I find the user can still set some names like admin as their full name (not username), is there a way that I can disallow this?

Hi, To my knowledge its not possible to restrict names. There was a feature request a while back but didn’t gain much traction [image] Restricting names (not just usernames) Feature This is likely to have come up before but I couldn’t find any topic on it, so…

Sounds like it would take a plugin.

Yes, and if you do it you have to be really careful to have a way to whitelist exceptions. I had a custom plug-in for this (May even stil have the code on my git server) and hit a snag when we had a user try to join and set his Name to his actual name because his first name is legitimately, Admin.

[image] Claudia: his first name is legitimately, Admin. Oh wow! This would be an excellent addition to https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/

Apparently I deleted the repo as I can’t find it now. I’m asking the other person who was an admin on that instance if they still have the code.
