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.

Also, as I was reading the FAQ to see if we ever delineated Press more than the slug, I came across these mentions of Spoilers lite:
Q. What if I can't determine if news is allowable under Summer Casting Rules?
A. Don't post it. Ask in the applicable spoiler or spoilers-lite thread. One of our experienced Buffista Spoiler Companions willbe glad to help you figure it out. Chances are, if it's legal information, one of them will have already posted it in the applicable show thread, anyhow.
Q. Do I have to use the white font for spoilers?
A. In the Spoilage Lite threads, yes. In the main hardcore spoiler
thread, no, but it's good form if there is something really really
shocking and impending. Like, for example, quotes from an early-bird
review. Also, be aware that people using text-only browsers like
Lynx don't get any juice out of the white font, so it's nice to
give them a text-only warning that there are spoilers ahead.
I think David is very wise, especially here:
scrolling past is one of the most important social lubricants we've got
Yup, yup, yup.
I have no opinion on the deathmatch announcements.

I should add, this is why I didn't make any comment about O.C. posts until now. And I only used it as an example in this instance, not an actual objection.
Also, Elena, I have not sent my fall blanket. I am sew busy that the thought of doing something crafty in my free time is almost impossible.
Sophia, I forgive you, but only because of the terribly charming Freudian misspelling.

And I should add that if this were to end up driving us to consensus, then vote schmote - we don't need to stinkin' vote (I'm speaking only to my own just previous post, by the way, not to anyone else who may have suggested one).
ETA: And, yeah, yeah, Hec is wise.
I think that, especially now that we're in a new quotables thread (so it's at the bottom of the subscription list), it is good to have the press posts. Otherwise, hitting "read new", you don't get to quotables till you're caught up in Bitches/Natter.
Or, to not speak for people not me, replace 'you' with 'me'.
IIRC, we've only got two more characters to deathmatch once the current Spike round is done, so it's not like this is going to be an ongoing thing.
Also, feeling INCREDIBLY stupid and slow here, but who is Frankenbuddha?
