAmericans are done with Angel this year (3 days, apparently), doesn't Previously become a possiblity for a defacto summer virgin thread? Since we are only talking about SUMMER regular cast spoilers?

::shrug:: Probably just my perspective then--a lot of people who dallyed over the summer wanted to stay pure during the season for Buffy, but were less interested in doing so for Angel.

Except the people who post in UnAmerican aren't the same people who post in spoilers or the main show threads so they may not appreciate the hijack of their thread.

And besides that, Previously is both Buffy and Angel discussion about previous seasons, not spoilers.
