[SOLVED] Restrict Username

[SOLVED] Restrict Username was created by jhenderson
Is there a way to prevent certain usernames? We had someone try to use our site name as their username today, and the only way I can think of to prevent variations like that is to create dummy users with the user names we don't want.

Edit the username field in CB > Field Management and under Parameters > Validation use the "Forbidden Words" parameters to prevent certain usernames from being used.
