Chatroom Martial Law



The ultimate flexing of Ghost's nuts, Chatroom Martial Law is the result of Ghost ordering the Engineer to lock down the BTR Chatroom so that other users couldn't send each other messages. The messages were however still visible to Ghost.

Ghost regularly shut down the chatroom during Twitter Shoutouts so that he could post his Twitter name in the first run of True Capitalist Radio. He usually did not refer to this as "Chatroom Martial Law" but as "Locking down the chatroom".

When Chatroom Martial Law was disbanded, the chatroom instantaneously turned into a dick-waving contest to see who can type "first" the fastest. 

Common causes


Sources of irritation which caused Ghost to implement Chatroom Martial Law included:


 * Spamming of Ron Paul
 * Spamming in general, or 'Scrolling' as Ghost used to refer to it
 * People laughing at him, especially after a successful troll.
 * Calling him a racist/Jew/hambone
 * Being trolled to the point of cans.wav
 * Playing audio splices of him about his family

Ghost also locked down the Chatroom after the broadcast ends in a rage-quit in order to prevent people from talking about him after the broadcast. From around late February-mid April 2012, the chatroom on BTR was removed and has not returned after Ghost came back in 2016. Meaning, Chatroom Martial Law was no longer needed.

However, during Capitalist Episode 497, Ghost used the term in relation to locking down his own Inner Circle chat, after an Inner Circle member trash-talked him.

When his Discord chat debuted in February 2018, he has implemented Chatroom Martial Law again when he rages over names in the chatroom.
