Thread:Project:Support desk/Is there a way to prevent certain words or phrases from being used in usernames?

Resolved

I checked this, but it looks like it only prevents account creation if the forbidden username matches a new username being created exactly.

What I am looking for is a way of preventing certain words from being able to be included in usernames entirely.

For example, if I want to prevent people from using the word stupid in their username I want to prevent the usernames 1stupid, xxStupidxx, or Looks Stupid from being created. I don't want to just prevent someone from making a username called Stupid.
