I just installed B2evolution and since I want users register themselves, I don't want them to use offensive and hateful usernames.
So I want to capture as many offensive names and create them myself, so nobody can use them. Is that practical? I just don't want my site be associated with some unwanted names.
You need to be checking more than just the login name as the user can choose between login, first/last/both names or a nickname as the name that they prefer to be known as so creating users with all the names/terms you want to "ban" is pretty pointless.
You could code a plugin that hooked into all of the following events ( see inc/plugins/model/_plugins_admin.class.php for a full list of supported events )
'AfterUserInsert' => '',
'AfterUserUpdate' => '',
'AppendUserRegistrTransact' => 'Gets appended to the transaction that creates a new user on registration.',
Unfortunately the first two are called after the change has already been committed to the database, ( technically the 3rd is as well but you can return false to cancel the action ), so you'd need to re-update the user with a replacement word/name
