Ban behaviour

Bans are stored for that room against a persistent browser ID. A banned player cannot rejoin that room from the same browser profile. Like most browser-only identity systems, clearing site storage or using a different browser/device can bypass it; stronger account/IP-based moderation can be added later if needed.

Co-host moderation

• The room owner can promote and demote hosts.
• Co-hosts can kick and ban players.
• Co-hosts cannot promote or demote hosts.
• The original room owner cannot be kicked, banned, or demoted.
