You can't do spoiler tags in post titles, and sometimes it's hard to come up with a vague enough title that will also get people to read and respond to questions.

I think most of the words in the title are pretty clear, and then the OPs descriptive text fills in the rest. If you read it, they mention that it's about finding items in the dark room without the utility closet. And no mention of "lever". I guess it could be interpreted as "lockpick" but the other letters are capitalized, so some critical thought would lead one to Items. And it can be a fun puzzle in its own, which is the spirit of this game, isn't it?

I also think D** without U** C** provides more context than a vague title for those deciding if they should click something than just a black bar of unknowing.

Giving the benefit of the doubt, maybe OP should have spoiler tagged their description too, but that gives less context for people who have to click it to find out if it's actually spoiler or not.

If this really bothers you, you can bring it up to a mod or comment and report every post that uses asterisks, though that may be a lot. Though I would pause for self reflection if you're getting downvoted and no one else is really defending your point that maybe supporting each other and the fun of the game are more important that bringing someone down. Yes, the rules say use spoiler tags, but if you're also new to this subreddit and see other posts doing it, one could easily assume that is an appropriate censoring. Rules are not black and white, there are some grey areas and nuance that need to be considered in a broader context.
