Isn't there some kind of filter for Username during account creations??
I seem to be getting a few inappropriate usernames with words in them like bitch, ass, ****, etc...

If there isn't, there ought to be. (y)

It's in admincp but may not be functional.

Rectangle Font Parallel Screenshot Number


Edit - it may also require superadmin access on some sites.

I don't recall seeing that in our ACP. I think that is for SACP access only

I do send out notes but I rarely get a response.
Todays catch sent me a note back wanting me to change it to Papi Chulo to which I declined also. I'm waiting for them to send me an appropriate name lol

Your not the only one, the problem is there are so many ways of disguising a word or sentence, I've seen some very imaginative ones, if it resembles obscenity then I will delete their post giving them a reason and tell them to contact me for a name change and that further posts under that username will also be deleted, very, very rarely do I get a reply. Also some words have much different 'meanings' other countries.
Not an easy situation to control.

Is that in AdminCP or Super-AdminCP? Or where in AdminCP is it found. Nodes, Users, where? I've looked but I'm not seeing anything like you posted so I might be looking in the wrong place. I'm seeing some rather suggestive names of late myself. I'd be adding some words if I knew how to get to that example that was posted. Wondering if this Google one tap is the reason myself. It's just way too easy to get a username now so expect to see much more of these inappropriate or suggestive names.

I can't see it either, it must require higher access than we've got. 😕
