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.

And then there's me.

::leaves, sobbing::

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.

I'd be even leerier of discussing real spoilers in Natter than in a Spoiler Lite thread.

I want, for instance, so be an OC spoiler ho once the first ep has aired. I love being filthy spoiled for Charmed. I don't want to be spoiled for Lost. Wouldn't mind it for Desperate Housewives. Don't want it for Spooks or Jack & Bobby or 24. Haven't decided about Alias yet, but there's time.

ita is the Meg Ryan Orders a Salad of Spoilers.

My preference, whatever it's worth, would be:

Spoilers -- Open discussion, no whitefont (except possibly at the poster's discretion).

Spoilers Lite -- Episode titles, guest stars, writers not in whitefont; TV guide-esque tidbits in whitefont; anything harder linked to.

Why does one need to link to the writers, instead of including them in thread?

I thought I remembered the old lite including casting spoilers -- in fact, having been made for them.

And writers used to be whitefonted in the show threads, and openly discussed in all levels of spoils threads. I don't want to sound all "this is how we've always done it", but how lite is lite?
