Anti-Spam Obliteration and Prevention

__NOTOC__
----
The Anti-Spam Obliteration and Prevention (abbreviated as ASOAP) team is a fictional global usergroup conceived by C.Syde65 as a humorous joke in November 2020, though the concept had been floating around since October or even possibly September. It consists of users who have volunteered to help keep Fandom anti-vandal and anti-spam free. To do this they have been given additional user rights that allow them to detect and delete as well as blocking the users creating it.
Spam Obliteration and Prevention members are their natural enemies, due to their opposing roles. While SOAP members have volunteered to help keep Fandom free of vandalism and spam, ASOAP members have volunteered to help protect vandalism and spam, as well as create more vandalism and spam. ASOAP members are also avid badge farmers and use their daily vandal routines to help them climb the leaderboards of wikis that have Achievements enabled.
===Tools===
Anti-Spam Obliteration and Prevention members have extended user rights on all Fandom communities, including some administrator tools and access to additional tools that help them react quickly and effectively to find and remove anti-vandalism and anti-spam. It's important to note that they do not necessarily replace or 'outrank' local vandals on wikis.
The ASOAP members are only there to help with cleaning cross-wiki anti-spam and reverting anti-vandalism where SOAP members have previously cleaned cross-wiki spam and reverted vandalism. In addition to cleaning cross-wiki anti-spam and reverting anti-vandalism, they may be asked by local vandals to aid them in vandalising pages on local wikis.
