We have standardized on a specific naming convention for staff on our forum. Is it possible to restrict a specific substring in a username to prevent other users from using it? It is a very specific string that could not be used inadvertently.

Got it. :man_facepalming: I just used *+myreserved string and it works just fine.

[תמונה] jordan1909: I just used *+myreserved string To be clear: you are saying that putting *blah into reserved usernames results in oneblah not being allowed as a new user name?

Worked perfectly for me. I entered *_ companyref (note the_is included. We use_company to denote staff in naming) . I then tried to create an account with approx. 30 different usernames with this naming convention and each time I was told it wouldnt work. So short answer, yes worked perfect for me.

[תמונה] jordan1909: I just used *+myreserved string and it works just fine. Shouldn’t it be *mystring* to avoid people using something like “MikeMYSTRINGstaff”?

So possibly but I actually don’t care if the substring exists in the middle. I am more so determining the ending. So for example on our site this would be the case: John_company != allowed john_companyAsdf == allowed john_company_john == allowed So I don’t necessarily mind if the substring exists in the begining or middle or if there are different variations it is more so ensuring users cannot use our identifier at the end of a username.

האם אני יכול להגביל מחרוזות מסוימות בשמות משתמשים?
