t fact
We have made changes to the FAQ since the grandfathering rule was voted in.

On the basis of that precendent, I reject the charges that refining the definition of official news disregards the grandfather policy.
Laugh with me now, it'll help...
By saying a voted-in grandfather clause invalidates the time-honored ability to adapt the FAQ to board culture as need arises, you are flying in the face of the voted-in grandfather clause you are citing. The grandfather clause was developed and voted in, in order to protect time-honored traditions adopted prior to the time voting was instituted. The grandfather proposal was put in to ensure that non-voted in items weren't considered invalid, just because they weren't voted in. You're claiming our always previously available ability to change our FAQ is now unavailable because we voted in a grandfather clause. You are attempting to use a voted-in measure to keep the FAQ frozen (which has not historically been a static document) until such time as a voted-in measure expires, and you're telling us this on the basis of the results of a voted-in measure - the grandfather clause.
Whatcha got heah, is a paradox, my friends or possibly marzipan in my pieplate Bingo.
A paradox?
(laughing) A paradox!
A most ingenious paradox!
We've quips and quibbles heard in flocks,
But none to beat this paradox!
A paradox, a paradox,
A most ingenious paradox!
Any luck on getting people unblocked that lost access to us after we moved off HR? <missing Jesse>
Aw. But there's nothing we can do, I'm pretty sure. I mean, we have no influence on the software my office uses to block sites. I'm blocked from a lot more stuff now, including shriftweb.
Wrong thread. Easily confused person. Not enough coffee.
Thanks, I needed that. Smile.
Can someone give an example of a prior spoiler policy? Anyone? Bueller?
We have had this one for a looooooooooooong time.

Gandalfe, if you look at the Lightbulb thread's full name, you'll see that it is a discussion thread.
Can you please remove your very large from the thread, as it is disruptive.
I personally feel that your comments were out of line.
For those who are curious, none of us (as far as I know) were around in the original TT thread until season 3. Maybe some people were lurking - I delurked after "The Wish", and I'm certainly one of the longest-tenured people here.
If you read back in the first TT thread, someone spoiled Angel losing his soul before the episode aired.
