Our World of Text (OWOT or OWoT) is a website that lets users type text anywhere in a grid. Users can choose the color of their text and visit other pages known as "worlds." In OWOT, all users start on the main page and can visit other worlds by adding the name of the world to the end of the URL after a slash, or by clicking a link in the Center Console or anywhere else on the main page. | Our World of Text (OWOT or OWoT) is a website that lets users type text anywhere in a grid.

A world is divided into chunks that are 16 cells wide and 8 cells tall, called a tile. Each cell can store only one grapheme cluster, allowing Zalgo text to be written since users can create combined characters. Do note, however, that OWOT's implementation of grapheme clustering is relatively limited and only covers Emoji characters and combining characters. For more information, please see [[Tile format]]. | A world is divided into chunks that are 16 cells wide and 8 cells tall, called a tile.

Our World of Text does not require the usage of accounts to access and edit public worlds, and to use the chatrooms. To manage accounts, OWOT uses Uvias as its authentication system, which was introduced on August 27, 2019. The goal of Uvias is to allow for the sharing of accounts between Our World of Text, Our World of Pixels, and the upcoming project Spooks. | Our World of Text does not require the usage of accounts to access and edit public worlds, and to use the chatrooms.

Since the introduction of the Uvias account system in 2019, users have now been able to do extra things such as changing their username, viewing their login sessions and their join date, and disabling their account. | Since the introduction of the Uvias account system in 2019, users have now been able to do extra things such as changing their username, viewing their login sessions and their join date, and disabling their account. | ||
== Moderation == | ==Moderation == | ||
For the most part, Our World of Text is unmoderated with the exception of attacks on server infrastructure, illegal material (limited to CSAM), malicious script usage, and suspected sabotage campaigns possibly done by adjacent communities. Both the main page and global chatrooms (via the chatbox) are subject to anti-spam control which may be imperfect. The main page has virtually no rules, with the exception of pornographic images done via full-color Unicode block characters (on or close to spawn, and illegal types), malicious script usage (to the point of inhibiting usage of the page), and link spamming (mainly done by replicator scripts). Vandalism on certain popular areas such as [[Pika City]] may be subject to reversion periodically. Our World of Text is not designed to support the general part of the internet populace, which is why content rules are relatively more lax.<references /> | For the most part, Our World of Text is unmoderated with the exception of attacks on server infrastructure, illegal material (limited to CSAM), malicious script usage, and suspected sabotage campaigns possibly done by adjacent communities.
