	'''[[Developer]] usurpation''' is ~~when~~ a [[~~usurper~~]] ~~with technical skills or technological access that the ordinary [[sysop]] doesn't have, over-rides the [[sysop~~ power ~~structure]] to put~~ [[~~block IP]] measures or other restrictions in place that make it impossible for the [[sysop~~]] to ~~undo what~~ the ~~developer does~~.		'''[[Developer]] usurpation''' is a pheomonen in [[real estate]] in which a developer puts pressure on local government to use its power of [[eminent domain]] to reapportion land ownership without just consideration of the public good.

	~~This is a power play of the most extreme kind, and strongly frowned upon even when it is done under the direct order of a~~ [[~~GodKing~~]]~~. It makes it obvious that there is a~~ [[~~power structure~~]] that is quite different from that which is "negotiated" in the "virtual community" - and in fact proves that there is no such community or community-managed space, but merely something like a corporate shopping mall, where presence is at the sufference of security guards.		[[Corruption]] and [[bribery]] are sometimes involved.
