Some usernames need to be changed

[Fastman]

IMHO a nickname like superf**ker shouldn't be allowed.

Indeed some need to be changed. Others just get banned. In this case it was the latter.

is there any reason to not have a filter when people make usernames? Any username with certain four-letter substrings could just not be allowed...

[Rabid]

There are many ways to spell pr0fan1ty.

[AdamH]

some really simple grepping can get around that

Look I've seen a lot of software projects that use stuff like this to save time. You code it once, it's done, and now you have a lot less work individually banning accounts.

Thanks for the good work.
When you do it I am the first to thank.

I have blacklisted someone with Nazi in their name.
But man, I'd love to see that banned.

Seriously?  A little over sensitive here?  I have been in Pokemon Go raids with some local over here called Aswhole.  It's hilarious!  If you can find a creative way to make the name work, I say go for it :)
