Anon

An anon (short for anonymous user) is any user who is not currently signed into a Uvias account. They aren't identified by a traditional username; instead, they are assigned a random numerical ID, usually 4 digits long, which changes each session.

An anonymous user's default screen name is their ID, surrounded by brackets (e.g. [1000]). If they have a nickname set, its value is appended to the end, and an asterisk precedes their ID (e.g. [*1000] sample nickname).

Permissions

Anonymous users have access to many of the basic privileges found in OWOT. They can:

• Visit and/or edit public worlds,
• Visit and/or edit member-only worlds with a membership key,
• View and send messages in chat,
• Set a nickname in chat,
• and send & receive command broadcasts.

They're also explicitly disallowed from any of the following:

• Claiming worlds,
• Visiting private worlds, or member-only worlds without a membership key,
• or setting a custom chat color.
