Some of the effects are as follows; auto banning new users when they enter the chatroom, banning users who complement females, banning users who talk to females that the admin is interested in, banning users who are different in some way than the majority of chatters, banning or muting chatters who voice opinions against the authority of the chatroom.

Person one: "Why did you leave the room?"
Person two: "I don't know they banned me."
Person one: "Oh, it must be because your tinychat account was not registered. They don't like new people."
Person two: "This same thing happened to me the other day in another chatroom, that time I was banned when I told them I didn't smoke weed. There are some nasty cases of Chatroom Admin Syndrome going around."
