A bump

well, there's not supposed to be anything spoilered out in the description. this includes sidestepping by using notes and the like instead of spoiler tags. that note is against the rules, and it was against the rules for you to spoil out the names in the first place. something has to be worked out there.

i actually think the Brutal Bonus Level entry is okay. enough is unspoiled for you to know they're talking about the last song, and you shouldn't click on it if you haven't unlocked the last song.

I just removed it from the song list for now.

I'll concede to that — I only listed it in a note as getting rid of who sings it but not the song itself would make it clash with the rest of the list imo, but it could easily be kept to just the song title since the name "Miller" doesn't immediately tip anything off for those unaware of Dayshift at Freddy's (i.e. most of the fanbase).

In regards to Brutal Bonus Level however, I thought there was a spoiler rule about leaving enough context visible to get the general gist of the example? I remember reading about that somewhere.

i don't think so; i think you just have to leave enough visible so people know approximately when the spoiler happens, giving them enough context to know "oh i saw that part already" or "oh im not that far yet, better hold off".

I'm not sure if the mere fact that a song is called "Miller" would count as a spoiler. I mean, maybe the name gives something away about it since it's the name of some of the people singing it, but is that on its own enough to adversely affect one's enjoyment of the mod?

I did notice that a lot of FNF mods use spoiler tags in the description to hide details about the bonus song, which should be cleaned up everywhere. The question is whether to hide the characters involved, the song name, or the whole existence of the song.

I did unspoiler “Fourth Wall” from Funkin' at Freddy's, which was a big deal when it came out. Maybe the same should be done here.

The Arkhom Destroyer readded it in a spoiler tag. I offer a compromise: list the song’s name but not who sings it.

i changed it to "#Miller, whose vocalists are Walking Spoilers" with a link to this ATT for the time being.
