Users' handles should not be dictionary keywords #201

Closed booleanbalaji closed 5 years ago

booleanbalaji commented 7 years ago

Example: https://kilter.talkfunnel.com/2017/9-microbiome-gut-function-and-immunity

The handle used here is nutritionist and is misleading. Keywords like engineer, doctor, developer should not be allowed

Are their examples of such policies in effect elsewhere?

booleanbalaji commented 7 years ago

Not publicly, but there are conversations on product forums on keywords which are not allowed.

Google blocks usernames with keywords like accountant or gmail or chrome and some more sensitive stuff like dkennedy. It also seems like they ban the usage of celebrity names. Pfeiffer@gmail.com is not allowed, but a combination is, because of Michelle Pfeiffer. Yahoo is a little more aggressive, not allowing even die.

What about Twitter and GitHub? I'm more inclined towards their policies as they allow usernames to be changed, unlike Google and Yahoo where they are permanent.

Closing this as we are retaining our liberal policy. Besides, this is not a technical issue to be dealt with in Lastuser.
