=== Emote Boards ===

In the [[OWOT Discord]], multiple users operate boards dedicated to indexing posts that have received at least a certain amount of reactions for one emote. As of October 2025, [[Fern]]'s index of boards, a pinned message in trash, includes four boards, which are: her fireboard (5+ fire reactions); [[Lime.person|Lime]]'s catboard; the foxboard, run by [[Fox]] (who later became the host of the [[Echoden]] system); and the deerboard, run by [[Catha'Vi]] (now the host of the Weird Creature System).

The Fireboard is the oldest and longest board. It is operated by [[Fern]], and has been running since June 2024. It arose from the creation of the fire/wastebasket system per decisions made as part of the Shitpost Working Group that Fern ran from June 12 to June 18, 2024<ref name="srwg">{{Cite news|title=Shitpost Regulation WG brings change to server|date=2024-06-22|access-date=2025-10-06|author=Lemuria|newspaper=[[Our World of News]]|url=https://archive.org/details/our-world-of-news-2024-06-22/mode/1up?q=shitpost+regulation}}</ref>

In June 2025, Fern stopped updating the board, as she had began work on creating a dedicated website for a fully automated fireboard, which Fern confirmed she was working on in October 2025. In the meantime, [[Sylveon]] created a thread where she took over the work of updating the fireboard. Lemuria has also been an active contributor to the unofficial board.

There also exists the trashboard, a collective term to refer to all posts that have been deleted for reaching a score of −5. In this case, the score is the number of wastebasket reactions, minus the number of fire reactions.<ref name="srwg" /> Self-reactions do not count.

=== "The Catmint Curse" ===

[[File:Catmint_poll.jpg|right|frameless|342x342px]]

The '''Catmint curse''' is a phenomenon in the [[OWOT Discord]] that results in a user's nickname being set to "catmint". [[Fernsy|Fern]] was the first person to bear the name. She later abandoned the name, and [[Akatas]] adopted the name. In a poll on May 22, 2025, lasting 24 hours, 10 people unanimously voted for [[Lemuria]] to inherit the catmint curse, and as a result, his nickname was changed to catmint.

The Catmint Curse was originally named such by [[Name]] who realized that aka was a prolific force in the #solve channel of the discord during the time in which she was Catmint.

<u>Previous bearers of the curse:</u>

* [[Fernsy|Fern]] (June 4, 2024)

** Changed name from Catmint, then to Catoria, then to Fern.

* [[Akatas|aka]] (April 2, 2025)
