I came upon this by playing around with my test installation. The login filter with its regexp capacity is a great help however it can be easily tricked:

Supposed "jerk" is considerred an undesired word on a forum

User X register as "harmless", because he already became aware of the filter. He then chooses "The admin is a jerk" as alias:

Result: Trolling around as "The admin is a jerk" despite "jerk" being in the filter. I know, aliases can be turned off, but that's not a satisfying solution. Would it be feasible to use the login filter for both login and aliases? This way it couldn't be bypassed any longer without the necessity of turning it off.
