We've commonly see people change their names to "!mods" in game. This is encouraging other players to say "!mods" in chat, and is pinging the mods. This is causing them undue work, and they frequently have to reprimand the player and often times ban them.
One idea I had is you could enhance the game so it does not allow the string "!mods" to appear in the name. This should be some very basic substring validation to your name change logic, so I don't think it would be that complex to implement.
This has the potential of closing a common trolling method, reducing trolling and saving mods time.
