Only the brave dare twice.
Hey -- does anyone know, easily, what the proposal leaderboard looks like? Anyone made more than one? Two?
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
What if we had a Lost spoiler thread that was hard-core and left the current one with white font for other shows?
Would enough people find this acceptable to make this a valid option on the ballot?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Hits all my issues.

What is even happening?
Well, for the record, I want deep spoilers about O.C., and don't about Lost. Lite, as defined, does nothing for meGus, what do you think of this: Topic!Cindy "Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!" Oct 27, 2004 4:07:10 pm PDT
Cindy, that suggestion could work, but would anyone bother to post twice?
Most probably wouldn't, Lyra. Some people like full on spoilers, and will post in the no white-font thread. Some people will rather pick and choose by show and by spoiler type, and will stick to the [for now unclassified] thread. Wasteful? Maybe, but no more wasteful than what's on the table. We're still talking about the underepurposing of Spoilers 3, back to an unfettered zone, and adding (back) another thread for "lite"(or otherwise more restrained), even if we don't do that.
Our traditionally defined Lite doesn't allow for a lot of spoiler discussion people (other than Gus and ita, I swear they weren't the only ones who liked the Spoilers 3 thread the way it currently is, but I can't remember whom).
Half the time, the old Buffy/Angel spoiler thread, was filled with show discussion, so that we didn't have to worry about accidentally spoiling the unspoiled.

I'd still be irked. I'm pretty much a no-fucking-whitefont hardliner. Also, I don't WATCH Lost.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
but I will add that the previous spoiler lite policy was, imho, bad for discussion.
This is very inaccurate.
I'm sorry Wolfram. You must have meant to say "I disagree," not "This is very inaccurate." I simply expressed my own opinion, and I think I have a clearer sense of what that is than you do.

Selfishly I'd vote for that, but just because there'd be a hardcore whitefont spoiler thread left over, and not because I thought it would serve the community better.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm in the Plei/Amych/Blob corner of Please If We're Going To Have A Spoiler Thread Make It A Spoiler Thread And That Means No Whitefont.

Whitefont and hardcore spoiling are not mix-y things.
You can't relax with whitefont.
