Filter usernames for swear words

I don't think this needs more context…

Signatures are the only place where assets links still work.

Random personal stuff about myself that isn't above:
Ethnicity and religion:
I'm ethnically Ashkenazi Jewish and italian. In terms of religion I'd consider myself agnostic.

Politics:
I'd consider myself a centrist typically I lean left but I also hold some opinions that could be considered right leaning. Overall I'd say I'm Libertarian.

Knife rant:
Spending lots of money on carving knives has never made sense to me I've used the same $20 Morakniv since 2018 and as long as I sharpen it regularly it is still sharp enough for carving and basically any other task. I'm sure I'm the only person on the forums who cares about any of that but thanks for reading I guess.

If you're down here comment “forumers be like” on my profile

I think someone DDoS'ed filterbot.scratch.mit.edu or something like that, so that's why we now have these weird usernames and reports of people being able to safely write the name of Purple Chat Site and other curse words.

ping: cannot resolve filterbot.scratch.mit.edu: Unknown host

did that domain even exist? and yeah the api endpoint for validating usernames is now returning username allowed even for ones with bad words in it

I think they were using that account as an example, not saying you should make that account :P

Edit: Yup, still works on here. Not that it's particularily difficult to avoid…
