Banlighting

A form of digitallighting specifically aimed at getting someone banned from a server, group, community, or website. The perpetrator provokes or frames the target until the target reacts, then uses that reaction (often isolated from context) to report them. Banlighting often spreads to related communities, as the perpetrator warns other moderators about the “toxic” target, effectively blacklisting them across multiple spaces. The goal is not just exclusion but the destruction of the target’s ability to find community.
Example: “After she disagreed with a moderator’s friend, he spent a week baiting her in DMs. When she finally called him out in public, he reported her—and was she was banned from three connected servers within hours. Banlighting: engineered exile.”

Banklighting

A digitallighting tactic that uses financial jargon and the threat of financial consequences to disorient and intimidate a target. The perpetrator may flood the conversation with references to credit scores, interest rates, or banking regulations, suggesting the target doesn’t understand “how money works.” The goal is to make the target feel economically illiterate and therefore unqualified to speak on economic issues. Banklighting is a form of class‑based gaslighting that leverages the intimidation of financial expertise.
Example: “When she mentioned high bank fees, he launched into a lecture about ‘interchange rates’ and ‘regulatory costs,’ implying her complaint was naive. Banklighting: using financial complexity to dismiss legitimate criticism.”

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
