I think in the past, spoiler policies have sometimes been hashed out at the start of a thread, no?
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.
'Out Of Gas'
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!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

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!"

And seriously, if the policy is "white font them," I support heading off potential discussion!

Our wings are not tired.
I can't subscribe to everything I might want to, and the narrow-topic low-volume threads are the easiest to let go of first.
Time constraints cause me to fall hopelessly behind in Bitches & Natter while I have some hope of keeping up in the low volume threads.
I skipped all but the first and last page here.
But this is a case where we do have a group of people who are already part of the community who want to have the discussion.
This means a lot to me. There are a significant number of my fellow Buffistas that would enjoy the thread very much. That gets my vote. I will pop in on occasion as I do in other narrow threads just to see what is happening. Not a gamer so it won't be my home thread.

Games have spoilers? Who knew? (so without knowledge of this world)
