Apply word-filter to profiles/usernames

Featured Replies

It would be very nice if admins could choose to apply also the word filters to usernames when members are registering, not only the banned usernames list.

Thanks!

So, any comments? In fact, I'm surprised that the word filter doesn't affect usernames. Shouldn't this feature be natural (with a possible option to disable the word filter for usernames not vice versa)?

This is more a bug than a feature suggestion in my opinion. As you're right, any input from the user should always be checked against the bad word filter.

You should post this in the bug tracker.

The thing is, the word filter comes from the parser engine.

Do you really want to load up the parser engine on every single page load just to check input?

How much more pages would that make?

Registration page certainly is comparatively rarely used. And also the profile edit page isn't used that often.
