Actual, non-meme description
Baby Jail, the "new player and whitelist" server feature, was created to help guard the servers versus newbro tiders after the PC Gamer trailer. Its server, Hopper, has been removed from Wizden (because it outlived its purpose, turned into LRP-with-whitelist, and there is currently not enough admins to juggle the pre-Nov 2024 workload). This code should now be removed from the codebase or matured into a permanent fixture without a silly name.
Additional context
Baby Jail was a joke name for the feature, referring to "baby jail", a term I first heard from @peptron1 during her time adminning on TG. It's actually a regular internet meme. It probably shows how mentally stressed the contrib/maint crew were pre-trailer that the name got past the sniff test to begin with.
