A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

That's not clear at all. It isn't clear that summertime cast announcements were considered spoilers when the slug for the thread and the FAQ for this board were written.
At the very moment they were written? No. Prior to that? YES. It IS clear. Summer spoilers have been a concern before. Sometimes they were discussed, sometimes they weren't, but they HAVE been a concern.
Tell me, are you going to also address that the FF spoiler thread is being used against it's policy, and that it's slug was changed despite the grandfather clause prohibition on changing things always in effect?
Was there ANY objection to that change?
Besides, re-purposing one thread is not as big as changing an essential policy that has existed since the beginning of the community.
Was there ANY objection to that change?
Yes. I believe Le Nubian objected. In this thread, as a matter of fact.
Yes! Although frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if the count changed.
We could update it as it happened, and it would be really, really funny.
Yes, this! And it would be even funnier if by some freak chance, it never changed, and it just stayed, and stayed...but no, wait, we're talking about Tim here. Anyway, yay for this thread title!

Count me as a vote toward this option. While I doubt that a character-based series will allow Tim quite the free reign with violence and mayhem that Angel did, the fact that Wonderfalls' premise has been compared to Amélie puts me in mind of the quirky death the mother of the movie's title character suffered. I bet we'll have an elderly shut-in providing one last meal for his or her 53 cats or somesuch before the season is done.
Oh yeah, there'll be sad or poignant deaths, even if not funny ones.
Hey, by the way, thank you to everyone who went and actually found those TT and WX conversations.
Count me among those who feel the GFC does not apply here. Also, I feel that the possibility of it being applied should have been discussed prior to the Light Bulb thread being opened and hundreds of posts being made.
Lovely thread name. My memory tells me that we had several fun suggestions at the time we were voting on creating the thread. When I am more alert I will search some.

I didn't think of that while I was watching it, but it's very true!
And I like Wonderfalls 1, Body count 0, updated as necessary. (Though Touched By a Crazy Person has the appeal of being a Tim quote.)
I think any ballot that officially broadens the terms of the spoiler policy should include, if passed, the creation of a virgin thread.
That way, the spoiled, the semi-spoiled, the just a little spoiled on this one thing AND the unspoiled will all have a place to talk.
