Username blocking

    When adding usernames to the username blocking list, is it possible to block a username using a partial match?

    I have a couple of sites that for some reason are getting hit with lost of usernames like…
    this_is_an_invalid_email1451359565
    …With the number different on each attempt.

    If I was able to do a more general block like…
    invalid_email
    …That would get them all and be so cool!
    Is there a way to do this?

    Hi,

    Currently, there is not a way to add wildcards to usernames. We have received similar requests though and have an internal feature request open to add this to a future release. We can’t guarantee a timeframe or that this feature will get implemented but we do consider all suggestions.

    Thanks!
    Brian
