History
Early history
Starianna was part of OWOT's community as Sabrina. Sabrina predates her identity as Starianna. Sabrina's earliest messages in the OWOT Discord were in late October 2023. She interacted with many of the server's users, particularly Lemuria who joined in November 2023, but was not controversial at the time.
Sabrina had her own chat logger during this time, though it is unknown how comprehensive her logging was.
Counting bot
On January 20, 2024, a counting bot began to spam the root world's chat with numbers. FP swiftly muted the bot. It returned two hours later, being unnoticed for slightly longer but still being muted. Afterwards, the bot began to send the name "Starianna" before starting its counting.[1]
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, GraviTraxFan helped the owner hijklmnop2 how to mute it, which was a success. 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. He later discovered that he had been running a chat spam script in another browser tab, which he closed. 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.
Starianna, in response to filters muting based on keywords, began changing the phrases she would spam, as observed by FP on January 28..
Uncovering of Sabrina as an alt
At 12:09 UTC on January 28, 2024, twinnie discovered Sabrina's YouTube channel, with the display name "Starianna". lime.owot posted a link to the Discord server three minutes later, with no reactions.
Sabrina, I have to do what I have to do

speaking to Sabrina before banning her
At 12:57 UTC, Sabrina admitted to running the spambot, saying "Yeah I just kept this a secret for a week lol". #trash promptly became more active as people rushed in to poke and make fun of Sabrina, until FP became active on OWOT Discord. She left the OWOT server, but after OWOT Today and Goatway Remake banned her from their servers. She rejoined the OWOT server.
Sabrina began to spam-ping everyone. One of the members then sent Sabrina a death threat, making her significantly more hostile. She devolved into homophobic and racial slurs, and made an alt account to evade the impending ban. At around 16:00 UTC, FP logged on. AndreiXYZ promptly messaged FP to discuss the situation, providing information and evidence to support Sabrina's ban, At 16:09 UTC, FP spoke to Sabrina, before banning him.
After the ban
In the wake of the ban, efforts began across OWOT to clean up the counting bots. By early February they were beginning to subside. According to an anonymous user (id 6272), the Man-Hating Zone along with many organizations took part in the cleaning effort, and that FP removed ratelimits for anonymous users to make the clean-up easier.
On February 2, OWOT Today posted an article about Starianna in the Discord.[1]
As of February, Starianna remains active on her YouTube channel.
The comeback
Later after the ban, Starianna came back, sending out of character and cryptic codes that leads to her villain arc and bot script development.
That day when Starianna was done with her bot script,
she launched a Proxy Attack which was aiming to users to go to a dark web site.
FP later muted her spambots, finding out they were residential non-proxies from Portugal, Brazil which almost got PinkiePie's IP which coincidentally caused her to run the bot on a depending schedule: 06:50am-9:00am, 12:50pm to 20:00pm UTC-6 which has not been likely confirmed and needs time registration. There is a very (un)likely chance that she might team up with some generally hated users to make a script that will ddos and shutdown OWOT in the future, although it might not happen.
