I also thought that was a particularly cogent summary, Jen. I think your timing was fine.

After reading the discussion, I have concluded that I have no opinion on this matter, and will be voting my first full no-preference (but let's settle the issue) ballot ever. I feel that this is momentous, and that I should note the event, since it is unlikely that I will ever not have an opinion ever again.

Jon,

I need to edit some wording so I'll repost tomorrow.

It is a voting kinda day.

Okay, I think this is the final ballot incorporating as many suggestions as possible into this list.

=======================

Item 1: When Spoilers 3: First Mutant Enemy, Now the World was opened, it was done so, with the understanding that the white font rules for it, and its successors, would be decided later. Proposed--the rules should be as follows:

All hardcore spoilage, all the time. No white font.

(choose one)
____ Yes
____ No
____ No Preference

_________________________________________

Item 2: Proposed--We open a second spoiler thread, to accommodate those who EITHER want to discuss some spoilers, but not others, OR do not want to discuss hardcore spoilers. The focus and content of the second thread may or may not be decided with this vote, please indicate your support for a second spoiler thread:

(choose one)
____ Yes
____ No
____ No Preference

_________________________________________

Item 2: Proposed— We open a second spoiler thread, to accommodate those who want a Spoilers Lite Thread. The appropriate and approved content of this thread would be as follows: Guest stars, episode titles, writers, and preview speculation in black font. Exiting cast, TV Guide and other entertainment articles and their discussion white-fonted. Hard core spoilers are not allowed.

(choose one)
____ Yes
____ No
____ No, because I want an all-White font Spoiler Thread
____ No Preference

_________________________________________

Item 3: Proposed – We open a second spoiler thread to accommodate those who want an All White Font + Good Labels Spoiler Thread. The appropriate and approved content of this thread would be as follows: All actual content must be in white font. Each item in a post must be labeled (in black font) with show name, and spoiler type (e.g. “Lost – new guest star!”). Suggested spoiler types are: Plot Spoilers, Casting Spoilers, Ep Title, Writers, Preview Speculation, Articles. Hard core spoilers are allowed, but white fonted as with anything else.

(choose one)
____ Yes
____ No
____ No, because I want a Spoiler Lite Thread
____ No Preference

Le Nub, did you mean to take out the first "Item 2"?

le nubian, after item 1, I'm unsure of how this is counted/how to vote.

Cindy, okay...

I need to renumber, but the intent was to let people vote if they wanted a 2nd spoiler thread at all...

then get a vote on who wanted Spoiler Lite

then get a vote on who wanted White Font Spoilers

Is this not how it reads?

Changed

Doesn't it seem redundant when they can just vote No to Items 3 & 4?
