Banpot

A form of honeypot designed specifically to get users banned—a server, community, or group created to attract, provoke, and then report rule-breakers. A banpot might present itself as a debate forum, a political discussion group, or a support community, but its real purpose is to generate ban-worthy behavior. Moderators encourage conflict, look the other way at provocation, then swoop in when the target finally snaps. The banpot is a trap: enter, be provoked, react, be banned. The creators enjoy the game; the victims never knew they were playing.

Example: "The 'free speech' server seemed ideal for open discussion. But every conversation was mined, every conflict escalated, every slip screenshotted. The server was a banpot—designed to attract people who would eventually say something ban-worthy, then report them to the platform. Users came for debate; they left banned, not knowing the game was rigged."

Banpost

A form of goalpost manipulation where the ultimate objective is to get a user banned—from a server, community, or platform. The banpost is the moving standard of rule-breaking, the shifting target that the user can never quite avoid. First, they're warned for tone. They adjust; now they're warned for content. They adjust again; now they're warned for frequency. Each warning moves the post, each adjustment is insufficient, until finally—inevitably—they cross a line that wasn't there before and are banned. The banpost is maintained by those who want someone gone but need the appearance of justification. It's rule-enforcement as weapon, standards as traps.

Example: "They wanted him out of the server, but he hadn't broken any rules. So they created the banpost: a new rule about 'tone,' applied retroactively to his old messages. He appealed; they created another rule about 'community fit.' He asked for specifics; they created another about 'vibes.' Eventually, he was banned for 'continued failure to meet community standards'—standards that had been created specifically to fail him."

Bator-Babble

When chronic bators start to goon, and are unable to speak coherently, so rely on grunts, random sounds, and general “babble” loud and expressive and generally used during cam-bate or phone-bone where another gooner joins the bate-babble. Also applicable to group bate or circle jerks for serious bators.

Dude…I got to a place after huffing where I lost the ability to speak or think and all I could do was beat my meat and do bator-babble with a random gooner on the other end of the phone.
