However, this seems only working when the user is making an edit. Creating account(Rarely working when the user makes an account on this community and IP address is blocked) and joining chat with such usernames can't catch these accounts. I think there is a way to block people from creating accounts under certain names, however it wastes more of the troll's time if they have to first create an account and then try to edit before finding out that name isn't allowed and that they're auto-blocked, rather than telling them straight away, which should help deter them from making more socks.
