#Feature Request

Restrict/Ban/Reserve Usernames

Please add the feature for Admin to Restrict/Ban/Reserve some username. This will prevent users from choosing those usernames at signup. Admin can restrict usernames like: Admin, Support, Founder etc. This will help prevent impersonation.

I added this idea to feature request please vote if you think it is very important and useful. Thank you

Adding related link so the fTeam can follow

Word filter in Pro (profanity or obscenity filter) and some custom regex against UserName, First and Last Name, NickName/BrandName (aka alias for WP username) and Posts/Comments content.

Shahjahan Jewel it would be good to have this list a custom list in some way so other then English words could be added etc. Maybe even Admin could decide to have only random UserNames for Free users - only Paid users could customize it.
