A member of a world, is a special type of user that can protect squares on the world, use BG colors[1] and write on those squares. Normal users cannot do these things. Members can be added or removed by a world's owner, and users can opt out of membership within a certain world.

Each world can have a maximum of 3000 members.

Main world members

A list of main world members on December 7th, 2021
Main world member role on Discord

Admins are known to appoint trustworthy users to be members on the Mainpage.

Main world members have the (Member) tag in chat, which members of other worlds do not have. They can also access other member functionalities on the Mainpage, most notably the abilities to wipe text faster and to protect pieces of text. By scrolling around Spawn, you can find the occasional art or message that's preserved by member protections.

Main world members can also edit the Center Console. For example, Happyworld392 added the 🍖 and 🍬 links to the SOP around 2021.

Criteria for membership

"It depends on how we're feeling the day you asked. Generally, we'd give membership to old or mature members of the community, but even that depends.

The members promoted last year were trial members to see how they'd do."

— FP on January 1st, 2022

Users can get promoted to members by asking FP or InfraRaven, though there's no strict criteria for becoming one other than the fact that you have to be a trusted member of the community.

List of main world members

This list will not include alt accounts or automation accounts, such as FP's alt Root, which was intended to be a service account for running bots.

InfraRaven is not listed here because he is the owner of the Mainpage.

Former main world members

Main world members can be demoted when they abuse their privileges for spam or other malicious purposes, or when they prove themselves to be too untrustworthy for their position.

FP and Infra have removed members for being inactive, though this has not happened in recent times.

Notes

  1. ↑ for main world members in the main world (or background colors is set to "me and members" by the world owner.)
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 "cv and tap20 were promoted because they asked for membership, and I called them "trial mods" which was inaccurate because members aren't moderators."— FP
  3. ↑ "I only recall promoting squinch once unless he was added historically by infra then demoted. I recall there being an inactivity purge of some sort but I have no written record of anything." — FP
  4. ↑ "I was a member of the main page for a while, but then I lost my main-page rights. I think Infra was clearing people off the rolls, had forgotten who I was, said "Who the hell is Pleroma?" and removed me." — Squinch in January 2022
  5. ↑ "I used to be a member here. On Awakens.me (now Wokecat), I asked InfraRaven if I could be made a member so I could protect Opubridge from griefing." — Squinch in 2021
  6. ↑ "well i can assure you that i would use my abilities to page member to do absolutely fucking nothing since i barely go on the website anymore" — Fern in 2023
  7. ↑ "for starters, Vixie's membership was an utter failure on my part. when I received a DM in 2020 requesting membership, I thought it was somebody who was genuinely interested in maintaining the member-protected area in the center [...] at the time, I was not aware of Vixie's background or that he was a spammer." — FP
  8. ↑ Vixie is believed by large parts of the community(ranging from Anons to Fern) to be a pedophile, but the allegations are not 100% proven.
  9. ↑ "the period of time between "i got member" and "cutievova demote" measured precisely in milliseconds" — Cv
  10. ↑ "[andrei] said some dumb password challenge thing [and] cutievova actually gave details, and then [andrei] had brief member seizure before i told and he got demoted [...] they started putting a bunch of random shill shit on center console too" — Happyworld
  11. ↑ "It's a pretty long story. So i was just sending "person below has to tell me their owot password" and cv fell for it, and he actually /told me his password. And then, when he became a member, i, an absolute idiot, wanted to give bzuki (at the time i didnt know he was a complete retard.) Imagine what would've happened if infra didn't demote me. Good thing infra noticed." — Andrei
