d9 is a proponent for stronger moderation within the community, and has asked to be made a mod on several occasions.

In the [[OWOT Discord]], he proposed the following guideline for appointing new moderators.<blockquote>~~"''hold on''~~

In the [[OWOT Discord]], he proposed the following guideline for appointing new moderators:<blockquote>''OWOT has a big moderation problem, coming from the lack of it. There is only 1 mod on the site, [[Fp|FP]], and he rarely ever moderates due to a harsh schedule. While OWOT has already attempted to hire new mods (and failed), I propose another attempt.''

''There should be an official mod application form, posted ONLY in this server. People can apply to be moderators and enter a queue. They are required to enter their usernames on OWOT and the OWOT discord server. Questions must be moderation-related, such as what the user would do in certain scenarios, as well as how they believe they could be a good candidate for mod. When there has been a specific amount of people in queue, the form closes.''

Line 132:

''Mods can search your record to see if you are trustable or a good fit. They can also deny your application based on underage, immaturity, or a history of being a nuisance or untrustworthy figure. After a select handful of users have been accepted, they are DMed on Discord asking if the application was them. This is to avoid impersonation.''

''The new mods have a lower rank than the original staff. They can only mute users on the site and discord, but are supposed to alert higherups before further action is taken. “Junior moderators” main role is to only assist moderation or to keep an eye on users and alert Fern or FP if anything bad is happening.''"</blockquote>

=== The site's past ===

d9 looks back nostalgically upon the 2022 era of OWOT, citing it as an edgier but more entertaining phase of the community. This was a period that was largely centered around the [[Chat|frontpage chat]], before it was [[Removal of chat|removed]].

He cited trolls like [[PinkiePie]], [[ScarlettAnn]], and [[Elon musk]] as important figures from that time. Notably, d9 reflected that he enjoyed this era so much in part because he himself was a troll at the time.

=== Textwall ===

He believes that a large part of the community's decline can be attributed to the 2024 [[TextWaller migration]], which flooded the site with immature/underage users. Notorious subcultures such as [[fictional googology]] and [[antiswear]] were introduced to OWOT from [[TextWall|Textwall]], both of which are despised by d9.

d9 has the following to say about Textwallers:<blockquote>''yeah. the textwall immigration wave destroyed the owot userbase and the stain is still there. there's still a bunch of little kids or dumbfucks every once in a while but back then they were fucking everywhere. even if you uttered the word "fuck" once you'd get a handful of kids spiraling telling you that SWEARING BAD!!! U MUST NOT SWEAR!!''</blockquote><blockquote>they tried to... reclaim owot. transform its rules and already built community to fit themselves and what they wanted. selfish and annoying. parasitic, even.

and they are still here. trollboxers are coming too, there's a few good trollboxers but the rest are the same as the textwall kids from back then</blockquote>
