Reviving an old thread to try to get some ideas for user names to block.

I just added "editor" and declensions of "moderator" to the list, and would like to hear of some other words that could cause confusion.
Quote:
webmaster|^xoops|^admin|editor|moderat

Do I need to put in a full regex for the last one to work properly, e.g. '\w*moderat\w*', or will 'moderat' match anything containing those letters?

Any other words you may have found useful to shun away?

Thanks.

use ^ for the regex i think..

names i ban are moderator, admin, my name lol, and as many offensive words as possible.. ie f*ck, sh&t etc etc..

and any names that u think maybe used to trick people into thinking that some1 works for you or your site..

If this is valid regex (and I have no reason to believe the XOOPS team have implemented their own custom regex), the caret indicates the start of a line; omitting it simply means I also want to ban words like 'TheOneAndOnlyModerator', and not just words beginning with 'moderat'.

Thanks for the input. I was only thinking of words that would induce confusion as to the status of the user, but offensive language obviously qualifies.
