Just wondering if I can re-light this topic…

I’m guessing the wildcard support isn’t currently included?

We did have a member the other day register with the word _Admin_ is his username, it got spotted and we contacted him to let him know it had been modified and explained why. The feeling was that it would, in his case, have been quite easy to have had someone use the @ tagging and send something to him instead of us…

Could someone confirm that currently there is no wildcard support for reserved username (e.g. \*admin or admin\*) and that there isn’t/are plans to add it.

Thanks in advance for your time and clarity 🙂

Kind regards
