I'll give Trudy the benefit of the doubt. But Elena, what?? Remove your very large toenail clippings? Your very large pizza with extra mushrooms?
I'm still 200 posts behind, alas! (I'll find it eventually.)
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

VERY large font. Comedically large. Font that has no need to fear the mockery of other fonts in the locker room.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I gotta sit with Dana. I like to be as unspoiled as possible. On the other hand, I don't have the energy to participate in this debate, and odd as it may be I trust the Buffistas to work out something reasonable. If we come up with something that's different from now, I'll learn to live with it. This is still the safest place on the Net for spoilerphobes like me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I really do wish that more of the unspoiled would speak up in the Light Bulbs thread. It would make it easier to gauge everyone's positions.

I hope this accurately reflects what was agreed upon.

It sounds like this was pretty much decided, but just in case ... I agree that the grandfather clause should not be taken as applying to the entire FAQ, especially parts that (like the spoiler policy) were discussed, written, and implemented by persons unknown at a point in time alone.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I truly am very interested in whether Grandfather covers the FAQ. It's disturbing to me if it does. It's a lis of Frequently Asked Questions that cover everything from quick edit, to beagles, to where to send money to support the Phoenix, to how DavidS got his nickname.
If we can't make a change to one part of it because of Grandpappy, then we can't make changes to any of it. If Jesse no longer wants to deal with the donations, and Beth says she'd be happy to take over, well, Jesse is shit out of luck until such a date as when we are allowed to vote.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Say grandfathering doesn't apply to the FAQ. Does it apply to the rule in the NAFDA thread headers?
I'm still surprised by the idea that persons unknown covertly made this decision and imposed it on the board as a whole. My reflex thought is that if there was no discussion, it was because no one voiced an objection. But it must have come up somewhere ... Buffistas never do anything without yammering, do we?

Don't think it is a case of covertly, so much as accidentally. That is people get asked to delete or move or whitefont a post because it is spoilery, and they do assuming the person asking knows what they are talking about. And the person asking believes they know what they are talking about, because that is how they interpert the spoiler rule.
