List of trolls on OWOT/Starianna: Difference between revisions

Line 13:

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.

[[d9eoead]] complained to FP that he was repeatedly hitting ratelimits despite not spamming. FP replied that it was possible he was actively running a chatbot. FP speculated on the possibility that Starianna was using a Glitch or REPL project to run the bot when users visited it, providing the bot legitimate IP addresses. Additionally, he mentioned possibly using CSP to block other sites from connecting to OWOT, which could prove valuable in the war on Starianna.
