Woo hoo! Spoilers lite - YES!
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd like to see what spoilers lite is. As someone who wants hard core spoilers about some shows and not others -- how lite is lite? Will it be lighter than the way the current spoiler thread is being run (whitefont)?

Episode titles, writers, directors -- spec based on that information.
Casting was usually not okay, tvguide descriptions not okay -- if there then white fonted.

I think we can discuss a new definition of lite spoilers, though. Since this is for supposedly all shows.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
sumi brought this definition from WX:
For those of us who don't want to be too spoiled, but are fine with being a little ripe. Remember to behave in NAFDA (North American Free Discussion Area), and when in doubt, white it out.
I should note that I like spoilers - I used to read wild feeds of Buffy before eps. So I'm not sure what kinds of content spoiler lites might want. I'd like to hear from people how best to make the two threads distinct.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
One basic issue: can the spoiler lite thread employ white font while the hard core thread does not?

I thought that in hardcore spoilers you didn't whitefont and it could be casting and plot information.
If we want to do a combined spoiler/spoilers lite thread where everything is whitefonted then I would want posts to say whether the white font was casting or plot related.

Whether it be lite or not, I'm looking for a place to discuss spoilers for a given show without being spoiled for others.
This could be satisfied by separate spoiler threads for shows (not recommended) or the way the current spoiler thread is working.
However, nobody's going to duplicate the spoiler content from that thread into another, just with added WhiteOut. So I'm not hopeful of having a spoiler place at all.

hmm. maybe another proposal needs to be made because this may not solve the problems we were originally discussing.
