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 suggest two items on the ballot:
Adding a brand-new Lost specific full-spoiler thread, since Lost has a general thread, and
Defining the light spoiler thread to be added, if it passes, as guest stars, episode titles, authors, and preview speculation in regular font, with exiting cast, tv guide and other entertainment articles and their discussion white-fonted. This would be a general thread, like the general spoilers thread.
preview speculation
??? Isn't that already defined as unspoilery?
Yes, ita, it is. I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to open another can of worms, just as it applied to discussion of articles and stuff that is spoilery. I was trying to cover all bases and just got sloppy.
LeN wants to put converting it to no-whitefont-required to a vote. She's suggesting some sort of alternative for the less wholehearted.
Okay. I keep getting confused between LeN's proposal for a spoiler lite thread, and her proposal to convert the general spoiler thread. It's really two separate proposals.
I mean, if she proposes a ROT-13 spoiler thread and it passes, then, well, that's how it goes.
What's ROT-13?

That sums it up pretty well. And I think Deena means preview speculation which takes into account other spoiler lite non-whitefonted info.

Dude, the new post-munging stuff blew away my translation. whatthe?!

Yes. Thank you.
It's really two separate proposals.
It's two separate votes, but I don't know if it has to be on separate proposals? LJ proposed opening various threads, and closing others on her ballot, and there were no objections.
That sums it up pretty well.
How does that account for the Lilah/Lindsey return discrepancy? How sensitive are the usual suspects?
Basically we're here to recreate the past, aren't we? It doesn't seem like anything new is getting any support. This makes me sad. I wasn't part of either community, and maybe if I were I'd be attached to the way they worked and the benefits they provided.
I'm not understanding what would make you happy, ita. Could you rephrase it for me?
I know you've explained it, but it's been a rough day.

Two separate proposals, not two separate Proposals. Meaning, two paragraphs on the same ballot. I'm sorry if I confused you.

Some guest stars are going to have significantly more spoiler potential than others. Deena's definition is a guide. The community is quick to jump in and say, hey, that casting spoiler is disproportionately spoilery and I think it should be whitefonted.
