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.

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.

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.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
So, if we were going to make everyone happy (except the anti-proliferationistas), we'd have one spoiler thread just like it is, one without any white font, and one thread with casting, etc. that is or is not white-fonted?

You know I'm never bringing a proposal to B'cracy ever again, right? :-)
It's a common reaction.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Cindy,
Thread 1) No white font, hardcore spoilage. Open discussion, like we used to have in the Buffy & Angel Spoiler thread.
Thread 2) All white font, all white font labeled as to both show, and type of content.
Ran afoul of the duplicate entry problem. There would be depth spoiler in one thread that weren't the other, so I would end up imperfectly spoiled.

I think it's safe to say that the generalized 'you', as in, the very vocal and active members of the former spoiler community, are not especially comfortable with whitefont, as most of us have weighed in and said just that.
(I'm actually literally physically uncomfortable with whitefont, but that's a wrist-related thing, and very much me-specific.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay...here is how I think the ballot is coming together right now:
1) Do you want a Spoiler Lite thread (insert definition) and Hard-core spoiler thread (insert definition) each serving multiple shows?
2) Do you want the current Spoiler thread policy to be no white fonting for multiple shows?
3) Do you want the current Spoiler thread policy to be white fonting so individuals can pick and choose shows?
4) Do you want a Lost spoiler thread (no white font)?
