The Janitor

The Janitor is a user who appeared at spawn during September of 2022.

They are a controversial presence within YWOT due to their tendency to erase spam and slurs, which clashes with Spam Central's usual lawlessness.

Following a series of conflict with Korieum, the Janitor became a far more passive figure within YWOT. Though they still create some amount of controversy through their use of Roombas: mobile scripts which could automatically clear text at spawn.

Janitor Box[edit | edit source]

In the beginning the Janitor would signify their presence with a Box located left of the center. This Box contained a list of notable sites along with multiple rules meant to discourage griefing. Due to the anarchic nature of YWOT, many users objected to the Janitor's policing of spawn and attacked the Box. Their efforts were ultimately futile, however, as the Janitor protected their creation using scripts.

No attempt to remove the Janitor Box would be successful until Korieum's intervention in November of 2022.

Korieum/Islamic State[edit | edit source]

Self-maintaining Islamic State flag. One half is always covered up by "﷽".

On November 6th, 2022, Korieum returned to YWOT and began spamming spawn. The Janitor cleaned up the spam, prompting Korieum to paste his own box(also script-maintained) over the Janitor's box.

On November 11th, 2022, the Janitor grew tired of cleaning spam, and agreed to stop repairing their box in exchange for Korieum removing his.

As a show of victory Korieum pasted the Islamic State Flag(script-maintained) over where the Janitor Box used to be.

On November 12th, 2022 a giant, self-repairing ISIS flag appeared at spawn, remaining there until November 15th.

The Janitor remained active past this point, though their box never returned.

Evolution of Janitor Box[edit | edit source]

Roombas[edit | edit source]

Roomba Movement

On November 17th, 2022, the Janitor began creating ASCII Roombas which would travel around the page and clear text within a certain area around spawn.

Zoombis[edit | edit source]

A variant of Roombas, labeled "Zoombi," began appearing starting from November 24th, 2022. These would avoid text and leave behind a trail of block alt codes wherever they go.

Road Script[edit | edit source]

Starting on July 28th, 2023 the Janitor began running a script which re-arranges text characters. This was primarily used upon a grey road which ran through spawn at the time.

Janitor 2.0[edit | edit source]

Janitor 2.0 is a User Inspired By the Original janitor. Starting on the 1st of September

Janitor 2.0 does not seem to have a bot and erases manually. Janitor 2.0 however has a increased text deletion speed than normal users
