On January 22, FP expressed concern that someone was spamming JavaScript links, which when clicked, would run code in the user's browser, such as Starianna's counting bot, after having muted the fourth bot that day. Tomorrow FP would mute the bot for the longest time possible, hoping it would stop. More bots had to be muted as the spam counting continued.

On January 24, FP stated he would work to address the phenomenon, believing that the bots were not run in the browser, but from numerous non-proxy residential IP addresses. The WOTD at the time, /name_tree, became the target of Starianna's counting. FP attempted to reach out to Starianna on January 25, but only received automated counting in response. Starianna continued to change her IP address to a fresh non-proxy legitimate-looking one every time she was muted.
<!--
Two days later, on January 22nd, FP has made a remark on the fact that there might be somebody spamming JS links, activating the counting bot, after muting the fourth bot that day.
The next day, he gave the supposed Starianna spammer the maximum mute amount, hoping they would stop. After a couple more spam-counting incidents and a couple more mutes, on January 24th, FP has stated that he will work to address this strange counting bot phenomenon, and that he has evidence to suggest these bots aren't run on the browser, and that they're from dozens of residential IPs (not proxies).
On the same day, after the numerous mutes given, Starianna temporarily moved the counting bot to /name_tree, which was the WOTD at the time.
 
On January 25th, FP attempted to contact Starianna about how he can't get rid of her, although there was no response other than more automated counting. Additionally, he has mentioned the fact that Starianna changes her IP address to a non-proxy IP that appears legitimate every time she gets muted.
