For years, moderators of online forums and chat rooms have wielded a metaphorical "banhammer" to deal with anyone who steps out of line. Now it's real. Well, a bit more real, anyway.

THANKS TO:

Mat Hill for design and coding: http://mat-hill.xyz/

Chris Joel for the idea, and for wielding the hammer.

Dan (Nerd³) for lending us his chat room: https://youtube.com/officialnerdcubed and https://twitch.tv/nerdcubed

Ray Roberts on camera

Emi Paternostro for audio mixing: http://proximitysound.com

And Chris' friend Mark, on Mixer, for inspiring the whole thing.
