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."
