 Spam is unwanted repetitive content intended to render a medium of communication useless for a period of time, or to cause annoyance to users.
+Users throughout OWOT's history have complained about the overabundance of spam, which has almost always drowned out [[Art|original content]] at [[Spawn]]. While spam is generally seen as inevitable, [[FP]](''the only active admin'') is known to [[Moderation|moderate]] it on a regular basis, undertaking actions such as: ratelimiting, color banning, or IP banning spammers, performing rollbacks to restore destroyed content, or updating the site's code in order to brick specific spam scripts. Despite this, dedicated spammers have generally been able to circumvent these measures and attack the site for prolonged periods of time.
+On their part, regular users can fight spam by clearing it manually. They can also use a [[Wipers|wiper]] script, though these are subject to abuse and tend not to be handed out freely. And while FP is the only admin on the OWOT [[/|Frontpage]], several trusted users have been given the ability to perform rollbacks on [[/main]] using a tool known as the [[Moderation#Time Machine|time machine]].
