Anonymous users

Some users, such as Jamel, prefer to seek refuge in the OWOT Discord in order to avoid interacting with anons

"Anon" redirects here. For the former OWOT admin, see Anon_guy.

*See also: List of Anons

An anonymous user (often shortened as "anon") is a user who is not currently signed into a Uvias account. They aren't identified by a traditional username; instead, they are assigned a random numerical ID, 1-4 digits long, which changes each session.

An anonymous user's default screen name is their ID, surrounded by brackets (e.g. [1000]). If they have a nickname set, its value is appended to the end, and an asterisk precedes their ID (e.g. [*1000] sample nickname).

Permissions

Anonymous users have access to many of the basic privileges found in OWOT. They can:

• Visit and/or edit public worlds,
• Visit and/or edit member-only worlds with a membership key,
• View and send messages in chat,
• Set a nickname in chat,
• and send & receive command broadcasts.

They're also explicitly disallowed from any of the following:

• Claiming worlds,
• Visiting private worlds, or member-only worlds without a membership key,
• or setting a custom chat color. (note: this restriction is client-side only)
