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!
Proposal: To create a new permanent television bucket thread like the Experimental Non-fiction Thread, name to be determined. This thread will be a NAFDA thread.
Just a minor point. I don't think it would really be NAFDA since we in Canada either don't get many of these shows until much later or not at all (e.g., Veronica Mars). I think you should call it "AFDA".
Or maybe USFDA.
Megan, maybe that's an issue for Bureaucracy, not this thread? SA used NAFDA in keeping with its explanation in the FAQ:
Q. NAFDA? Is that an international Buffista treaty?
A. Ummm..... No. It's the North American Free Discussion Area. We have many posters who aren't from North America and are therefore half a season or more behind. In order to keep them unspoiled, we limit discussion of current episodes to specific threads. These are the NAFDA threads. If it's not labeled as a NAFDA thread, don't talk about current episodes in it. We also ask that you don't discuss one show's current season in another show's topic without whitefont, because some people are on tape delay. This means that events from the current season of Buffy should be whitefonted in the Angel topic and vice versa.
What Cindy said. NAFDA is less about a geographical area and more about a specific spoiler/whitefont policy.
Okay, I'm lost. The discussions in this thread dated June seem to be about white fonting and non-fict/reality TV, but there were 4 experimental threads. What about the other 3 threads? Are we voting on white font now? aaand, there goes my time; back tomorrow.
Java, the proposal right now is just about a non-fiction thread.
Only a non-fiction thread has been formally proposed so far.
The proposal is here: Jesse "Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!" Jun 3, 2007 2:19:44 pm PDT though I think there have been modifications proposed wrt the whitefont options on the ballot.
Voting will start tomorrow (Thursday) evening. We're going to need a vote counter and final wording for the ballot before then.
I can count votes. I should make my profile address the the one I want to use, correct?
