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.

And for all-spoils-all-the-time-no-whitefont lovers, it's Lost or nothing? Not my cup of tea, thanks.

Hardcore for Lost, another for whitefont any depth,

But some of the regular spoiler citizens, the hardcore people, would be very unhappy. They want to be free. All spoils, all the time. That's what amych, Jess, and Plei are saying. I'm pretty sure that's what Hec said he wanted, too (Hec, correct me if I'm wrong), and honestly, I prefer the hardcore, too.

I couldn't vote against my fellow Buffy and Angel spoiler thread alums on a spoiler proposal.

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.

Ditto.

One day I'll make a proposal. That should be fun.

eta:

This is what I meant about recreating the past, BTW. Just elucidating, not bitching.

t considers pointing out that ita has strange notion of fun

t considers ita's hobbies

t realizes that ita probably already knows this.

Not mine either. This would be worse than having a whitefont only hardcore thread.

(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).

Frankly, if I'd known it was the way it apparently currently is, I might've been in there. I assumed it was the old hard core style.

To slightly amend Cindy's suggestion, would this be workable?

Thread 1) No white font, hardcore spoilage. Open discussion, like we used to have in the Buffy & Angel Spoiler thread.

Thread 2) Traditional (as I currently seem to understand it) Lite content is fair game. This means: Ep titles, writers, casting changes, possibly TV-guide type ep summaries. All else is white font, all white font labeled as to both show, and type of content.

I think Cindy's suggestion has the greatest utility with the greatest ease of use. There is no solution which satisfies all the preferences on the table until we get unlimited threads and have spoiler and spoiler lite for every show we watch.

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

1) All hardcore, all the time

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

Le Nubian, I think you should just phrase it like this with two votes. The first one merely defines the current spoiler thread as hardcore spoilers, no white font, viewer beware on entry. Then a second vote suggesting a new thread which would be white fonted with labels. This would actually be different than Spoilers Lite as we knew it, but would serve the most people (I think). I don't think we can satisfy Gus or ita's needs without more individual threads.

I'm pretty sure that's what Hec said he wanted, too (Hec, correct me if I'm wrong), and honestly, I prefer the hardcore, too.

That's right. Can I correct you on other things too? Your hair needs a trim.
