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."

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."

A goalpost‑moving tactic that demands the target demonstrate mastery of arcane financial or banking concepts before their economic views can be considered. The perpetrator insists that without a deep understanding of fractional reserve banking, monetary transmission mechanisms, or Basel accords, the target’s opinion is worthless. When the target does research and engages, the standard shifts to “real world experience” or “executive decision‑making.” Bankpost is a way to gatekeep economic debate behind specialized knowledge that most people cannot easily acquire.
Example: “She read three books on central banking to prepare. When she cited them, he said ‘that’s academic—you don’t know how it actually works in the markets.’ Bankpost: no amount of knowledge is ever enough.”

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
