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 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.
That's a plot thingy -- wouldn't that go in real spoilers? Or would a real spoiler be that the hot new electrician kills Mike's dog and then sleeps with Susan in Mike's kitchen?
wouldn't that go in real spoilers?
But I'm not going into real spoilers. What's the point? I can't participate in discussion there, since I'll get spoiled for Lost.
Is the Alias spoiler that Gina Torres will be back, at this early juncture -- heavy or light?
Lots of these things seem to be subjective.

Exactly why I don't get the thread.
If she's been on the show before, then i'd call it heavy; that's a character coming back as well as an actress. If Alan Tudyk were joining the cast, OTOH, that would be light. I have no idea whether details of his role would be at this point.
What is the policy regarding discussing spoilers in threads?
Should another option on the ballot be:
Hard-core spoilers only in the Spoiler thread (white font according to poster's discretion); and light spoiler discussion goes in main threads with spoilers and discussion in white font as per policy.
sumi, that ain't a lite spoiler as far as I'm concerned.
Well, all I can say that knowing that Riley was leaving meant that I spent most of the first half of season 5 WAITING for him to leave, that I LOOOVED not knowing the Dru was coming back in The Trial and I base my "no casting spoilers" feelings based on that.
On the other hand knowing that Gina Torres will be in Alias just makes me very happy and excited.
LeN, but won't the whitefont in the Spoiler thread piss people there off? Isn't that what you're trying to get away from?
As for "main threads" -- there are only a handful (and a small hand of that) of main threads. I don't think there should be spoilers posted in Natter. So, for that reason, I support a spoiler announcement thread. One where you can actually say, IN THERE, what the spoiler is, whitefonted, behind a succinct description [cast change] or [new character] or [recurring character reappears] or [synopsis of finale].
