FP: Difference between revisions

'''FP''' (also stylized as '''fp''') is the creator, lead developer and only active admin of [[Our World of Text]]. He is tasked with maintaining the server and client, managing certain events (including the New Year's countdowns and April Fools events), cleaning up the front page, and protecting OWOT from both external and internal threats.

fp is an administrator on the [[OWOT Discord]] server. He uploads screenshots to the [[OWOT Discord##screenshots|#screenshots]] channel almost daily and makes sure the server is kept safe from spammers and outside threats.

=== Your World of Text ===

<blockquote>"''The origin of "FP" dates back to May 2015. I wanted to create an account on YWOT that archives the protected center box on the front page. The plan was to copy the entire box and paste it into protected areas on the page. I registered ~FP and began to paste the archives I already had in one of my folders. "FP" is an acronym of "Front Page". I continued to archive until Summer of 2015.''"</blockquote>FP found [[Your World of Text]] in December of 2014 and would have been considered a newbie at the time, compared to users like [[InfraRaven]] and [[Mr.Guy|Mr. Guy]] who have been around since ~2011. His original YWOT username was [https://www.yourworldoftext.com/~Destroy1010 /~Destroy1010].

He is known on YWOT for archiving pieces of the site's history on his worlds. At one point Andrew was impressed enough with his efforts to link [https://www.yourworldoftext.com/~fp /~fp/] on the site's center console.

In July of 2015 FP witnessed a complete reset of the YWOT mainpage following a massive wave of spam. By the end of the year, he had thought that YWOT was "done for, finished."

FP began working on an YWOT clone named NodeWorldOfText in mid-2016. In 2017 the project was noticed by InfraRaven, who offered to host it under the "ourworldoftext.com" domain. The name "NodeWorldOfText" was later given to the open-source version of OWOT.

As OWOT tracks every edit made to its canvas, FP has the power to trigger rollbacks whenever spam gets out of hand. He can also place rate limits on specific users — or on certain areas of the canvas — to curb destructive scripting or any activity that puts a strain on the server. In addition to this, FP regularly bans users for disruptive spamming.

Edits on [[World|subworlds]] are tracked as well, and users can request FP to perform rollbacks on their pages. Importantly, however, there is an option for world owners to turn off edit tracking. FP encourages users to do so in the event that they have a long-running script(Ex. Lime's radio) on their pages, so as to not clog up storage. If they do not comply then he will resort to turning it off himself. This is stated to be the only instance where FP will temper with other users' worlds.

FP is currently the only active moderator on OWOT, meaning that the canvas is still greatly chaotic despite his best efforts. There are several other admins along with a group of users with member permissions on the Mainpage(''i.e. being able to create member-only tiles''), but almost all of them are inactive as of 2024. On one occasion [[Poopman]] privated the entire site in order to protect it from ?????. This is among the only instance of an administrative action performed by someone other than FP.

For years there have been petitions for FP to appoint new admins or give moderation powers to trusted users. Nothing has been done about this so far, with FP presumably being distrustful of giving out administrative power.

After much pressure, FP appointed a veteran scripter named [[Fernsy]](''formerly Yagton'') as an admin on the server. Today Fern is in charge of the majority of moderation on the OWOT Discord.

FP changes the names of all Discord channels on April's Fool(''Ex. <u>#screenshots</u> -> <u>#shotscreen</u> and <u>#trash</u> -> <u>#treasure</u>'').

On New Year's Eve, he hosts a live countdown for every timezone.
