Anonymous users
*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, usually 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)
