One basic issue: can the spoiler lite thread employ white font while the hard core thread does not?

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 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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
hmm. maybe another proposal needs to be made because this may not solve the problems we were originally discussing.

Well, any multiple show spoiler thread is going to have to have complicated rules to work, right?

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)?
Didn't Spoilers Lite allow links to hardcore (plot point) spoilers? If not, I think that could be allowed in this new edition if folks wanted the option to go elsewhere to find dirty details. Still wouldn't accomodate ita's wish to discuss particular shows in detail while avoiding other spoilers.
As for the thread itself, I think there's a strong desire for Spoilers Lite, and I think it's clear there is a big distinction between people who want to discuss spoilers openly without worrying about whitefont, and those people who just want a leetle tiny bit of spoiling to whet their appetite.

OMG, we made ita cry!
I think that links to hardcore spoilers were allowed.

ita,
which show do you want to discuss spoilers for? can you go to Natter and whitefont the particulars and discuss it with others?

And then there's me.
Me too! Me too! I would want to see spoilers for, say, Gilmore Girls or Joan of Arcadia but want to remain pure for Lost and The Amazing Race.
