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!
Freaky: If you google "Minearverse," we're not the first site that comes up. But they are talking about us.
I just did the same thing. But if you google "Getting his words out" we don't come up at all and I went four pages in. And "YExpirationDateMV" gets no hits at all. Point being: it's the TM that is googleable - if we come up with something non-M it should be OK, I would think.
I am pro Wonderfalls spoiler thread.
Frank, I think Googlability is the issue.
Not sure I follow. The Googlability is a bad thing, right? So wouldn't we want a more obscure name for the thread? on edit - OK, I get it now. smacks forhead
It also occurred to me that a spoiler thread is going to draw those seeking copies of the unaired episodes like a swarm of locusts. That's something to consider.
I am also pro-WF thread.
I think the idea is that we want the thread, but we really really don't want to come up when someone googles "wonderfalls spoilers."
It also occurred to me that a spoiler thread is going to draw those seeking copies of the unaired episodes like a swarm of locusts.
But that is already happening. I was about to say it can't get much worse and then ... well, that will mean it will, so. I'll just stick with the first sentence.

That is why people want an obscure name, I think.
Could we have something about that in the thread header? E.g., Please do not post here looking for copies. Posts requesting copies will be edited or deleted.
(Or whatever --I'm not sure about the edit/deletia need.)
As I understand it, Google works by counting words used in links. In sense-making terms: if enough people have linked to that thread as Minearverse, then "Minearverse," as a Google search term will point to that thread. (Which is how Googlehackers got "miserable failure" pointed to whitehouse.gov for however long that lasted.)
I'm guessing that we're the only people linking to that thread with the terms "Getting His Words Out"
So whatever we call the WF Spoilers thread, the title will be a Googleable set of search terms for getting there. The slug, nsm.
I would like to call the thread Janet. Or possibly Snowy Owl Love Killer. But the Janet makes me laugh. Every. Time.
Bootleg Barrels: Pushed right over the edge

I think it might concentrate that though, since the assumption will be that people in the thread have access. Which will make conversation just as difficult as it is in Minearverse. Although Lyra's suggestion (restricting the content to no requesting) has merit.
