Reserve usernames containing forum name by default

Continuing the discussion from "Block" renamed to "Silence":

My hunch is that this is quite common and it wasn’t until recently that I noiced that there is quite a simple way to prevent this: just add *<forumname>* to the reserved usernames. Done.

Wouldn’t it be a great service to forum admins if every new discourse instance would create this reservation by default?


As an aside: I meant to create this topic in ux but for unknown reasons I can only choose between feature and Uncategorized

I suppose I’ll be able to fix the category as soon as I’ve posted this and I will do so, but I wanted to quickly mention this UI bug.
