Amych, I'd prefer that, too. Maybe we can mutilate tweak the Lost thread to fit our vision.
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.
'Objects In Space'
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!

And Deena's vision, to me, sounds like the dream show thread.
I had the same thought!
I've never seen cast changes or writers or episode titles -- basically anythng on the regular TV Guide level -- as a spoiler, and I would love to have a community where I could talk about those things without whitefont.
And DX, I hope I didn't sound like I was blaming you, because I don't. Minor annoyance, is all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I do think that erring on the side of whitefont was the way to go, DX. Some things can't be stuffed back into the box.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

If we were going to change the definition of "spoiler" for a thread--which is something that we've worked out painfully and at great length--I'd really appreciate us doing it via vote. Because as y'all may remember, I do see some of those things as spoilers.

I did not mean to suggest we do anything else, Katie. I'm sorry if it wasn't clear that I was just stating an opinion.

Okay, thanks. I just wanted to, you know, get my foot in the door before it closed.

Punishingly Intricate
Cast changes are definitely spoilers to me (not that I mind knowing them sometimes). For a show like Lost they surely are.

Art Crawl!!!
Yes -- because it would be mostly character deaths.

I definitely wouldn't want to know who's going, but if someone's coming, that could be interesting speculation.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ultimately I don't care what policy is adopted for Spoilers Lite because I doubt I'll participate, but I will add that the previous spoiler lite policy was, imho, bad for discussion. In essence, Lite turned out to be a thread where you could go check up on a possible spoil, and then there was really nothing left to say. Bo. Ring.
To have any discussion there at all, I think you'd want to allow plot spoilers to be discussed, but to agree to put all plot points (and speculations based on said plot spoilers) in white font.
