{{main|December 2025 spam war}}
{{main|Wipers#gimmickCellar's_raywiper}}


Bombarded spawn with large-scale spam in late December 2025.  
A tool that was made to erase spam, but that became a potent spamming tool after it was leaked in December 2025. On December 20th and 21st, 2025, two users named bengobeklitava and UntitledOWOT used the script to bombard Spawn with a wide array of shape spam. This was one of the largest spam waves that OWOT has experienced in a few months.  


The spam here was created using [[Wipers#gimmickCellar's raywiper|gimmickCellar's raywiper]], which can paste text in a variety of shapes, sizes and patterns.
gimmickCellar's raywiper allows users to customize the size, shape, and expansion pattern of the wipe area. It can be very easily retrofitted for spam as there is a feature that lets you swap out any character for spaces.  


Emojis were used to circumvent a [[color ban]] placed upon the Mainpage.<gallery widths="200">
The wiper is still being used for spam as of February 2026. <gallery widths="200">

== Anti-spam scripts ==
=== Wipers ===
{{main|Wipers}}
The primary scripted tool for combatting spam. Most wipers are able to delete text faster than manual wiping, and these scripts often contain additional features such as the ability to skip over spaces or target specific types of characters. Of course, wipers can also be used to destroy things other than spam.
=== Text restorer from February 2026 ===
Seems to be created to counteract scribble spam from the PKK Spammer. This script deletes spam characters from bodies of text (Ex. paragraphs, image pastes) and fills in missing spaces by duplicating the characters directly above the spammed area. This results in some amount of vertical distortion where the spam has been filled in.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">
