Okay. I think I was probably hoping that if enough people want the thread, enough will also want the same kind, which is probably completely silly of me, in the first place.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

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!

After the results are in, if it won't kill anyone, I wouldn't mind having day or two discussion of how to word the runoff ballot.

le nubian, I think we'll only have a run-off if one of your options on the first ballot does not win by a simple majority. Wouldn't it just be between the top two options from the first ballot?

Here is the ballot I'm thinking of putting up. Comments?
-----
le nubian has proposed a new TV Thread. Because there was disagreement about the spoiler rule in the thread, and several Buffistas opined that they would only want a thread if it adhered to a particular spoiler rule, we are structuring the vote as follows:
- Vote "Yes" for every option that would be acceptable to you. You may vote yes on as many options as you like.
- If you want the thread but don't care what the spoiler policy is, vote "Yes" in every option.
- If you do not want the thread at all, vote "No" in every option.
If more than one option receives a majority of yes votes, then there will be a runoff to decide which thread and spoiler policy is created.
1. We should have a new thread that covers Fall TV (covering new series that debut in September or October) and it should have the following spoiler policy:
a. No whitefont at all. ever.
(yes/no/no opinion)
b. Whitefont (with show title in black font) for 7 days. Then fade to black.
(yes/no/no opinion)
c. Whitefont (with show title in black font) current season discussion.
(yes/no/no opinion)
d. Whitefont (with show title in black font) all the time.
(yes/no/no opinion)
2. We should have a new Natter TV thread (covering all tv series - new and continuing that aren't covered in separate threads) and it should have the following spoiler policy:
a. No whitefont at all. ever.
(yes/no/no opinion)
b. Whitefont (with show title in black font) for 7 days. Then fade to black.
(yes/no/no opinion)
c. Whitefont (with show title in black font) current season discussion.
(yes/no/no opinion)
d. Whitefont (with show title in black font) all the time.
(yes/no/no opinion)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Given the fact that there's been only a handful of postings per month in the LoTR thread, and there's no prospect of a Hobbit movie in the near future, and no word on any additional DVD releases, there's no real need to keep the thread around. Discussion can easily take place in Movies or Natter.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
If there's no calendar for new activity, I vote close, but don't archive, so it can be reopened if there's anything that's going to provoke a flurry.
This is my take.

I agree with Brenda and Tom.
