1. Should we have a new thread that covers Fall TV (covering new series that debut in September or October)?
a. No
b. Yes, with no whitefont at all. ever.
c. Whitefont (with show title in black font) for 7 days. Then fade to black.
d. Whitefont (with show title in black font) current season discussion.
e. Whitefont (with show title in black font) all the time.
f. No Opinion.
How do you total these up, though? Say No gets 20% of the vote, and b, c, and d each get 15%. Is that a yes or a no to a thread?
I'm wondering if the only way to work this will be to decide an option for each thread before we go to a vote - Fall TV with no white font, say, v. TV Natter with white font for current ep, v. No New Thread.
That's my issue with the wording of all the options in one post. Does the thread lose if no one option gets enough votes, even if there is a majority of votes that want the thread?
My thinking would be a yes/no vote on the thread, and then a followup item along the lines of "If yes, then..." and do an option for each spoilerfont possibility.

The difficulty with that, as I understand it, is that for some people the whitefont status is a key part of whether they want the thread in the first place.
Cindy,
if we do what you proposed, I think the ballot should be only #1 and #2. I think a runoff is needed to determine which thread and which whitefont option.

ND, brenda summarized my understanding. I think people don't want to vote for a thread that may have undefined whitefont rules.
Jon, I'm not sure that'd even help at this point. Not without getting very complicated.
I know, I know.
I'm going out for a few hours. If there's a ballot to be put up, I'll get to it later this evening (8 pm PDT, give or take).
I think Cindy's #1 and #2 need to be put on a ballot.
I think the ballot needs to state that people are voting on the possibility of one thread. If most want a new thread at all, a runoff of the top 4 options across both questions will start after the first vote is counted.
Cindy's ballot makes sense, except for the need for a runoff. Do we have anything about runoffs?
