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)?

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?

1) All hardcore, all the time

2) All white font, with labels as to content, all the time.

Deena, if you are a person who wants lite, but not what I'm saying in number 2, could you please explain it to me, because with all white font and labels, I don't understand how your experience would differ from what would happen in a traditionally defined "lite" thread. (cc: Wolfram, Jon B, and any other people who really loved/miss/want back a lite thread)

I think it's safe to say that the generalized 'you', as in, the very vocal and active members of the former spoiler community,

Well, yeah. But I figured "you" to be a little less "we" than your usage.

woops, too slow. Cindy, I made an answer to you a few posts back.

Only the brave dare twice.

Hey -- does anyone know, easily, what the proposal leaderboard looks like? Anyone made more than one? Two?

I know I learned my lesson after one.

Thank you, Gus. I caught that, after. I'm sorry. So in your case, is it that you want hardcore for "Lost" but nothing else?

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.

I apologize. You said you weren't going to venture into a spoilage lite thread, and I took that to mean you hadn't been in the previous ones. So your 'description of the thread was inaccurate', in my opinion, and I 'disagreed with your opinion.' But I certainly didn't mean that you or your opinions are inaccurate.

I still don't understand who would be unhappy with this, and why

Cindy, under that reasoning, you could whitefont hardcore spoilers in Natter. Speaking for myself, I don't want even whitefonted hard core spoilers in a spoilage lite thread.

Wolfram, if I may ask, why, if they are labeled and white fonted, would it matter? You'd highlight items in which you're interested (titles, writers, casting changes) and not the ones that were for plot. I am just not understanding, and I'm sure that's my limitation, because I really do belong in the hardcore thread.

Yes, LeN's latest hits my issues. Hardcore for Lost, another for whitefont any depth, with lables, for everything else. But frankly, I think I could live without any change, or all no whitefont, anywhere.

Wolfram, if I may ask, why, if they are labeled and white fonted, would it matter? You'd highlight items in which you're interested (titles, writers, casting changes) and not the ones that were for plot.

For the same reason we didn't allow spoiler whitefonting in show threads. One accidental uncovering of a whitefont and you've just spoiled an essential plot point for half a season. I don't want to traverse a minefield of hard core spoilers in spoilage lite.
