MM, does your proposal want to address a spoiler policy? I seem to recall that being a concern?
Hrm. Yeah, I guess...
...what was the concern again? Spoilers for VGs?
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

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!

No idea. I remember being surprised that there were spoiler issues, that's why I remember it, I think. As a spoiler nazi, I must speak up for the spoiler averse, wherever they are.

Final Final Wording:
I propose the creation of a Gaming Thread (clever title to come later), in which people could discuss games: board, LARP, MMORPG, video, tabletop RPG, game theory etc. etc. and all attendant news, developments and ancillary subjects thereof. All would be welcome to chime in, talk about their favorite games or learn about gaming of any sort. This thread could also be used for coordinating/scheduling games either online or IRL and could serve as a cooperative resource for people playing games.
PLEASE TO WHITEFONT SPOILERS for video games, RPG modules or anything for which foreknowledge of events might lessen one's enjoyment of whatever gaming experience.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think in the past, spoiler policies have sometimes been hashed out at the start of a thread, no?

Ann, that's a ferret.
It happened with Firefly, and again (to a lesser extent) with Wonderfalls/Minearverse.
My impression is that a fair number of people popped up in the general conversation threads. But I didn't/don't participate in either thread, so I don't know how many new posters expanded their horizons and how many stuck to their original thread.

That's what I thought, too, but what the hell you know?

Oh, for sure -- especially if it doesn't need to be super-intricate like the Movies thread one.

I suppose it doesn't hurt to have it out there right from go, though.

DAMN YOU, VORTEX!
Nah, no harm, no foul. I don't think anyone who is waiting to vote just went "Wait, no spoilers? Well FUCK THAT!"
