Um I don't understand why this page was redirected but not merged. The problem with this redirect is that the previous info on this page wasn't even moved to that page, so it became a bit "unmentioned". I don't think this should be a redirect since it's become a popular term. Here is the recent documentation of this term: And here is the Google Insights for this term: .

Finally, the image itself is irrelevant to the article in its entirety because it does not in any lucid, particular way convey a significant idea pertaining to the "meme."

#'''Oppose'''. Furry with a hammer (thats a hammer? its too dark to say clearly) is not a good representation of a banhammer. Something like a hammer with "ban" written on it would be more representative, or some kinda logo of a program used for, and called, "banhammer". ] 08:09, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
