Is there a way to restrict the creation of NAMES

  • @webby101

    WPMU has a Banned Names option that restricts the creation of certain blog names. I’ve run into a situation that would allow someone to register with the USERNAME “someName”, then, in profile settings, change their NAME to something like “administrator”. I can see people getting tricked by users passing themselves off as site admins or staff (not everyone looks at the url).

    Is there anyway to get a Banned Names list going for the USERNAME and NAME fields? Another option, just like what already exists for USERNAME, would be to disallow the creation of a NAME that already exists.

    Example, if I am already using the NAME “joe”, no one else can.

    Thanks!

    This would be a handy admin function. Any ideas out there?

    what about get_site_option( "illegal_names" ) – maybe hook into that? already in the function wpmu_validate_user_signup
