The summer before last, after banning a few users, admin Sinthoniel and I coined the term Grond to symbolize the "banhammer", in reference to Grond, warhammer of Morgoth and battering ram that broke the Gates of Gondor. In the scene involving Grond the battering ram in the RotK movie, the orcs are constantly chanting "Grond!" as the ram approaches the gates. Whenever someone broke a rule in the forum, there would be ~7 users posting comments saying Grond! and it was rather intimidating to the user and frankly rude.
