Would allowing plot discussion like ita is looking for, in white font, be unworkable in a lite thread. Couldn't it be labeled?

So then what's the difference between Spoilers and SpoilersLite? The latter is white-fonted and the former isn't? That seems wasteful to me.

I need some help here with other alternatives...

1) so there would be the one above that I just posed;

2) a spoiler lite thread where episode titles and writers of eps were not white-fonted and everything else (including discussion) was white fonted.

Couldn't it be labeled?

I think the main question is would it get in there at all. Personally, I know I'm way too lazy to be posting spoilers once in the main thread and then again in Lite, whitefonted.

That seems wasteful to me.

Yeah, me too. Which is why I'm pessimistic. I guess I can just vote against discontinuing whitefonting in the existing thread and be quiet.

I don't think the term Spoilers Lite is doing the main concept here any favours. What there will be is a no holds barred spoiler discussion thread, and a spoiler announcement thread.

Well if the spoiler announcement site lists episode titles and writers-directors and then links to off-site casting/plot spoilers. And the other site just discusses w/no white font at all.

That would be fine with me.

I'm more concerned about the definitions, since I see what I want rushing towards the horizon.

But is that how Spoiler Lite has been discussed here? Discussion-lite, announcement heavy, but no meaty announcements right there -- basically a no-natter zone.

I still don't get the linking rationale. If a friend tells me he's been cast as Jack's father in whatever show, I really have to go make a post in LJ and link back to it?

Is there much objection out there to simply having the Lite stuff whitefonted in the regular threads (Lost or Natter or wherever)? As a non-spoiler person, I'd be perfectly happy with that.

ita if you know somebody has been cast as the hot new electrician on Desperate Housewives (for example), I can't see why you couldn't post that in white font (if that is what we decide) or directly.

I think sometimes the lightness or not of the spoiler may be up to personal judgement.

Also, I said link because most times it seems like casting spoilers or whatever come from other sites.

Also, many of the shows we're talking about are new -- so it is less easy to decide what is going to be catastrophic and ruin hsq and what will not.

I can't see why you couldn't post that in white font (if that is what we decide) or directly.

If I know that he sleeps with Susan, then do I need to externally host it?

Basically (and here is where the ex-Liters may get pissed) I don't see the point of a thread with no discussion and only half the spoilers. It seems...coy.
