Member

From Our World of Text Wiki

A member of a world, is a special type of user that can protect squares on the world, use BG colors[1] and write on those squares. Normal users cannot do these things. Members can be added or removed by a world's owner, and users can opt out of membership within a certain world.

A list of main world members on December 7th, 2021

Admins are known to appoint beneficial users to be members on the Mainpage.

Main world members have the (Member) tag in chat, which members of other worlds do not have. They can also access other member functionalities on the Mainpage, most notably the ability to protect pieces of text. By scrolling around Spawn, you can find the occasional art or message that are preserved by member protections.

Main world members can also edit the Center Console. For example, Happyworld392 added the 🍖 and 🍬 links to the SOP around 2021.

Criteria for main world members

"It depends on how we're feeling the day you asked. Generally, we'd give membership to old or mature members of the community, but even that depends.

The members promoted last year were trial members to see how they'd do."

— FP on January 1st, 2022

Users can become members by asking FP or InfraRaven, though there's no strict criteria for becoming one.

List of main world members

Notes

  1. for main world members in the main world (or background colors is set to "me and members" by the world owner.)
  2. 2.0 2.1 "cv and tap20 were promoted because they asked for membership, and I called them "trial mods" which was inaccurate because members aren't moderators."— FP
  3. "well i can assure you that i would use my abilities to page member to do absolutely fucking nothing since i barely go on the website anymore" — Fern in 2023
  4. "for starters, Vixie's membership was an utter failure on my part. when I received a DM in 2020 requesting membership, I thought it was somebody who was genuinely interested in maintaining the member-protected area in the center [...] at the time, I was not aware of Vixie's background or that he was a spammer." — FP
  5. Vixie is believed by large parts of the community(ranging from Anons to Fern) to be a pedophile, but the allegations are not 100% proven.
  6. "the period of time between "i got member" and "cutievova demote" measured precisely in milliseconds" — Cv
  7. "[andrei] said some dumb password challenge thing [and] cutievova actually gave details, and then afton had brief member seizure before i told and he got demoted [...] they started putting a bunch of random shill shit on center console too" — Happyworld
  8. "It's a pretty long story. So i was just sending "person below has to tell me their owot password" and cv fell for it, and he actually /told me his password. And then, when he became a member, i, an absolute idiot, wanted to give bzuki (at the time i didnt know he was a complete retard.) Imagine what would've happened if infra didn't demote me. Good thing infra noticed." — Andrei reflecting on the situation that got Cv demoted
