And my new question is: Why do you care so much?
Because it was 2am my time and almost every thread I'd read through in the preceding hour had someone pop in with a "helpful" "you should spoiler your title/post" and the lunacy of it started to get on my nerves. The tradition of calling it HFS and the whole clown thing is fine, but look through the threads from the viewpoint of someone who's legitimately new: even avoiding the *spoiler* threads you'd have to be several kinds of dense to not put together that HFS is: fort ending, deep, and FPS destroying. Add in mundane and non-spoiler references to demons that usurp human and goblin kingdoms and that's that. The thin gloss of spoiler protection is barely functional and the community at large has moved onto new and interesting challenges that directly engage hell, like colonizing it or sealing off the pits or whatever. The spoiler protection reminds me of
this.
Also I disagree with the idea that hell is a cordoned off area of the game. Acquiring Adamantite is natural in the progression of the game, just as setting up forges are, and hell is the built-in hazard of harvesting adamantite. Even with full knowledge of what's down there it's dangerous because you don't know if a vein is solid or hollow unless you've used Reveal. That does mean you can ignore it if you want, but you can also ignore milking, glass, and textiles because of their complexity and that doesn't make them spoilers.
Lastly, the running joke of
is just that: a running joke. You don't pop into threads and tell people to "spoiler that" and expect to be taken seriously.
