For years, the community has complained that almost of OWOT's admins are veteran users who barely moderate in the current day, leaving the brunt of the burden to FP. This has caused spam to run rampant in times of the day where FP is inaccessible, which many users say is causing the downfall of the canvas. | For years, the community has complained that almost of OWOT's admins are veteran users who barely moderate in the current day, leaving the brunt of the burden to FP.

=== 2025 color ban === | |||
{{main|2025 color ban}}FP disabled color on December 19th, 2025 in response to a growing trend of NSFW [[Image pasters|image pastes]] and video scripts, electing to keep colors off until an "image safety feature" could be implemented. | |||
The color ban was a highly controversial action. Many users protested the removal of a core OWOT feature, while others believed it to be a necessary measure against spam and pornographic content. | |||

''*As of late 2025, FP has made no indication that he will appoint any full-time mods.'' | |||
* '''d9eoead''': Included in an early 2025 mod poll. D9 believes that he is a good fit due to being a moderator in another Discord server and having a history of criticizing bad actors within the community. He was a highly controversial figure up until early 2025, but has not gotten into any major drama since then. | |||
* '''lime.owot:''' Included in an early 2025 mod poll. While well respected, lime is a somewhat controversial "candidate" due to his insistence on giving trolls second chances even after repeated offenses. | |||
* '''Echoden:''' Included in an early 2025 mod poll. Left the site in late 2025. | |||
* '''Sylveon:''' Included in an early 2025 mod poll. Hasn't said anything about wanting to be mod since then. | |||
* '''[[Catha'Vi]]:''' tbd | |||
* '''[[Schjessu]]:''' Requested to be made a mod in December 2025 despite her controversial actions in the recent past. She was fed up with the rampancy of spam on the canvas and believed that she would be a good fit due to being frequently active on OWOT. Read more at [https://ourworldoftext.com/schjessu#x:3417,y:3417 /schjessu#x:3417,y:3417]. Schjessu is by far the most controversial mod "candidate" and several users (''including FP'') have spoken against her. | |||
