So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Taken care of.

Speaking of...

Took me longer than remembered to find the freakin' spoiler policy.

As it IS the most frequent accidental guactrip, can we add it to the left hand links?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Also, the Etiquette doc says:

Don't post spoilers outside the spoiler threads. We consider spoilers to be anything that has not yet been broadcast. This includes TV Guide-type listings, actors' contracts, etc. --- basically, anything that has not yet been broadcast belongs in a spoiler thread.

If you do accidentally post a spoiler, please either delete it or white it out. If you don't, a Stompy Foot may do it for you.

"or white it out" needs to be removed.

I'd also recommend revising the first paragraph to read:

Don't post spoilers outside the spoiler threads. We consider spoilers to be anything that has not yet been broadcast. This includes casting and plot information -- TV Guide-type listings, actors' contracts, etc. Anything that has not yet been broadcast belongs in a spoiler thread.

just to clarify that casting spoilers are considered spoilers here.

Or, alternately, just make the text the same as the spoiler definition in the FAQ:

[A spoiler is] Anything that hasn't been broadcast. So anything from the show and the preview trailers is okay, anything from TV Guide or anywhere else is a spoiler, including casting news, episode titles and plot twists. No white fonting.

Huh.

So, we have written down episode titles as spoilers, but we've, in practice, used them.

Yargh.

Brain blew up.

In practice, ep titles are considered spoilery unless Tim mentions them first. I think we've been consistent about that, at least.

Hmm. I don't think so, but I'd have to check and see in the archives.

Again: head hurty. I don't actually care much one way or the other, though.

Though I do have a random notion that perhaps we should have Angel Spoilers change to TV Spoilers when the show ends, just because of my sudden fear of having NOWHERE to discuss these things.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I was just going to say this. In practice, Tim, Joss et al have a pass on Spoilers--and let's face it, their never gonna give away the good stuff, anyway.

I delurk, therefore I am.

Gah. I am so embarrassed. Normally when I repost things Tim has said to my LiveJournal, I don't link back here. Just, you know, to be polite, because from lurking the right-hand threads I kinda got the impression that linking to the site was frowned upon (and someone correct me if I'm wrong).

OTOH, I am kinda pleased that 22 people came here from my LJ, 'cause only three people on my friends list had expressed interest in Wonderfalls. Plus, more readers for me!

Gah...like, all TV? Would we whitefont? Would there be rules to accomodate freakish people like me who want to be spoiled rotten for narrative television, but avoid reality spoilers like the plague?

In any case, I'd rather archive Angel Spoilers and start a new thread, for ease in archive searching.
