fp

fp (also stylized as FP) is one of the administrators of Our World of Text, as well as its lead developer. He is tasked with maintaining the server and client, managing certain events (including the New Year's countdowns and April Fools events), cleaning up the front page, and protecting OWOT from both external and internal threats.

fp is an administrator on the OWOT Discord server. He uploads screenshots to the #screenshots channel almost daily and makes sure the server is kept safe from spammers and outside threats.

Moderation(OWOT)

As OWOT tracks every edit made to its canvas, FP has the power to trigger rollbacks whenever spam gets out of hand. He can also place rate limits on specific users — or on certain areas of the canvas — to curb destructive scripting or any activity that puts a strain on the server. In addition to this, FP regularly bans users for disruptive spamming.

Edits on subworlds are tracked as well, and users can request FP to perform rollbacks on their pages. Importantly, however, there is an option for world owners to turn off edit tracking. FP encourages users to do so in the event that they have a long-running script(Ex. Lime's radio) on their pages, so as to not clog up storage. If they do not comply then he will resort to turning it off himself. This is stated to be the only instance where FP will temper with other users' worlds.

FP is currently the only active moderator on OWOT, meaning that the canvas is still greatly chaotic despite his best efforts. There are several other admins along with a group of users with member permissions on the Mainpage(i.e. being able to create member-only tiles), but almost all of them are inactive as of 2024. On one occasion Poopman privated the entire site in order to protect it from ?????. This is among the only instance of an administrative action performed by someone other than FP.

For years there have been petitions for FP to appoint new admins or give moderation powers to trusted users. Nothing has been done about this so far, with FP presumably being distrustful of giving out administrative power.

Moderation(Discord)

FP has frequently been criticized for not appointing any new moderators on OWOT, and especially on the OWOT Discord, which is intended to be a far more controlled environment. Most OWOT admins were admins on the Discord as well, though they tend to be as inactive there as they are on the site itself. Notably, the (former) admin Sammich was notorious for only sending 15 messages between 2017 and 2025. Facts such as these have prompted accusations of favoritism from the userbase, since all admins before 2024 were appointed purely on basis of being friends with FP while the site was being developed.

After much pressure, FP appointed a veteran scripter named Fernsy(formerly Yagton) as an admin on the server. Today Fern is in charge of the majority of moderation on the OWOT Discord.

FP changes the Center Console for most holidays.

On New Year's Eve, he hosts a live countdown for every timezone.
