New poll for buffywantswillow

Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the 
buffywantswillow group:

Okay, so we've been having a little tussle over the Spoiler Rules, as you may have read. Some folks don't understand why you need separate tags and spacing to post details of future episodes when the post already says SPOILERS. And some people (like me) don't understand why others can't get that discussion of the most recent ep seen (with a SPOILERS tag to warn away those who are getting it on a delayed basis) and information on eps nobody has seen are two very different usages of the word "SPOILERS" and must not mix. So some options for a possible change, and a poll.

NOTE: After some consideration, I've decided to remove the options regarding the total unleashing of SPOILERS (for future episodes) and the total banning of SPOILERS (same kind) from the choices. I feel these would be too radical of a change in the rules, because either one would disenfranchise a significant portion of the list. Even if we had 75% for a total SPOILER ban, I wouldn't like to totally bar the spoiler minority from having some means to communicate here, and even if we had 75% for "SPOILERS means anything we want, so beware", I wouldn't want to force the unspoiled out of discussing the current ep, which that would do. (Particularly since the two people who do weekly ep reviews are, apparently, unspoiled.) Further down the road, if necessary, we can always switch to stronger measures, but not right now.

o Remove the spoiler tags and spacing for current eps; SPOILERS would only apply to future eps (but this might spoil people who get the eps a couple of days late) 
o Change the tags and spacing regarding current eps to DISCUSSION; SPOILERS would be for future eps, and the two things would be kept separate (but maybe a new term would be hard to learn) 
o Keep things as they are and just have the moderators enforce the rules properly (but some people are clearly unhappy with the rules or just not following them)
