Fern recounts on the [[OWOT Discord|Discord]] how entire factions of trolls would wage war on the site's many pages, with there even being a cult-like organization in their midst. One of the most popular tactics was to overload pages with so many edits that they could no longer be loaded properly.

In the absence of any moderators, admins, or even rate limits, the ~~ravage~~ of trolls and griefers had to be counteracted by the efforts of individual users. Fern recalls participating in a full-on arms race to create scripts that ~~can~~ save and restore pages from spam scripts.
